Reply to LPT: If you go camping, especially somewhere remote, triple check your shelter when packing. by qwertisdirty
We left the tent stakes at home when my sisters and I went to the Alaska State Fair years ago. Thankfully we were all able to fit in our 95 Suburban for the night

Drink a gallon of water before every meal. It will fill you up faster.

Reply to comment by threespeaks in LPT Request: For people who work at a desk or sit in chairs for most of the day, what are some things we can do to prevent our bodies (and mind) from deteriorating over time from sitting in a chair and staring at a computer. by threespeaks
Yup! I try to keep switching. At my workplace people also use skippyballs.

Reply to LPT: Do not fall for the whole pursue "working for your dream company" idea. You will be so much better off if you have a wonderful, respectful, considerate boss at some normal business who actually values and respects you/your work, and allows you to become successful and proficient in your field. by Dismal_Body_2731
I pursued "working for my dream company" and it left me miserable. Now I have a crappy job for the best boss. I hate the actual work I do but they make sure I'm happy, paid appropriately and able to do the work (which is literally a first in my career). I just need 35 more hours a week and I might be able to, you know, earn a living.

A rule I live by is that if I see my partner working/cleaning, I'm working/cleaning too. It's much easier to do these things together because you can quickly resolve ambiguity ("where does this go?" "are you done with this? etc) and builds a sense of trust and partnership.

Maybe try eating a big carrot or a couple sticks of celery before each meal.

I hah a habit of eating too fast as a college student so I try to slow down now and stop eating when I feel almost full because after my brain catches up with my stomach, after 5 min it realizes it's full.

Every body is different. Some people's norm weight is heavier and others' are lighter. I agree that for some people food has an emotional component that could use the guidance of a therapist, but some people are just heavier and that's fine. There could be no exercise, eating, or emotional problem- just the way their genes deal with the food they intake. It's unfair to look at every bigger person and assume they haven't worked out some "issue" that thin people have "worked hard to overcome." Most of the time it's just genetics.

I give myself treats for finishing something or a break kind of reward after a specific amount of work. It’s not big stuff, like listen to a fav song or watch a specific tv show. But it’s something to look forward to if I finish xyz.

Down size. Get rid of stuff you don't need. Not a total solution but helps.
I've always told people the most powerful cleaning tool you have in your home is the trash can.

If there's a risk of hypothermia then the "general public" shouldn't be camping in such places/seasons.
Being capable of adapting is not a "niche expert". In the USA the scouts learn how to properly camp, and adapt for equipment issues.
Bottom line is if people don't know how to overcome the things you mentioned they shouldn't be camping on their own.

Take a break halfway through. I found that when I snack, I always eat to get full. But, if I ate half or so of my typical amount, and then got distracted/had to take care of something else, after 10 min or so, my "need" to eat more was gone. I also stopped eating snacks all together and eat once a day. I've lost weight this way, and maintained current weight, by doing this. I will eat til I'm full, but I'm not eating chips or other snacks til full during the day, getting hungry during mealtime and eating til full again.

I guess I'm just lucky. I'm not pumping gas on myself, but sometimes the pump already smells like gas.

-make half of your plate vegetables
-don’t eat super late
-when are you hungrier in general? In the morning or in the afternoon? Make that meal a larger one and keep the rest of your meals small
-could it be that you eat because for example- you’ve been out all day, you come home hungry just before dinner and bam you overeat? If that’s the case - try to snack an hour or two before eating dinner. A banana and a granola bar or something similar will keep you full so you don’t need to overeat later. One of my profs in uni would also say to start each meal with a full glass of water because then you’ll have less room for food.
-would mealprepping be an option? Then you can control your portions better.

My suggestion is to use smaller dishes. Smaller portions will fill up the plate and it will have a psychological effect of you're getting more food.

Reply to LPT: How to support someone grieving: the process is not linear and often takes longer than people think (even, and sometimes especially, when the relationship with the deceased was painful or estranged). A year may seem like a long time since a death, but to the grieving, it can feel very recent. by survivalothefittest
I lost my wife in 2016, my dad in 2019, and my mom in 2021. Between the caretaking and loss I swear I'm just starting to come out of decade of terror and grief.
