Im pretty proud of myself for doing all this work on a pee day. I do something hard, sweat and wreck my back, lie down and watch youtube videos, then repeat!

Also new diet tip - instead of reacting to stomach pangs with a snack, i do some activity. Even if its just refilling my stevia packet box.
Maybe I should start doing that. Doing an activity instead of snacking excessively. I have a bad habit of constantly wandering out into my kitchen due to boredom and searching for stuff even when I’m not hungry and looking for stuff then as a result end up overeating throughout the day. I lost a lot of weight when I was working retail last year cause I was too busy to be snacking or eating extra meals/bingeing. And also the sheer physical activity of it helped. Sometimes I end up setting a timer on my watch for like 20-30 min at a time then when the timer goes off repeat as necessary. Kinda crazy that I have to do that but sometimes it’s necessary. I think it’s just the sheer boredom of living alone and having no one to talk to inside my apartment. If I had company maybe I wouldn’t be so bored to continually be looking for food

Anyway maybe I can redirect the wandering out into the kitchen to look for food into getting up and doing some sort of household activity.
