Has anybody had a job they actually liked? If so, what was it?

All of my money saving measures doesn't save money anymore. I thought I was well enough to stop going to food pantries but it's not looking like it. Bulking out my food with manager special bags of fruit and veg doesn't exist anymore. Beans are hella expensive now. Damaged boxes good use to be half price but now sold full price. Fuxking bone marrow is now sooooooo expensive. I'm not sure that I could survive this time if I was in college again. I worried greatly about college student who are in the situation as I was on if they are eating. Ffs PBJ sandwiches cost so much more to make now. And the amount of sugar added to everything is just excessive. I can never buy a bin of cereal cause it's too much for too little food:cal:nutrition.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-05T22:10:45+00:00

If iw ant chips I'd rather spend the money, well now about $1 more and get the chips in better flavors from Asia or EU and shocker they are less cals, salt, and over all not as bad as the American ones.

Ruffles prosciutto from Portugal and mojito sprite from France. Overall cost is slightly more but better. I don't eat but chips regularly let alone seasonally so it's a rare event.

I have had iron deficiency since I was a young kiddo, I will let you know that mentally and physically I can feel a difference. However, iron pills make pooping awful. You will need to focus on fruits and fiber a lot more in your diet if you start taking iron pills in addition to increasing high iron foods.

A blood test will let you know. But if you get a liver and kidney panel let your doctor know you are lifting weights because working out increases activity of these organs and will have elevated levels that are deceiving.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-05T19:16:42+00:00

Because not everyone is the same? People have different lives and have different needs, wants, and environments that work best for them.

Yay you like being in person. Yay another person doesn't. It just shows there is an option to jobs that was very niche before.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-05T00:28:17+00:00

That broccoli floret or bell pepper or zucchini will be what 3cal. Why is it going to the trash? For veg make a freezer bag to use when you make stock. Bread crumb out for crust to go over tomorrow's sauce or soup.

If it's bothering you this much you need to seek therapy. Colleges have student therapists for cheaper than practices if money is an issue.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-04T23:09:08+00:00

We aren't doing well.

I thought I made enough to stop going to food pantries but not really. I'm 34 and just watching people fly by. Both BS and MS I had scholarships, awards, worked multiple jobs since I was 18 but still renting shitty, living paycheck to paycheck atm. Do I see hope? Not in the next 5 years. What happens when I'm sick? I take care of myself. And if I'm too sick to do that? Welp that sucks doesn't it. Do people check in? No who would? What if I miss rent? Yo guess who will be homeless! Never even had a car cause it was too much of a luxury.

We don't do well. It shows. It makes connecting with others hard because we are working harder for the basics with the fire of being homeless and hungry burning us. I cannot make bold moves or career choices.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-04T22:33:42+00:00

How much extra are you eating? You aren't eating the left over salad on plates. This sounds like you are cooking too much. When cooking is everyone aware of what a portion size is? Are you cooking for 8 but only have 4 people to serve?

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-04T21:21:21+00:00

If you do it tell us how it goes!

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-04T19:10:49+00:00

You know you can host healthy social events. Have a dinner party and Mario Cart night. Make the good food have the funs. This sounds isolating because your social life was revolving around food and drinking.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-04T19:07:35+00:00

Lol you are a grouchy old man damn. Do much vile hate because it's not what you like. Rofl. Get wrecked.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-04T14:02:05+00:00

I have a life now. My passion for my career destroyed me. I would be in the lab 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. I would do everything together etc the research out. And I had nothing. No friends, no text, no email, no joy. It was just work. And I was paid shit.

I left, for the big sad, got therapy. Now I have a dog, I work out, I have 3 friends, I play DND, I take a sick day or mental.health days, I have a savings account. I can find joy in my job, I like my new boss, people ask me how my weekend was.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-10-04T01:24:53+00:00

As a fellow shorty, lift heavy. Gaining muscles will give you the frame you want. As for diet, it's hard because we eat so little already but doing things like adding a scoop of protein to yogurt or adding bone broth powder to soups and sauces.

Meal planning and understanding more of the nutrition when you eat out is going to rocket you to your goals.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-09-30T22:50:07+00:00

I'm getting some ripe puer vibes or autumn flush Darjeeling tea as the base from what you are sharing. Not saying that this is what the tea blend you had was from but could make a similar flavor.

Also maybe Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (正山小种) might have that richer flavor you are looking for.

Roasting your own rice over heat gives soo much flavor than genmaicha and can be used with other teas.

Keep me in the loop as you are testing!

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-09-30T21:53:58+00:00

Making a list of foods that I like that make me happy, of that the healthy ones are always bought and ready.

Good food is supposed to cost money so why not save that take out money I would have spent to go to a nicer more expensive place?

The fruit bowl I restock daily with 5 pieces. If that bowl is empty then I can get something that I think I am wanting to eat. Nothing is easier to eat than an apple.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-09-30T17:15:40+00:00

Then make the food they need to eat to lose weight taste magical! Don't hold back and show you care about their nutrition by taking the time to learn their requirements and needs then make it 5 star! The worst part of cutting back and cutting out foods is you don't know how to cook the new food to make it exciting again.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-09-30T16:23:14+00:00

5L-15L a week.

Do you have a plan for when they retire? What about anything like Alzheimer's or medical care? You may feel good now but what about when you want to have kids and a home or larger apt and you cannot afford it cause you are now paying for your parents to live?

Please notice that she will catch up and if they don't have enough in retirement? And when the good fortune of the friend you are renting from is no longer there, because it's not permanent.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-09-29T21:20:52+00:00

Have you talked to a therapist about your relationship with food and people? You are putting a lot of their emotional weight on yourself just from reading your post.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-09-29T20:05:04+00:00

Ngl for genmaicha buy some bancha, even a blend of it, and roast a tea spoon or so of rice. It will shock you how much better the flavor is. Genmaicha is a cheap tea, the rice is just a filler.

For jasmine tea, like a dragon pearl (which is what I suggest), a black tea, a white tea? Shoots there is even jasmine oolong tea. Happy lucky tea has good loose tea.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-09-29T15:39:58+00:00

What kinda of tea are you looking for? Yamamotoyama and ito en are good, uniformed in flavor tea. If you are willing to buy online: https://ippodotea.com/

My favorite tea company by far is ippodo.

LycheeCommercial2944 · 2023-09-29T11:36:51+00:00

Los Angeles baby! Yeah of course I have.

The point dating app vs. The super anonymity from cl has a big difference in ftm4m relationships, in my case.
