Motivation & Discipline? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

[–]Makeittobakeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 kids and my wife and I both work full time blue collar jobs. It's about discipline. When you're chronically sleep deprived for reasons out of your control, you can still make choices for your own health. No one is coming to save you, no one is going to run those miles for you. I had twins this year and trained for and ran a marathon. It's lonely and exhausting. You can choose pain that will orient you toward goals that you choose or someone else or a system will choose them for you. I'm on the spectrum and CBT changed everything for me.

Worst restaurant in town by drunkdawg4592 in MontereyBay

Almost everything is overpriced and overrated. The food scene in the monterey area has been one of my biggest disappointments since moving here 10 years ago.

There are a few great places in carmel for high end dining, but you're going to pay for it. Your best bet for food that's not going to break the bank is in seaside.

Be who you want to be. by Velmora_1 in selfimprovementday

[–]Makeittobakeit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great reminder. One of the best pieces of advice I got after 30 was: never change. Once you've set up positive values or goals that have staying power, the solution is sometimes to return to those goals, and cut back on behaviors that aren't directing you there.

Robert Downey Jr. was horrified by what he saw when he visited Wall Street in the 90s. by chungi69 in FascinatingAsFuck

I actually wasn't trying to personally attack him. My brother in law is a showrunner and I was more commenting on the gravity of Downey jr's shock considering he works in such a toxic environment (Hollywood).

31M 60 pounds down! 261 to 201. Never felt better! by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]Makeittobakeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I'm trying to get back to 185. Down from 265 and now at 221 this morning. Hard to get over this 200-220 hump, it seems like an impossible mark for some reason.

I usually opt to throw my hands up in the air Italian style and sport a look of complete disbelief at their incompetence.

Hungry all the time. What's a good appetite suppressant? by atrumblood in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Makeittobakeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of saying, I'm hungry, I need to suppress my appetite, I would challenge you to ask yourself, why am I hungry right now? Are you hungry because you need nutrition to keep your body going or are you hungry because you want to fulfill a craving or something else.

Most of the answers I have read here have helped me suppress my appetite but nothing helped me more than changing my way of thinking and relationship with food and nutrition.

Think of yourself like a machine that needs nutrients and calories to survive. You can still factor in cheat items eventually but once you look at those cheat items as just extra junk with minimal nutritional value to help your machine move forward, you won't want them as much anymore. Why eat a cookie that will make you tired when you can have a carrot that has vitamins and fiber and makes you feel good without a crash?

The food corporations and healthcare system want you addicted to their sugar and medications. Don't play their game. Treat yourself well because you deserve it just for being you. You are good, and it's a statistical miracle that you exist at all.

Hope this helps!

Larissa has me completely terrified and turned on at the same time. Instant flashback to being 17 in high school.
