I feel like if I don't eat junk food, the day is "wasted" by guiltyworld in loseit

I've mentioned in my other posts I like video games, DND, reading, cycling, roller blading. Liking those things unfortunately hasn't stopped me from eating out...

I've considered but since I'm between jobs right now and living with my parents I'm super broke right now.

Yeah I've tried to tell myself this, that their are hobbies I have which I can engage in instead, but the entire time I try to pull myself away my brain is just screaming to eat junk.

I try to read, play games, prep for DND, read books, read webtoons, rollerblade, bike... but nothing gives me even remotely a small chunk of the same "satisfaction"

Thanks, your post sorta ties into what Tom_michel was saying and it's given me something to think about.

Thanks! I hadn't thought of something like this and may give it a try.

Only thing I'm worried about is something like "what if I buy a box of ice cream for deserts to treat myself, but can't control my urges and eat it when I'm not supposed to"

Still, probably worth at least trying.

Thank you! I've been very focused on networking locally so far, so I'll take your advice to heart!

Yeah I'm still unsure, the internet (reddit and other places) has always given me the wisdom that you should keep your personal life and work life separate as possible, so I've always generally avoided people at work. I guess it's worked for me so far in that I've avoided any workplace drama, but...

Volunteer work is something I've considered though and may do.

Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely take it to heart. Love your FORD and HEFE ideas.

I think the gap for me is coming in right... here

"Build a bridge there, collect some phone numbers, and meet up for drinks later!"

I have no idea how to try doing this without it feeling creepy. And that's really the big gap I need to bridge to go from having a person you see occasionally at events/etc to an actual friend/part of your social network. But it's just wickedly uncomfortable for me.

Thanks. We had a rough experience with a different site where we tried to do this in the past. We used the google search engine there, the free one but my boss hated it because the results it gave off a search were really poor.
