What if the reason I'm doing so shit is because it looks like every decision is the latter and turns out to be the former

Being tempted to get lifted instead has always been my downfall.

If I only chose actions that lifted me I would never get down

how can I stand up again, if I never went down?

I'd be down to 200lbs (currently 222) in about 2 months because I'd suddenly be able to resist really good food and instead chow down on really healthy food.

do you cook for yourself?

Probably 50% of the time. 40% of the time I'm just snacking on something (not junk food though), and maybe 10% of what I eat is fast/junk food.

Thats right bro, you’ll get your goals done, keep it up!

Ya, I'm sure. I just hate how slowly the weight's dropping. I never thought it'd take 7 months to lose 8lbs when I'm burning 1,000-1,200 calories every single day on the treadmill.

I HATE how calorie dense 90% of food is.

Calorie counting is possibly the most annoying thing that I am starting to do, but it's getting better over time. Every time I am tempted, I always remember an interview with Chris Pratt on how he got in shape. He said that when he was eating like shit he felt good when he was eating but felt like shit the rest of the day. When he changed his diet, food became less enjoyable, but he felt so much better throughout the day. This isn't saying that healthy eating can't be delicious, just a thing to think about.

I do find that if I'm exceptionally busy throughout the day, I find myself less tempted to snack. Which is not to imply that I always eat when I'm bored, I'm getting much better about that, but I'm definitely less likely to munch on something if my brain or body is completely focused on something else. Hell, even just driving all day I'll be less tempted to stop and eat vs sitting at a desk computer browsing Reddit.

Then that wasn’t the choice that would lift u…..

I mean😭 I just don’t understand how choosing something that “lifts” u could be ur downfall?

Ahh ok. To "get lifted" can mean to get high. Usually Marijuana.

Oh okay nvm I’m goofy💀💀💀💀

Not knowing about drugs can only be a good thing!
