My stats:

Mission: Generally, I see that my mission is to glorify God by personally being conformed to his image by his grace. That environment creates financial necessity which then fuels my pursuit of high value marketplace services.

Spiritual: very knowledgeable about practical theology. Inactive in church. Pray all throughout the day. I do share the gospel, but pray for strength to share more.

Stats: Lifting 1-2 times a week while doing BJJ 1-2x a month.

5'11”, 245lb, Bench: 175lbs, Squat: 215lbs DL: 175lbs


My progress:

Here is what I have tried doing so far:

I have quit taking a medication 2 months ago that I've been on for years and I no longer have "appetite suppression" as one of its positive (secondary) benefits. (it was not a weight-loss medication, is was for something unrelated)


My problem:

Here is what "triggers" me to go get food.

  1. As soon as I don't feel "full", I remember how awesome that food tastes so I want to experience the awesomeness
  2. I mindlessly go to the kitchen and eat
  3. (20 minutes later) I realize what I did and cringe/facepalm myself about it

Obviously I need a "solution" to step #2 -- how do I be more mindful and not do stupid things for no reason? (for starters, posting a reddit thread about it is a good start)


Edit 1 (4:06 PM August 9, 2022) UTC: I will try placing a post-it on the refrigerator saying "I'm so disappointed in you" or "I know you're better than this" or will try each one for a week and let "the free markets" determine which one is most effective at curbing demand (for food).
