>>525107Not eating out is great for the wallet and diet. I've been giving this advice constantly because it's such a game changer. Take whey protein and fiber supplements plus plenty of water. They suppress your hunger significantly and prevent muscle loss to a degree. Eating less takes some time to get used to it. Craving food 24/7 of the day is normal the first week or two. Just keep going. Also failing is normal. Your goal is to fail less and less. Expect failure but strive for failing 0 times.

Sup, leftypol. Huge thanks for all the info and tips, I'm looking into everything!
I was tempted to eat out today. Resisted. Ate steak with rice and veggies. Still kinda craving going out, but I won't. Plus I have plenty of fruit here to snack on.
Anyway, that's not so bad. Just finished more contracts. It feels good to watch money on Upwork go from the "Work in progress" tab, to "In review", to "Pending", and finally to "Available".
Ideally, I should apply to additional contracts. I need more baskets (clients) among which to distribute my eggs (labor time) to mitigate the risk of losing a client.
I'm gonna play a quick game of Chess, then get to work creating some programming challenges for a client.
Overall it's been really helpful knowing that if I fuck up, I'll have to post here. So far my only goal is to not eat out. But with time I'll post my current weight and stats, pics, weight loss goals, money goals, and much more.
I'm so fucking ready to get my life in order. Things can't go on like this. The revolution needs powerful workers with strong, beautiful bodies and curious, penetrating minds.

Reminder that food cravings take weeks to subside but they DO subside. Falling to cravings is a normal part of waning off something. Thinking otherwise is what leads alcoholics/drug addicts into relapsing, obviously drugs are way harder to quit, just as an example. The point is to widen the gaps between failures until they're far apart.
Small differences over a large period of time ADD UP. Big differences are sometimes harder to maintain over long term than small ones.

I'll tell ya what happened, but only once. It sounds trite but… it was a girl. I got involved where I shouldnt've, got attached when I shoulda known better. I feel like a damn fool and so I'm back here in the old haunts.
She had BDP, ASD, DID, the works. I tried to take it slow but you know what that sniffly Slovenian said, love is traumatic and you can't help but trip and tumble when you
fall in love. Felt like one night I refused to let her kiss me, skin to skin sleeping the next. I didn't know how to handle it, I stopped it for a while. Truth be told, I wanted an open relationship and she didn't. We both knew that but we kept on going way beyond where it should have ended. We both hurt but we ended up the same way again. On and off. Finally she made the call herself to quit things. I guess her saying, "no more," was what I needed to quit.
I blame myself for it all. It exposed my weaknesses, ones I didn't realize. She's gone now, stepped back from all the things we did together. I wanna do the same, fall into nothing like ash off a cigarette but I know that'll only hurt me further. I just wish I never did anything, never even got
the chance to hurt her… I just hope she deals with it better than she has historically and I can deal with my own sense of shame.
Only way I'm going to be able to do that is by not making the same mistakes. All I can do is be a better man, right?

On one hand, not having to worry about the social expectation of sexual exclusivity when you want to fool around is good and all but…
On the other, you're right. Although, it wasn't like I was going out of my way to be sleeping around.
I'll explain my reasoning like this: We're young, decently attractive and openly attracted to other people. On top of that, romantic attachement and sexual desire are two seperate things in my brain. The way I saw it, it'd be better to come to an understanding regarding sexual non-exclusivity to allow us some breathing room to live a little. Maybe we slip up while intoxicated, maybe we find someone we click with one night. Maybe we just want to experience something new the other can't or won't provide. No sense in depriving ourselves of having a little fun every now and again, right? If she wanted to sleep around a bit, no skin off my back. Sure, I'd have felt a tinge of jealousy but really, that's just human nature. That's how I figured it but she didn't see it that way.
In some twisted way, I suppose I wanted it because I loved her, so she could have the option of other people open, you know? So she wouldn't be expected to just stick to me, to feel trapped by me or otherwise… regretful one day that she chose
me?
I think, at the end of the day, it's like I'm just conflicted when it comes to what it is I really want.
Who it is I really want, even. Maybe I'm not cut out for this whole relationship business, maybe I'm afraid of commitment? You use the term "sex partner" specifically but she wasn't just a sex partner to me. I felt different with her, an attraction that was stronger and far more intense, that went beyond her body. It was like I found pieces of my own soul in her, as if reflected in shattered glass. I've slept with others but in none of them did I feel the same deep sense of longing. In none of them did I feel the same desire to
be with them.
But, what's done is done. I survived without her and I'll survive without her. I just wish she ends up with a better man than I and that I can figure my shit out before I end up hurting someone else. The problem is that when I feel so emotionally incapable or socially inept, I tend to isolate myself which is the exact opposite of what I need to be better. OP says that they're sick of making the same mistakes and dang it, so am I!
Having said that, put a strike against my name for the bad habits. Ended up masutrbating for a quick dopamine release. Guess I've gotta re-roll.

Having someone as a sole necessity in your spirit ( as the salt is to the plant ), with furher desires emerging in you to harmonize with the subject of her, unable to have dinstinctions… ( not being 'able' to choosing other people )
Yet, at the same time, going against her will to be fully together with you… like, she told you that her wish is to be only with you, right? ( or maybe I got it wrong )
Perhaps, she was 'scared' of losing you. Of losing the mysterious quality that you felt and made her feel, how could she respond if you told her that sex is just a bland ritual that you can do it with everyone- but, what if she wanted to 'share' all her had with you, apart from whatever quality of the action has… you said you long for her presence, yet, you wanted her to share it with others. Perhaps for her, even thinking anyone other than you was a grand tragedy, the thought itself would appear a bitter ache in her chest- what if she already have chosen you?

Also focusing too much on scoring bodies and scoring nuts instead of actually enjoying what's happening.
What I mean is that until I got my shit together I was dissociating whenever I had sex and I would have agreed with you. It's not a priority, it's a stretch goal. Speaking of stretch goals I've decided to anally fuck a man this weekend. Anal is definitely overrated last time I did it my partner basically decided we need to take a break.

This week, my goal is to not use my computer after 9 PM. Which will be particularly challenging this week, as I have a ton of work, and night is my most productive time. So I must submit totally to the discipline of getting my work *done* during the day. Not fucking off like an idiot.

I recommend the "one attention sheet" where you write down every single one of your responsibilities on a checklist. Things which are not true responsibilities like "spare thoughts" or reminders, cool names you invented for things, entertainment you wish to check up on, that all goes in a separate list. For the main one talking about your priorities like phone calls, appointments, personal healthcare things you forget, stuff you have to do, not just hope to remember. This helps eliminate the anxiety of whether you're doing what you ought to be doing.
Also if you have shit teeth try using Super Floss and then using an iodized salt rinse.

Once you have habits down, you can then increase them. Like going once a week to the gym, then once you have that, then twice etc.

Thanks for the kind words, comrades!
Someone asked if I'll be implementing a .onion soon - yes I will. First, I'm going to setup a blog. Then, I'll make an epic blogpost about securing the site (adding HTTPS, .onion, and tons of other security features, just as a learning experience)

G'day y'all. Here's what I'm doing today: MONEY.
I'm creating coding challenges for a client on Upwork.
My family needs me, so I can't fuck around.
