This is the 80th comment and no one has said “drugs” (unless you count alcohol). Maybe drug addicts have better things to do with their time than browse lemmy!

Browsing the Internet on my phone instead of sleeping. It is indeed what I am currently doing.
Not sleeping like… Right now
Hard to narrow it down to just one. I’d say it’s a toss up between my eating habits and weed.
Tossup between how much caffeine I drink and not working out.
Vaping, doomscrolling, not eating healthy, binge drinking sometimes. The usual
Vaping daily and an expensive meal + six pack every Friday night.
Y’all know about Tostito’s Queso in the jars? I go through a tall jar per week. I’m sure the strong, hazy IPAs are also not on the healthy food pyramid.
Is it the salsa con queso or just a plain cheese? Because for some reason the salsa con queso jars are like crack to me. I can eat a whole jar in maybe 2 days, so I only purchase it very sparingly lmao.
I’m sure the strong, hazy IPAs are also not on the healthy food pyramid.
But some lines we do not cross.
See: Walmart Great Val-u Rainbow Chip Cookies.
And whisky. And so, so so, so-so so much tea.
Ha, yeah… I hunt for good beer. I’m from the U.S., I’ve been to about 500 breweries in 7 countries. The search will go on!
I think people will change their mind when presented with facts
That and having to constantly check myself for just being human and not being the beacon of perfection I was supposed to be.
stay at my desk for too long
6 pack of beer almost every night for the past 3 months. Doctor refuses to help me unless I go to rehab, but it’s not feasible to spend that much time away from home.
Husband was drinking 3-4 a night and I was freaking out about it, he got it down to 1-2 by not buying it in packs except on weekend. Like he will stop at the corner store and get one beer for after work.
If you buy only one on your way home, instead of a six pack, do you think you would go out and get more, or might it work for you as it did for him?
I managed to quit for a week by buying one at a time plus a six pack of non alcoholic beer. Trying it out again today.
Good luck to you! A beer, a healthy supper, a walk in the night before bed. You can build healthy habits not just unhealthy ones. Do things to replace that beer. Yin yoga is really relaxing too, good bedtime practice.
Usually I’d be three in by now. Instead I mopped my floors and walked the dog. Eating a big salad now. Trying my hardest rn.
Awesome, that is great progress no matter what. Practice is what matters. Take care of yourself. Not kidding about the yin yoga - slow and cold, with pillows, it sort of tricks your nervous system into feeling safe.
3-4 a night?! That’s nothing at all.
Comfort eating. Before I got adhd meds I had zero impulse control, so I’d eat nothing or eat everything. I would be 75% through a giant bag of snacks, and I’d be actively not enjoying them and wanting to stop, but I just couldn’t. I’d stop and put them away and ten seconds later I’d be back eating, even though I was feeling sick and gross.
On meds, that’s stopped and I’ve realised that my craving for snacks is all about comfort, stimulus, and self regulation, and nothing to do with hunger. But even knowing that, I struggle to bother with other harder but healthier ways of stimulating and relaxing, when I could just eat crackers with thick slabs of salty butter, or alternate between dark chocolate and salty peanuts. It’s not the worst, but I’m very conscious of that it’s not really about the food and so it feels like a lot of empty calories just to chill me out a little.
Sitting at my desk at work is probably the biggest health risk I face.
I eat well, exercise, drink moderately (not every day, never more than two, almost always one drink only), don’t smoke, have sex every day, manage my blood pressure, really try to be good to my body and do things to reduce anxiety but the enforced idleness of desk job is for sure unhealthy.
I’ve gotten into the habit of eating and drinking things fast because of limited time on break and now my digestive system is in terrible shape
