Iād been trying to eat less sugar for over a year, just wanted to feel a bit better, have more energy, maybe help my skin. But every time I tried, Iād end up eating sweets again the moment I felt stressed or overwhelmed
Only recently something actually clicked.
Now I just have, like, one cheesecake with a cappuccino a week. And weirdly ā thatās enough.
My skin really did get better, but more than that, I realized I used to eat sugar to distract myself from how I felt. Like I was trying to create a sense of joy instead of actually feeling it.
Now I have to find real ways to comfort myself (it was pretty hard at first tbh).
And the funny thing is ā when Iām feeling okay, I donāt even want sugar that much.
I look at something sweet and think that I donāt really want it now

šAs my cousin Ronnie would jokingly say at family reunions, Iām on the seafood dietāI see food, I eat it!!
I have historically had a problem with overeating snacks and if I buy chips itās really easy for me to eat them all in one sitting. I embrace an ingredients household mindset and try to only buy whole foods based snacks like cheese, nuts, etc that are so boring and wholesome theyāre kind of hard to eat too much of them.
Demonic food scientists and executives at corporate conglomerate food manufacturers, many of whom worked at cigarette companies in the past, have engineered hyper processed foods to be optimally addictive. I replace the chips I used to be addicted to with alternative snacks that use better ingredients and typically come in much smaller bagsāI have yet to find my methadone for my drug of choice, HOT CHEETOS because Iām OPPRESSED and the bougie snack industry evidently doesnāt care about MY NEEDSāand I portion them out into bowls when I eat them then put the bag away.
If you have some kind of an Uber Eats/Doordash problem then delete those apps because itās too easy to just summon whatever you want whenever you want, on a whim. Make it so if you want to get food you have to go out and work for it. Add friction to counterbalance your impulsive nature! And when you eat, eat mindfully and slowly.
Also if youāre regularly craving certain foods I hear that it can have something to do with nutritional imbalance so be mindful of thatā¦

genres: cyberpunk, Science fiction, action movie
When watching, you can notice a number of references (including to the works of Quentin Tarantino), but this doesnāt make the plot any less unique, quite the contrary, I would call Akudama Drive a fairly memorable anime with dynamic narration and animation. Violent and dark at times, but still worth watching and recommending. I can confidently say that this anime is one of my favourites āØāØ

Itās not about copying his exact routine.
You donāt have to clean public toilets or listen to cassette tapes. Thatās not the point.
The point is to find your own routine ā something simple that actually feels good to you. Even if it seems weird or āunproductiveā And just repeat it for a week or longer, if you want
This isnāt about being boring, itās about having something small and grounding in your day. Something that keeps you present. Maybe itās a glass of chia water in the morning and a walk to the store. Maybe itās making the same breakfast every day, or putting your phone away. Whatever it is ā if it makes you feel alive, itās worth it.
Iāve been living like this for more than a month now, just showing up for my own life (saying no to sugar also helps with that, ILL WRITE ABOUT THIS IN MY NEXT REC). And honestly, itās the thing that makes you feel like YOU CAN SURVIVE TODAY AND TOMORROW AND ANY OTHER DAY just because you have something familiar in your day ā YOUR ROUTINE!
When youāre doing these small things alone: no distractions, no noise ā something shifts. You start to feel more in tune with yourself. Youāre not driven by fear, or wants, or ambition (like you usually do). Youāre just there. And in that moment, you finally get the time to just think about yourself, your life !with no pressure! And that changes everything SO TRY THIS!!
