  • I have the opposite problem. I think about food nearly all the time. It’s what got me up to 295 lbs.

    I’m down to 260 today. Still got a long way to go, but I’m getting there. Getting medicated makes me feel so much more in control of my impulses. One of them being the impulse to eat all the time. Now, I don’t feel hungry nearly as often, and if I think about food, I consider whether I feel hungry, and if I don’t, I don’t eat.







  • If I don’t have a long enough stretch of time to do it all at once, I ain’t starting it.

    But seriously, getting medicated has done wonders for being able to start multi-day projects. I’m learning VBA right now because I want to automate some of my processes at work. I’m finally cool with starting something I can’t finish today. Generally, I want my code to do some fairly specific and complex things. So I’m happy to spend a few hours tweaking a block to make it do exactly what I want, and it feels so good when it works as expected. But before getting on meds? Nah, I wouldn’t even entertain the idea because I wouldn’t know where to start. Medicine helps me draw up an outline of what I want to do with my code, then achieve those tasks bit by bit.

    And that’s applied across everything I do. It’s okay to not finish today. But it’s important to start.
