i came to say that xD ty!

tysm! I think you got it right, it’s actually the key, forming a long term habit

slow and steady progress. that makes it also way more probable that i don’t fall back into the old habits of eating junk randomly or increase the portion sizes when reach my target weight!

dude that’s awesome! thank you for your detailed explanations, we have a very similar way of approaching things. I also love the idea of keeping your mind busy with something creative, it’s also making your life so much more interesting than being a spectator in front of a TV, a computer or a smartphone screen.

proud of you man :D

I’ve picked up sewing (making a fursuit right now, it’s a project that will take me a full year), it’s very soothing and i can do it while speaking with my friends in voice chat, i even put the camera on so they can see what i do, it’s actually great to upkeep my friendships :D

i lost 20 lbs since the start of the year, and food-wise i did three things:

• no snacking, i stick to 3 meals: a small breakfast (i work at the computer so i don’t need heaps of food in the morning), hot cooked dish for lunch, and small dinner (a few slices of bread with ham/cheese…) and eat SLOWLY, lots of chewing, it helps limiting the intakes.
• no sugary or sugar-free beverages: even with aspartam/acesulfam-K/stevia (etc) your body generates insulin to process what is perceived as sugar, this lowers your blood sugar and induces cravings. I drink water, unsweetened black coffee and unsweetened tea, that’s it, no exceptions.
• i stopped feeling obligated to empty the plate, and never take a refill. whenever i feel full, my leftovers go into the fridge, nothing is thrown away.

very nice! and you can vary your dishes quite simply, use the burrito filling as a topping on pasta or rice instead of rolling into a tortilla

very good, and with potatoes and pasta you can take all the remaining pasta and sauce, throw them into a baking form, add a few vegs if you have, grate cheese on top, and tada, new dish :)

yeah, i used to do that but i’m currently on a diet to lose 60 pounds so i’ve stop refilling my plate

that’s why you cook the whole bag of pasta and put the rest in the fridge for the next day, make 1kg of beef for gulash or bolognaise… make at least twice the amount to have something to reheat. You can also put in zip bags and freeze if you want to have more days between eating the same thing

It’s more a feud between the founder of Organics Maps and people from the FOSS community, with the apparent inclusion of proprietary code into Organic Maps, and issues regarding to the governance of the project. Here’s an article from someone who will be better at explaining all this: https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/ :)

maps[dot]me was great at the beginning, but they went hard on monetizing lots of stuff and have become unreliable/actively bad

there’s a fork named Organic Maps, but the people who lead that project are unwilling to cooperate with the open source community, even though the project should be FOSS

so now there’s a new fork called Co-Maps which tries to live by the principles of free open source software and that’s what i’m using currently: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CoMaps

i spent my summer last year filling all the street names on a caribbean island i was going on holiday in december, so i could use Co-Maps offline during my trip (aka Maps.me and Organic Maps before enshitification)

osm is the best!

technically i could skip it too, but it’s just 2 colleagues in my team and i like them a lot, we also hang out together privately, so it doesn’t feel like a chore

haha it’s dangerous to get too comfortable ^_
