Eating Slim Jims.
How many Slim Jims are you eating, and why do you want to stop?
Buying tiny thinkcentres like the m710q.
It's the best ever bang for the buck for almost anything except gaming. IMO of course.
Two DDR4 slots, an ssd Plus a 2.5drive.
Mint runs perfektly.
USB 3, some 6 of them IIRC.
Super silent.
You can get one for like 40€ or the double for a quad core.
Plug in two screens and just hack away.

Working.
I want to stop eating food that is making me overweight.
My friend has a history of overeating and was about 70 lbs heavier than she is now. She started a keto diet that helped her get to her current weight/size, and now employs a modified diet where she goes keto regularly rather than stay on a strict diet all the time. It seems to work well for her since she can regularly eat whatever she wants between breaks. If you're interested, I could ask her for online resources. Let me know 🙂👍
Than you kind stranger. I am actually doing modified keto now with no salt. Thanks again!
You're welcome, and good luck 😊
Have you tried healthy alternatives tho? While i was never overweight, like most people i did enjoy unhealthy food way more than healthy food. But after a lot of trying, i get as excited for roasted Brussel sprouts and asparagus as i was for deep fried bullshit. There is a lot of food that isn't as boring as it seems and it's also healthy.
I started counting calories. And it's works pretty well. Maybe give it a try.
Yup doing that as well as personal trainer. The cravings and eating out are what kill me. So I started eating out once a month and making my own lower cal pizza.
Being angry at the world.
That's a tough one. Sorry for whatever strated you down that path It can be mentally exhausting and isolating. I hope you figure a way out of it.
Worrying. Anxiety sucks..
I want to stop being a perfectionist. I tend to overthink very simple tasks, trying to make sure I do things in the most efficient manner. Agonize over mistakes. I find it funny that I'm so critical of myself but I would never think to apply that to other people. I'm working on it, it's just very difficult
"Perfectionism is shame leaving the body." - The Daily Llama
But seriously, I think the majority of perfectionism is rooted in childhood shame. That comes from family that was overly critical, so we attempted to address it by being perfect. Maybe try messing things up in a safe manner on purpose to behaviorally teach yourself that it's okay to make mistakes.
Hating the state of the union.
Vaping nicotine. I know I can stop but it’s just a very difficult challenge for me. Still better than smoking cigs but I really need to let this vice go.
When I quit smoking I holed myself up in a dark room with provisions to last a week. It was hell but it worked.
Check out Allan Carr Easy Way. It really really really works
That’s the plan! I read it originally to quit cigs but ended up picking up the vapes.
I quit 3.5 years ago using that book and have had 0 cravings since.
Being obsessed about having the biggest positive impact on the world.
