Starting Over: Day Three

If am to be successful, I need to figure out how to deal with stress, anger, rage, and general grumpiness without eating a large bag of potato chips.

I don't wanna talk about it.

A good day three, Joel! I end up with "second breakfast" myself sometimes, too. But breakfast would also be a good place for the one thing you're missing: fruit. It will help fill you up, and it's good for you. You could also add veggies to the chicken & rice (broccoli is always good).

As for the chips: I crave salty stuff a lot, too. Eventually, you want to bring that to a minimum, but for now, focus on finding non-fried salty/savory munchies -- I like high-fiber baked crackers with low-fat dip, but anything with crunch & salt will satisfy 70% of that chip craving.

You're doing great, Joel. Every healthy choice you make is a step in the right direction. Focus on that, rather than the "ooooooh noes", and you'll be all right.

Nothing good comes ever from this kind of talk. MAGA is going to end the American age, and it's possible that will turn out for the best...
