Are you eating better? Sleeping better? Getting in shape?
I eat better (when I had money). No fast food, I only drink alcohol every couple of months, and avoid harmful drugs. Going to bed early I see it as a luxury. I walk instead of driving. My go to beverages are ice water, cold brew black coffee, and occasionally soy milk.
I’m fucking miserable.
Sounds nice, except for the being miserable part.
I’m fucking miserable.
That’s the soy milk. Replace it out with uh… Diet coke 😁
Hope you feel better, though.
Why are you miserable?
I don’t have either the time or the money anymore to eat properly.
I hit rock bottom, gave up drinking, went to therapy, found a new job that I don’t hate, gave up weed, found a partner, got asked if I wanted to go on a hiking holiday with her, said yes, panicked because I was totally out of shape, bought a bike, got in shape and enjoyed it, got married, have a kid on the way. Life’s good.
Haha, good one
Mid 30s.
Work, sleep, work, sleep, energy drink, work, sleep, energy drink, work, sleep, energy drink, work half a shift, 2nd energy drink, with 2nd half of shift, fucking crash into a vegetative state for a weekend.
Typical week.
Not doing great. >_>
I use weed to cope with existential crisis and sociopolitical turmoil. Oh you mean physically? Heh… Heh…
Real answer: I walk a lot, I’m grateful to live in a walkable city

Same dude. Same.
I also walk a lot as a form of exercise. I love eating an edible and then going to wander around. The edible hits mid walk and it’s awesome.
100%, I do the same while listening to music. On the best days, I’ll lose all sense of time until I find myself on the other side of town.
I discover the best places that way, and I always pin them for next time I’m around. If I pass by an interesting looking place but don’t go in, I’ll mark it with a question mark in a list called “Sidequests”
I love wandering aimlessly around town. So many cool places to see.
Sometimes I’ll play a mobile game called Orna while I walk. It helps me get further out as I chase down monsters and loot.
Go team stoned walkers!
This is my go to as well. Add in some music or audiobook and stroll all over town. Come back home and sleep like a baby. It’s a great combo and makes you feel good about getting that exercise in.
Yep! It’s great and feels great. Go team stoned walkers!
Strange, I have weed stashed with me and two joints I rolled two months ago but haven’t been touched yet. Just never get in the mood.
Lol.
Lmao, even.
Laughing is very healthy. You’re doing great!
Over 70. Exercise every day. Eat a variety of foods. Limit screen time.
Quit reddit and twitter.
Quiting Facebook was a huge improvement in my life
Learned a lot about health and fitness in my early 30s, made it my hobby essentially. But things change so also learned that it’s not about what I did today or even this month, it’s about what I mostly do and getting back to it. Kids come along, house moves, job moves, disruption after disruption… Gotta lose the self blame and get back up every time. That is for sure an equally important thing to learn.
Just bought a new mattress so hopefully sleeping better soon
Yas!!! I was having back problems, told myself “Well old chap, your back is ageing now innit?” Turns out I had a mattress problem. Make sure you get a good frame too.
I stopped drinking alcohol.
I strongly reduced my consumption after my first kid was born and just drank less and less.
Initially I reduced my consumption because being hangover while taking care of a crying baby SUCKS! Then the less I drank the more I realized the impact of even a glass of wine to my mood and energy level.
I’m not really tbh.
When I want ice cream… I eat ice cream.
Im not… That’s the retirement plan.
I am not smug about it but I’ve been taking better care of myself for around 10 years and it’s grrrreat.
The healthy people were right.
I saw some photos of myself dancing at a friends wedding and did NOT LIKE what I saw. Pure vanity.
I got a personal trainer and set some very silly stunt goals - I knew I didn’t want to focus on how I look, but focus on being the kind of person who could do interesting things and that would have a side effect that looked good. It worked! Plus I learned how to do cool things with my body.
Sometimes being hungover or eating huge meals interfered with my quest to do a pistol squat or a one arm push up or run a race. So I moderated that and hit my goals.
Now my baseline is fairly healthy. So when I go out until 4 with people my body is able to handle it better. I still pay, but I understand the trade off and it isn’t something that happens to me it’s something I chose.
Therapy came in when I was extremely stressed. I avoided it for so long and it was dumb. It’s good to talk to people about your life and challenges. Coaches help players.
My sleep used to be very bad. But I want to do a one arm pull up this year. My body needs rest to get strong enough. So I gotta plan to sleep! I have to give up some other choices to get what I want.
