    Everytime I get a meal with vegetables I eat that first no matter what else is on the plate. I think of it working my way to the best part of the meal

    I say the opposite: fries get cold too fast, they SHOULD be eaten before you get home.

    Make and bring my lunch to work every day. It takes planning and discipline, but over a year, saves me about $12/day, or $3,130 a year.

    Dragging myself out of my house to deal with this maddening existence called life, despite every fiber of my being telling me to stay home and avoid all you annoying flesh-bags that just do everything you can to irritate me.

    That and I read daily.

      Flossing! I floss frequently. I floss more than I brush my teeth (yuck) but it works. Logic behind the lack of brushing is that in the morning I’m drinking coffee and running out the door. At night, sometimes I fall asleep before I brush. But I have floss on my desk at work and in my coffee table at home (as well as obviously in the bathroom with my toothbrush). My dentist can’t even tell I miss brushing at times. But can definitely tell I floss regularly.

      You don’t have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep.

      The best (IMO) fast food place by me isn’t exactly close. By the time I get home I have to nuke fries and burger. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Still didn’t have to cook or do dishes!

    Meal prepping my lunch and breakfast for the week. Makes it so I don’t eat junk food or if I do it’s rationed in such away it’s premeasered. But chicken and salads everyday this way and I mix up my proteins. Leftover steak go great with A1 sauce. Pulled pork with BBQ sauce on a salad to die for.

    Just easy for me to pull it out and now exactly what I am eating

      Any tips on how to avoid salad getting soggy? I have to meal prep most of my food and soggy veggies are my nemesis.

        Put the dressing in another jar. I use small mason jars. I have some glass Pyrex with a snug lid I just pour the dressing on at lunch time and then shake the shit out of it

    Probably exercise. Lifelong habit of exercise. Different sorts at different times but never nothing, always something on purpose to strengthen & keep flexible, most days of the week.

    Night cream and sunscreen since my early 20s too, I do not look how I expected to at this age, nice surprise that was.

    What is good about not eating the fries until you get home? Did you think the benefits would be self-evident to everyone?
