No, I actually like cooking but I have a problem with having enough energy. I also wake up by 5 am every day and I’m just tired after work. I meal prep so I have something good available and don’t have to think and act when I’m tired. I also have an issue with overeating more and eating more junk food when I’m tired so it helps with that.

I guess I also don’t want to have to plan and deal with making 5 to 7 separate meals every week, planning all that, buying that many groceries. I only cook for myself so that seems really like an excessive amount of shopping and cooking and things to buy when I can do it once and be done.

Edit: you know what I absolutely loathe though is cleaning and doing dishes and that’s high on the list of reasons not to cook every day. The cooking is nice but nothing that goes along with it is.

Oh, ya know, it’s just an ugly rumor I heard.

So actually I meal prep on Sunday morning and eat the same thing M-F which I’m ok with but 5 days is my limit and I don’t think the food would still be good by the next Saturday and Sunday anyway. But maybe you’re on to something and even though I think I’m ok with the same dinner every day, maybe I need to make like 4 days worth of food then do a quick and easy 3 day meal prep on Thursday to switch it up. Maybe it’s at least partially a psychological thing that I wasn’t even aware was happening.

I’m liking the idea of freezing more healthy junk food. Maybe that would help you cut back on eating out too.

Yeah I ate Wendy’s the other day and my stomach actually hurt and I was really questioning my life choices lol

I’ll Google it but is that an actual product? This isn’t just a Soylent Green is people joke?

I never thought of freezing pasta sauce in cubes but that’s pretty brilliant.

It’s usually 2 or 3 meals on the plate!

That’s such a wonderful sentiment. Thank you for that!

Wait do you did keto for 8 years? I can’t even fathom the willpower that must have taken. I’ve tried intuitive eating in the past and I don’t tend to have a great time with mindfulness and impulse control but I really should incorporate at least some aspects of it because I definitely have had my moments where I sat there asking myself why I was eating when I wasn’t hungry… then took another bite.

I don’t think the meditation is going to work for me but I really need to figure out some healthy junk food like you suggested! I have a bunch of premade quesadillas in the freezer but with all that cheese they’re not too healthy, and I cook them with butter so that isn’t great either.

Idk if you ever read various subreddits or forums about relationships etc but it seems very common now for really nice guys to just out of the blue turn into a woman hating monster and their partners are shocked and appalled because it seems out of character for that person. Social media is really pushing that red pill stuff, and coupled with these types of legal changes, it creates a very dangerous environment for a lot of people to be in.

I’m pretty sure that Business Insider is known to not be a very legitimate news source. Whether they run conservative, liberal or other, I don’t know because I don’t normally read it. I appreciate that you posted the link with a very well thought out and rational commentary. I am only commenting to state my opinion that it is probably best for anyone viewing Business Insider links with a grain of salt as you have done since they might not be impartial.

Yikes. I’m really tired of politics and yet the second we let our guard down it’s going to get way worse…

I have 2 cats… They live inside and seem happy to me. My sister used to let her cats out and was calling my boyfriend near daily to come deal with some small animal they had killed. One day it was a bunny. We have 3 pet bunnies, also indoors, also seemingly happy. That frickin upset him so much so that was the end of it. I told her he couldn’t clean up any more dead animals for her and she would need to keep them inside or handle it herself. She has had them indoors now for over a year and it was a tough transition but they seem fine now.

It’s only really useful for aggregation of PSAs (in my opinion) and I don’t need to be on one of those sites since if it’s important enough someone will repost the tweet to a platform I use, or it will get reposted in a “news” article. In other news though, I also find it horribly annoying when I click on a news article to discover that it’s just screenshots of a bunch of tweets.

I think I may be confused. I thought threads did federate. Was I mistaken?
