How did yesterday go?

Pretty good. I was off work early.

I got a massage, and then Went store walking at Homegoods and Sierra. I am back to playing Pokemon. I used to play from 2016-2018... and quit when I ran into my cheating then wife and her new girlfriend.

I used to play daily and I really enjoyed it. I was able to recover my account.

So what is the point of that? Having something to do that is mentally involving without being stressful, and encourages walking.

So we will see if it helps me bahaha

I invited my girl out for dinner when I got hungry and was still in town at 5 pm.

She was not interested. I realized I still had errands to do- pharmacy and Walmart. So I went and got in line at CVS. I did have a protein bar in my car. I shouldn't have tho, it was too cold to be good.

I didn't actually get home til 7. I had my leftover cottage pie. Then finished a bag of skinny pop- 1 bowl. 2 spoons of halotop and about 1/4 of artic zero.

I got overtired and realized walmart left something out of my order so I had to contact them. The urge to eat hit and I went for some sugar free chocolate covered pecans.

I had the thought oh I just can't stop eating. And then I thought- that is fucking bullshit. You are eating because you are overtired and you and choosing to.

And I was able to stop.

That was a huge win.

Huge win. Here is to 179, 169, 159 and goal.

"Asking 'Who is the villain?' is the prologue to asking who should be punished. But asking 'What are the conditions that led to this?' leads us to consider how to change those conditions so that the situation is less likely to happen again.

Reframing things in this way is a type of analysis known as dependent origination. Though this term has far-reaching and often abstract implications in Buddhist thought, it simply means that everything arises on the basis of multiple factors, and if we want to discourage something from happening again we have to address the factors underlying it. If our goal is to judge and punish, we will need to determine guilt, which becomes more difficult as we consider more causes. But if our goal is to gain a better understanding, then the fact that there are many factors is not a problem."

HOW TO OVERCOME OUR RESISTANCE TO CHANGE

It is helpful to simplify the brain into two distinct entities: the conscious (prefrontal cortex) and the subconscious (basal ganglia). The former is our Rider, and the latter is our Elephant. The Rider wants us to develop good habits. The rest of the brain is satisfied with things the way they are and doesn’t see a need to change. It likes its routines and the rewards associated with them. The…
