  • I’m so curious why you don’t have a fridge, too. College dorm? And I’m jealous bc salads near me are $12+! Anyway one year I had a fridge at work. I had an insulated grocery bag & I would put food to assemble salads & wraps (plus some seltzer’s) for the week. Kept a cutting board & knife in a sheath in there too. It worked…

  • Hello, teacher here! Socially distant hugs! I’ve had to dive into remote teaching kindergarten and that’s taken a lot of my attention! So be kind to yourself in this new world. I’m super struggling to “get out and exercise every day!” So I set a realistic goal of 1-2x/wk. I know it’s not perfect or how I want to be, but…

  • I feel like Tiffany a lot- too depressed to move & dont. Especially during covid quarantine. (I am in a very hard hit city). When it’s not quarantine I go to a personal trainer 1-2x /week. You can’t cancel last minute so it forces me to go. In covid times I’m forcing myself to take walks/do 20 minute restorative yoga. This…

  • I use an app called “calm harm”. I think it’s mean for self injurious folks, but find the different strategies you can do (like distract yourself) helpful when I want to eat & know it’s emotional, not hunger based. There’s a journal feature too & over time it helped me see my triggers are loneliness in the evening. Best of…

  • Hi Flynn, Boston. Yep, gyms & yoga studios closed. Restaurants doing take out but no seating or lines more than 10 people. Grocery stores have shorter hours & special early AM hours for seniors. People are out walking, but need to stay 6’ apart, so that’s a challenge.

  • TY Brittany. Social distancing is mandatory, thanks for the distraction tip. I will make a schedule for eating at home, too, since I’m now going to be working from home & wont have work as a distraction

  • Sorry to hear about your legs! Maybe pilates reformer, massage, will help

  • Sorry that you are driving to the gym & not going in! Is your internal monologue telling you you HAVE to work out ? Or something else negative? Can you reframe the thought to reminding yourself you’ll feel better afterwards? And like the other poster said, just commit to 10 minutes?

  • Hi WW13, yes, I use NS as you describe when I need support for meal prep. I mean is it so delish I just can’t wait and go running home to indulge? No. Some of the meals are terrible. But some are good enough when I really need that help and keep me heading towards different habits. As someone else said, I also looked at…
