So I started cooking for myself.

My discovery is that restaurants are now a treat, something to look forward to and enjoy.  They had become a blah experience until I cut them off.

So, I’m enjoying eating out more and putting more money aside for things I like to do.

This is a specific example, but I believe it is a valid philosophical approach to life in general.  Fend for yourself, and you will be happier.

As long as it is tastes ok I’m not overly concerned. I used to use junk food as a crutch for depression and anxiety and this is going back to elementary school days. It’s a vicious cycle but I am finally learning to master the impulses and find other ways to defuse the down moments. MGTOW has been a big help without a doubt. I’ve dropped a ton of weight so far this year just by watching my calories and not eating junk food at all. I live the low carb lifestyle so avoiding sugar is a big part of that.

I used to eat hot wings at Applebee’s like they were going out of style, and buying beer to go along with it. Eventually I realized how much money I was p~~~ing away. I can cook so I just avoid restaurants when I can; especially given how much the prices have increased and the portions decreased. I’ve frequented Applebee’s at least a couple times a month for the past 7-8 years, even if I just buy an appetizer or what have you. I have seen first hand the progression towards smaller portions and the prices of some entrees that I would get semi-regularly going up a dollar or so every year or couple years.

Thankfully I have never been into going to coffee shops or buying any of those fancy overpriced drinks. Basic drip coffee works for me and it’s dirt cheap.
