So, I’ve been on the wagon for about 3 months now. And honestly, I’ve discovered my own cheat. I have bad impulse control and always have and I’ve lived long enough that I only have enough discipline and willpower to practice guitar and get up in the morning, as well as go for a workout. Other than that anything I want to change needs to be replaced with a different source of unearned dopamine. I figure it’s harm reduction.
As such I’ve just replaced the dopamine source high calorie foods served as with other unearned sources of dopamine. Some days it’s excessive cannabis use, some days I play video games. I also add dopamine to my weight loss goal - I’m an avid watch collector so I let myself buy a new watch every 10 lbs.
Call it unhealthy, call it whatever you want, but making myself obese is probably the single worst way to get that unearned dopamine so I’d say I’m doing better for myself. I’m down 15 lbs and I feel better every day.
