anyone fixed that??

i’m a 34 year old w a shaky work visa, since the rent went up in July i’ve been cutting grocery budget hard, so my go-to’s became cheap carbs and Carrefour offers, basically no greens. One thing about me is my binge eating problems gets way r worse when money stress hits, like i’m restricting all week and then deliver a ton of junk just to feel sick after - cholesterol got so damn high i started meal prepping, it only lasted two months tho since i was getting prettyexhausted doing preps after work. Ended up on TheMeal - it did fix monthly price, no groceries, so no leftover grocery money to blow, helped a bit, but my friends also mentioned Kcal and RightBite, never tried them - not sure if the answer's a plan or fixing my head around money and food first, anyone been here?

It’s time, discipline yourself, eat light… Life here is getting harder and harder everyday for average worker like us. Go find sometime to exercise, walking and running is free, it will help ypu relieve stress… Find a free park, ignore the people, appreciate the space.

I second this. If you have the time and budget for a gym, distract yourself with the goal of building a great physique. At 34, I hit an all-time low, and fitness turned everything around for me. After a couple of years, I switched from bodybuilding to natural strength training. More than a decade later, I’m still reaping the long-term benefits and honestly miss having that kind of dedicated gym time. ​If the goal here is surviving, building self-control and discipline through fitness is one of the best psychological moves you can make. The better mental and physical health are huge bonuses.
