People over 30, how are you taking care of yourselves? - Lemmy.World

Are you eating better? Sleeping better? Getting in shape?

Almost 31. I don’t drink sugar anymore. I still eat fast food constantly and vape THC on the daily. I have a therapist now, though, and sometimes exercise.

I struggled to gain weight for most of my life, but I finally managed to put on some muscle via figuring out that I need to eat a ton of food alongside activity. Doing woodworking, drumming, and general housework has been enough exercise to keep me from getting fat and actually have an okay physique.

Mental health is in the shitter, but I’m working on it.

So I think I’m doing about as well as everyone else my age.

I still eat fast food constantly

Which fastfood?

Like McDonalds?

I feel like fastfood quality of taste went downhill… maybe its just my area… 🤷‍♂️ (that’s on top of the related health issues)

Just about all of it. I drive around all day for work, so it’s the only convenient and cheap way to get a hot lunch. I bring my lunch sometimes, but not as often as I should.

I’m also pretty tired after work and all out of executive function, so i don’t make dinner as often as I should, since other things get prioritized. Will hopefully be moving to a place with a dish washer soon, which will hopefully help me stop avoiding cooking so often.

Quality has gone down for some items and locations, up for others, imo. Prices all suck, but so do grocery prices at this point. You can still get a meal pretty cheap if you are willing to just eat whatever is on promo.

Which do you like?

I kinda like the Bacon Cheeseburger at Five Guys

Idk about “cheap” tho…

Five guys is good, but it’s insanely expensive for what it is. I feel like you get an equally good burger for a more reasonable price at Whataburger.

Braums does a good job with chicken strips and cherry limeade.

Taco Bell’s boxes are the only thing approaching a decent value at this point, and they change them decently often.

I try to eat local if possible, though.
