/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I'm going to echo a few others suggesting apps that help you log what you eat. Even in the absence of a goal, I found that making sure I was only eating consciously, and only when I was actually hungry (as in, not eating just because it's time to eat) helped immensely.
Yes, it boils down to self control, but think of intake tracking as exercise. The more you do it, the easier it gets, and the whole point is just to build momentum so that it becomes routine.
There's no magic bullet, but I lost about 40lbs in a year just telling myself things like "Fuck, I mindlessly opened another bag of Doritos, I DO NOT have to finish this" before I even started researching food intake apps.
Having an underlying cause (medication, stress, etc) will make this exceptionally hard ( I struggled for decades ) but every single time you stop yourself is progress. Failing to stop is NOT backsliding, it's just your normal, and you have to think of every day you manage to lower your intake as another step toward a new normal.
I hit a wall that only exercise can solve, which is what I'm doing now, and it's not easy, or consistent, but I know every 5 minutes I spend running, or lifting, or whatever is 5 minutes I didn't spend on my ass, and that's good enough for me.
