Hey so I'm trying to fix my life and just... be better. Kind of like a new years resolution but not new years and hopefully to prevent medical things. Currently a skinnyfat vegetarian picky eater. Any suggestions

take it a step further and go vegan. but eat whole foods and not processed junk food. I mean it's okay once in a while but try cooking meals with actual food, not bagged/premade/frozen stuff.

eat healthy fats (avocados, nuts)

do your best to avoid junk food.

exercise a lot more.

I cannot currently go vegan because I live in a college dorm and the dining hall serves nearly no vegan options.

are there any kitchens you can use? do you have a stove available?

Thai cuisine has great sauces that are full of flavor and also Indian food both taste good especially if you re trying make big lasting meals and can afford bulk spices. Also run with weights?

I'm trying my best but we aren't even allowed to have a little stovetop single in our dorms. Only a microwave, NOT EVEN A TOASTER. I've basically been having lettuce cheese sandwiches with spinach when I have it.

get some canned beans and microwavable rice. get a wider variety of veggies that can be eaten raw.

celery,carrots,broccoli,cucumber

have salads. just dice up a bunch of fresh raw veggies and have a salad. use an olive oil,salt, and lemon juice mixture as a dressing.

don't forget fresh fruits.

TLDR the more natural colors you get in your meal, the better the mix of nutrients you get. you can use your microwave to steam vegetables in a sauce after slicing and dicing. Squash and rice in a creamy sauce is good source for protein since you're vegetarian

If you're suffering from depression, the book 'Feeling Good' by MD David Burns can help. It's about cognitive-behavioral therapy, a successful treatment for depression.

You can also try some St. John's Wort (it's a plant) tea for immediate relief (I mix mine with Melissa for the calming effect), see if it works for you. I'm currently trying it out myself, no opinion yet.

So go live off campus and when you have kids remember to not put them in a fucking dorm.

Burger college life is silly.
