Random encounter 91
marcorossi on April 14, 2025
So, late again. I went to a dietologist two weeks ago, and I had to change all my food-related daily routines; on the plus side, I'm already losing weight with very small effort, but on the other I now have to wake up 30 minutes earlier to “cook” (mostly microwave) every day, which makes me more tired in the night. Next week will be Easter so I'll skip that too, but then I'll have a few holydays so I'll try to pop out a pair of pages.

Interesting! Aaron seems to have grasped the situation and reacted more swiftly than Zhao.

He's at least good at something! Also Zhao is too squared to be good at lying.

It's nice to lose weight, but it's tough to make all those small changes until they become part of your normal routine. I've been working on that myself, so good luck. 🍀

Thanks!

They're just clueless enough that it might still work. On the more personal side, I'm feeling ya: I've been trying to exclude caffeine from my diet for the past week and that alone is kinda annoying, changing all the daily routines is probably way more sternous.

Well, I procrastinated going to the dietologist for almost one year, but now that I began it is much easier than what I expected, the main problem really is waking up early because I tend to go to bed very late. Goof luck with caffeine, that kind of thing is paradoxically harder than a big change because the temptation of just one more coffee is less obvious than the "I completely change what I should be eating for lunch". I've been a smoker for many years and tried to stop many times, but I always relapsed; until I got Covid, tried to smoke one and had the feeling of not being able to breathe for a few seconds - I actually tought I was going to die - so from that scare I stopped smoking. But this worked because the scare somewhat overwrote the psychological link between cigarettes and pleasure, without that I couldn't stop.

Who could have expected that such a carefully planned plan would fail because of an unexpected encounter!
