Been planning it for a while. Really mental power. Knowing and realising how they affect you and hold you back from improving.
Slowly less contact and creating distance and separation. Didn't engage with them, showed disinterest and occupied self with different activies.
Then moved on to Block on any social media etc.
Did have to say bye to quite a few mutual friends otherwise wouldn't have been much point for me.
Drat, can't rep you again :frown: Thanks for typing that out, it's quite helpful to see things like that written out in black and white, if you get what I mean :redface: Sorry you've had to say goodbye to mutual friends etc :frown:

No problem. It's not about the reps anyway. Though i get the annoyance when you want to rep someone and can't. Tried to rep you :frown:
Yeah. I get what you mean.
Me too. Fewer friends but better off that way :smile:


Thank you :colondollar:

Had its downs but not focusing on them -hence the worry doc

No clue how to make parathas :dontknow: just buy them frozen :tongue:
Need chapattis to survive -what else can I eat with Indian curries :question: don't say rice, don't say rice :lol:
Subscribing! :h:
It's so great to cut toxic people out of your life! I did that over the course of last year and now I feel so free :biggrin:
Worry doc is a very good idea. Maybe I should start something similar...

Oh gosh, I don't MAKE parathas! Making them would be serious effort, I imagine :headfire: I used to buy them frozen too! (Used to because they're now banned from our household for being too unhealthy :cry: )

I don't like rice either tbh :nope: I quite like pol rotti (coconut rotti. I'm Sri Lankan) - you could try that? Not sure how much effort that is to make though. My cooking skills are seriously lacking :sad:

Its worth a try. Just don't read the worries after and don't bother about it making sense. That's what I do anyway.

Agreed. They are seriously unhealthy. Something to be had sparingly.

Coconut roti? Sounds cool. I'm Indian. I think any type of roti takes effort at first :biggrin:
Yeah, they def weren't had sparingly when I was at uni :getmecoat: Hence why they're now banned from the household (I lived away for uni) :colondollar:

Roti probs is mega-effort. I prefer to just eat it without making it :ahee:

:rofl: everyone goes through the eating unhealthy stage -
*many people :colondollar:

It's not too much effort when you've made it a habit -for me though it's comparable to learning to drive :biggrin: I'm slow learner
So who makes it for you Or is it not a necessity with the foods you eat...?
