Hi comrades, welcome to the Improvement Megathread! unity

I plan to post a new weekly megathread here every Sunday. I think Sunday is a good day to review the previous week and make some plans for the following week. If somebody else wants to post a new megathread anytime, just let me know.

Here are some ideas for discussion:

  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week?

Even if you did only 1 push-up, read 1 page, meditated for 1 minute, or touched 1 blade of grass, let us know about it. When it comes to making progress, everything counts. The most important thing is to make progress, no matter how small.

  • What would you like to do next week?
  • What aspect of life would you like to improve?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Of course, this is not a definitive list. And feel free to make a separate post in the comm for any of these topics. This is just a megathread for all the stuff that you want to share but don't feel like making a new post.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

    My first goal of the year has been to cut back on sugar consumption. I'm still at the stage of becoming aware how much sugar is in the stuff I normally eat and figuring out what I can cut out or replace. The easiest target so far is obviously cutting back on snacks, but it's also gonna be hard because I love my baked treats.

    Thanks again @moonlake@hexbear.net for linking me that sugar free reddit!

      I might try and tackle this too along with my attempting to finally stop drinking. I've been allowing myself sour skittles as a treat tho so idk how well I'll keep up with it.

          You too!

          I have already started talking about for now avoiding junk food through the week and then maybe do a Friday evening treat or something and then go from there. Trying to cold turkey both alcohol and sugar might be too much at the same time.
