I’ll admit my diet is still absolute shit and something I totally need to work on
I encourage you to start there.
And I further encourage you to start this Monday.
Monday, February the 26th.
It is very difficult to be productive, or to gain confidence when talking with women, or to be less depressed, when your diet is poor. It's difficult because no matter what you do, the very body you live in is full of bad shit that automatically increases anxiety, makes you sluggish, and so, so much more. A lot of people don't realize how much food effects them until after they get healthy.
I do warn you that it is not easy. Your daily routine may currently be based around getting certain sugar fixes, and because this is what your body is used to, it's going to be the fucking devil trying to keep you consuming bad food. Like literally you may go through drug-addict like withdrawals.
So start by googling foods that make you feel how you want to feel.
"Foods that make you less stressed."
"Foods that make you more productive."
"Foods that make you happy."
Build a list that suits you.
But be a fucking psychopath about how healthy you're going to get.
Sunday night throw out all your bad shit.
On Monday go to the grocery store and buy all the healthy food.
Try one day eating only healthy food, prepared for the moments where you'd normally eat bad stuff, like maybe while watching a movie.
If you can get through one healthy day, then try 2, then a full week. Just know that the positive effects aren't immediate. You may even feel worse at first due to your body having to adjust. But keep at it.
This is an action you can take right away.
It isn't a solution to all your problems, but it's a starting point, which is sometimes all we need to get the ball rolling.
This Monday, dude. I really encourage you to give it a try.
