How to fight carby cravings

I'm focusing on losing weight though I just got a scale and found I was a few pounds less than I was last time I weighed myself. Yesterday I binged on high calorie high carb foods and am up in weight today. So today I'm focusing on sticking to a lower calorie intake overall as I have been doing.

I have been doing a lot better on not getting fast food simply because I don't want to fit it in my expenses anymore.

How do I keep myself from wanting carbs though? Is there a vitamin or mineral that helps this?

Social meetup groups on Sundays that are not church

Last week I saw a coffee group at Voodoo Cafe but was not able to go. I know there is a run group on Sundays but am not at that level yet. Are there any other social groups in Memphis on Sundays by chance?

Besan bread fail

So a few days ago someone posted about their besan bread. Immediately I sought out how to make it. Here it is. Not sure why it crisped up on the bottom and stayed a custard like consistency on top. Though I might be able to make a vegan custard with besan. I'll have to research this.

I know in the past I used some regular flour with besan and some spices and fried up some very tasty savory pancakes.

Spaghetti, no butter, no cheese 💪🏽

The most questionable vegan thing in this is the less than 1% sugar ingredient listed on the jarred sauce I used. Will get better as I get higher paying jobs.

BBQ corpse of a woman

Last night I dreamed I saw a corpse of a woman that had been BBQ and deep fried. Seemed her body had crisp to it. Why would I have such a dream. I remember she had been taken to a house across from where I was. She had two slits in her neck.

Everyday a struggle?

Does anyone else feel everyday is a struggle for them?

Since I'm in the process of having to fully support myself I'm terrorized about what happened if I lose my job then what. I have no safety net. Currently I'm staying with friends and driving about 45 minutes to work. Though a week or so ago my friend gave me a heads up that she may not stay with her boyfriend and he is the one who owns the house where I'm staying because of her.

I don't like the length of drive. I am scared to move out but if I can make it work it would be a more stable. I really think I need to get back with my therapist but then this is another expense ($140). I tried the teletherapist and felt she was laughing at inopportune times.

If I had my father alive I would go to him and ask him how to survive but he's dead. Are there any resources on getting an adopted father? I know it won't be the same but maybe it would help.

I am currently taking meds and have a medical prescriber. I also know if I got a better paying job maybe there would be less stress. Maybe all this is under the term adulting. How do you guys cope with everything?

And yes I know it could be worse and it has been worse. I've been in jail, then unemployed, then working a part time job. So I guess there is some progression but how do I move past being scared to live?

How to lose weight when depressed

Hello so I'm going through the worst depressive episode I have ever gone through. I'm scared to outside in the heat, I'm scared to spend money, I don't have my own place or my own kitchen to cool freely that would help me lose weight. I hope to get my own place in a few weeks. What should I do in the meantime to hopefully start losing weight?
