I saw this question recently and was really surprised at the answers.

Just finished reading Project Hail Mary. I haven't seen the movie yet.

Has anyone read the book? Seen the movie?

Any comments, observations, conversation about the science or mbti/enneagram of the characters? Or anything else that you want to talk about?

I'll leave my thoughts in the comments.

I've been struggling a lot with temptation. I finally got a good start on low carb for a week now. It's been really tough to get started and stick with it.

My work is mentally and sometimes emotionally draining. By the time I head home my willpower is very low, and I'm tired.

I'm on a strict diet for migraines,and unfortunately can't use sucralose and peanut butter. This really kills any opportunity to keep protein bars with me for a snack to ward off temptations.

Any tips to stay strong?

Currently I'm trying to remind myself that once I give in, it takes days to undo the carbs. And it's my health. I need to lose weight for my heart, knee, predia diabetes, etc.

One dude on FB mentioned learning to be ok with discomfort. It's really hard at 5:30 or 6pm when I gave everything I had at work and have nothing left.

I did get a McDonald's triple cheese burger the other day, plain, and tossed the buns. That was satisfying with an unsweet tea.

I dunno what helmet this is, but I need one asap. Lol
