I alternate between taking a walk with a podcast or audible, reading a book, or scrolling reddit depending on weather/mood.
For reddit I have a custom feed I made of non food subs. Honestly it’s mostly kittens, puppies, and memes.
Maybe get a meditation app like headspace, go to your car to get away from the classroom, do a 5 minute guided meditation in your car and then tilt the seat back and do a 15 minute power nap? A little meditation and power nap is massively helpful for me to clear my head and recharge for the afternoon.
I’m currently doing OMAD and I prefer to eat at lunch instead of dinner. That way, I’m awake and get to use my calories to be productive at work instead of having energy right before bed. I still hang out with my family and drink herbal tea at the table during dinner. I know everyone’s different, but just an idea.
I’m currently practicing OMAD. I have an hour lunch break. That’s usually when I plan dinner. If I need to run to the grocery store for items, I do it at that time. If I don’t need anything, I binge YouTube videos. It’s nice to have a cup of tea while watching. I also have days when I’m super-focused and don’t want to break concentration. So, I work through lunch. If you have small work-related things, that don’t take much effort (but, will help your days run smoother), do it during lunch.
I drive five minutes to a State Park then walk ten minutes to a lake. I either walk 1km around the lake or go for a swim, depending on the weather, then go back. Exercise suppresses your appetite so any exercise will be beneficial. Then eat your meal early evening.
I love doing something for myself to help recharge that emotional spot food used to fill. Examples are taking a walk, just throwing on headphones and jamming out, reading a book, spacing out for 30 minutes, journaling, etc.
Find something that fills your soul instead of food and DO THAT. You’ve got this.
OMAD is working for me, I have different teas at different times during the day. Coffee and green tea in the morning. Hibiscus tea for lunch. Water with lemon slice throughout. Chamomile after my OMAD dinner.
