"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

i respect you all greatly and i need your advice. I think I have a serious problem with my diet, not that its bad, I just have a problem with cheating.

my current daily diet consists of:

5:50: I get up at this time and have one orange (a small piece of fruit basically, and do 35 minutes of steady cardio on a stationary bike.
7:00: Chicken and vegetables
8:45: apple when I get to school
11:20: Tuna in pitta bread
1:00: I take in beef and veggies in a tupperware container
4:00: cottage cheese when I get home, an hour before I go in the gym
7:00: Chicken and vegetables again

I'm quite happy with this diet, but it'll get to friday, and at the start of the week I'll have been fully motivated to get the best body I can, but, slowly through the course of the week, my motivation will get lower and lower, and I end up thinking about the junk food, and inevitably I cheat on a saturday big time and on sunday im motivated to begin again and the process continues.

I need to stop and I was wondering if any of you have and good advice on how I could avoid the temptation of junk food successfully.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Maybe have that chicken fried sometimes?

For me, I find it easier to stay away from total junk when I put some variety into my diet. Beef and veggies for lunch one day, a burger with lettuce and tomato the next, spaghetti with meatballs the next, steak and salad . . . just take the same basic food groups, but in a variety of forms.

if you plan for those cheat meals it's not necessarily a big deal.

A low carb approach can stave off hunger quite a bit.

However if you mean you have a psychological craving for junk food just do what Throttle says and that should work.
