I am….making slight improvement with this. It’s slightly harder for me now because I’m in a country where I don’t speak the language. But I’ve met a few people through my language class and I make it a point to ask the few people I do know here to do things once in a while.

I think the key for me is to be involved in more group activities; ie. a sport, martial art, volunteer situation, etc. Once I’m physically around people or forced to interact with them, well…they often try to be-friend me. I still have NO clue how to go about being the be-friender. Still the passive party here!

A year later…this is still something I struggle with. Not to sound R-17, but I always have to have something in my mouth. :/

Even when I eat a big meal I’m still thinking about what I’ll have for a snack later. Grazing is definitely the downfall of any attempt I make at controlling my calories. My only saving grace is that my snacks are healthy 95% of the time. Nuts, dried fish, fruit, whole grains, dairy. Calorie dense…but healthy. Ehhhh, what can you do.

I think, honestly, this is something that’ll change when I’ve address some emotional issues in my life. It’s a symptom, not a cause.

Yeah…a year later and I still haven’t made any progress with this. It’s something I do without thinking about it and I’m not sure that it’ll ever change.
