The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
As for food waste, just decrease portions? Also I'm interested, does Switzerland have very strict norms regarding this type of medication, such that you don't think you'll be given a prescription?
I think it does have strict norms, and certainly my BMI wouldn't qualify.
Basically what happens is, we go shopping, we buy some stuff, I buy some stuff, my wife buys some stuff. I do most of the cooking, and I remember the use-by dates of most of the food. Leftovers go into the fridge. I prioritise what I eat by what needs to go; she prioritises what she eats by what she feels like. I'm often finishing off food she bought but doesn't feel like eating; or leftovers that she swears she liked but apparently doesn't feel like eating again.
Perhaps it would be sensible to only buy enough food for the one meal, rather than having leftovers. Not sure what I would take to work for lunch though.
... would you say you're from the German part of Switzerland by chance?
I wouldn't say I'm from there, but I live there, yes.
