None of the social media stuff matters. You don't lose weight to get the approval from others, you do it to make yourself feel better and get into a healthier position. So any progress is good and worthy of enjoying. Forget about the pacing and actions of others.

It was just one of those days I got sucked into it and realized what a wasted time it was. I snapped out of it and realized, my life is not that bad haha. I just need to focus on the remaining days and consistently do the habit that I have right now.
These days I have next to zero presence on social media. I barely even open discord at this point. Something like Instagram feels like an even greater waste of time given it's just an algorithm manipulating your emotions and stealing all of your time. It is a genuine case of brain rot. So many others things you could be doing, yet instead that time is spent watching clips of literally nothing.
I can see how instagram is definitely a waste of time. It's like you're watching life passes you by rather than actually living it. When you do something fun IRL, all these internet clout chasing became so meaningless.
One of the weirdest things for me these days is getting on a bus. You see EVERYONE glued to their phones. All browsing through reels. Just total silence aside from the few that don't wear headphones.
I'm at this point where I just have zero interest in any of it. I can't even find much enjoyment in music if I'm outside as even that feels like a desperate attempt for escapism. So I'm just sitting there looking around, out the window and observing things. And it feels strange, so weird to see so few people capable of just sitting.
If I try to do the same, just picking up my phone in a moment of boredom, I instantly feel aware of it. I know I should put it down immediately and I do. It's not to help me, it's a form of self-imprisonment.
