In need of any kind of assistance: I’ve been laid off earlier this year from big pharma. Took a few months off to regroup as I was also managing with family care. I’ve now been actively applying to roles in PV, Quality, RA at all sizes of pharma/biotech as well as contract positions. I’ve either been ghosted or rejected. In the meantime I have been taking online courses. Not sure what else I can do. Thanks in advance!

I've been working out since early 2020 6x/ week and lost ~30lbs. However, I didn't adjust my eating -only switched to an intermittent fasting schedule (eat between 12-8pm). Now, I'm trying to focus on better eating. I struggle with sweets - If it's around me, I need it all lol and Uber eats is a weakness bc of all the dessert places! My meals are relatively balanced so not a major issue...

I've heard of intuitive eating but sounds a bit fluffy (lol) - other tips? What has worked for you? Help!!
