Very cool topic @firepower - upvoted and followed!
Although I think making conscious changes or goals is worthwhile, I've found when I make "ABSOLUTE" rules for myself, I'll stick to it for a few weeks or a month, and then inevitably end up breaking them. Once this happens, I feel super guilty and up just completely throwing in the towel and going back to my evil ways haha.
For instance, I'm also into eating healthy, drinking less too.. plus I hardly ever watch TV. That said, the best way for me to keep to these lifestyle choices is to give myself a little cheat treat every now and then. I do enjoy a juicy burger and fries on occasion, a couple glasses of wine, and a very short list of shows, like Game of Thrones.
When I do allow myself these little treats, I appreciate them all the more - knowing these mini-vices don't dominate my life. Just my 2 cents! :)
I agree with you @jobsande. I use chocolate milkshakes, steaks, and chinese food for this purpose. When I did my MBA in Hamburg, me and a friend of mine who was a native German guy, we used to go to this tiny Chinese place downtown and eat these massive bowls of Chinese noodles.
We always added that red stuff that is really hot. Was sooooo good.... probably lots of MSG too - beautiful. Who cares as long as you don't eat stuff like that all the time. Although noodles are pretty much fine.

Moin moin! Ich wohne schon seit 7 Jahren in Hamburg. Witzig. Ok, I'll stop the German now in case your Deutsch skills are a little rusty :) What was the name of the place? I might know it..
I remember my college Ramen Noodle days. Now I'm gluten free, so I gotta stick with rice noodles, although at Asian restaurants that's usually never a problem.

I don't remember the place's name but it was very close to an Apple i-Store. I think it was near this high fashion street with cobblestones or something if I remember correctly. Like Madison Avenue in NYC but in Hamburg.
I still understand the language because I am a translator for German to English. Rice noodles sounds boring. Do you put something on it?

achso, du hättest mir denn auf Deutsch schreiben können, also ich benutze die Chance zu schnacken so oft wie möglich. Jo alles klar, du meinst bestimmt Jungfernstieg, das Applestore und diese Gegend kenne ich auf jedenfall, aber keine Asiatischeladen in der nähe, vill. ist das nicht mehr da.
Klaro, Reisnudeln mit soja, chilo sosse, etwas scharfes, curry, satay soße, usw usw viele möglichkeiten digga :D

Cool so you knew it, amazing. My best friend in my MBA class was German. He was originally from Kempen in Bavaria. He was stationed in the USA when he was in the German navy and then came to do his MBA in Hamburg. We went there together. We also had a really good friend from Hong Kong, and one from Sri Lanka.
This is gonna surprise you: I can't write in German! I can try but never have to do it, because my target language is English.
Sure but still sounds rather bland to me man!

Bland?! I just listed some of the most delicious sauces known to human kind. Pshh..
Sounds like you had some good times, it's a shame you can't write it. Not like it needs to be perfect, I for sure make VIELE fehler aber ist mir vollig egal :)
