Definitely continue discussing harm reduction, even if it means putting yourself out there publicly and that some close-minded people will judge you for that.

Definitely continue discussing harm reduction, even if it means putting yourself out there publicly and that some close-minded people will judge you for that. As for your blog post and the response here, I only have one comment -- continue to focus on your health with the same drive and passion that you have toward coding! I realize you took a few weeks to get healthy and change your diet, but for me at least, learning how to consistently lead a balanced, healthy lifestyle took many years. I'm not suggesting that you read thousands of nutrition studies or anything, but instead everything from learning where the best farmer's markets in your city are, what sports you enjoy and building relationships with people who play them, figuring out what triggers you to make unhealthy decisions, etc. I encourage you to approach your health in a 'holistic' way. It's a long journey and a highly personal one, but it's worth the effort.
