I don’t have an issue with eating because I have pretty strong eating habits established (except I sometimes skip my 4pm lunch because I am too focus on my work). But it’s a very different story when it comes to clothes, especially because weather changes quickly where I live (even during the same day). I try to establish some rules linked to the weather, but I do not always do it very well (and it’s worse when I forgot to look at the weather, it’s not a strong enough habit at the moment).

It does not bother me a lot in practice, but people tend to tell me something is wrong (hot and I have no shirt, or cold and I have a shirt).
