Last night I spent an evening with family and drank a soda and ate some meat with barbeque sauce on it. I do that only when family is visiting now which is a rare occasion and quickly transition back to my diet when it’s over. As a result after it was over I felt pretty sluggish, lazy, and hazy today and had cravings for fruit juice and candy which I didn’t do anything about as I transition back to water and no frills. I felt that desire but did not feel like bothering to fix a meal in order to eat from the non bread, non sugary food at my apartment. So although I felt hungry I know I am not really that way. I think that’s what has trapped me for decades and a lot of folks who struggle with obesity to feel hungry when we are not. Well I’ll suffer through my cravings and get back on track as I must but give pause to the addictive qualities of so much of the food that is a part of the Western diet now.
Good for you. Yeah I’ve been concerned about my weight as well. And I have cravings for both candy (abstaining) rich food and crabs (not as good at that) and alcohol…not abstaining whatsover. See I have type 2 diabetes on both sides of my fmaily, the only time I get fresh veggies is when I make my weekly or twice weekly stir fry. I still take sugar in my coffee…not doing well.
Food is definately a similar comfort that alcohol is (I believe I had a teenage heroin addiction “fixed” by electro shock therapy which fry’s you’re memory) But from then on (I was already a heavy smoker and would often drink alone or otherwise)
Basically, I walk when I can, there’s a local state park with a bike path I walk when I can work up the nerve to get out in public (I’m terrified) But am coming to the point of terrified or not I need to walk I need exercize I have every right to be anywhere. It’s just a matter of ignoring ■■■■ (where’s our community "doesn’;t exist in our shit should be flushed reality)
Sorry. Drunk and listening to who knows what country singers.
I only eat 3 meals and a snack per day. I often feel hungry from Diabetes Type 2, as well, but rarely
give in to it. I have lost 45 pounds in the last 2 years and I am down to 190. And my diabetic readings are consistently around 4-6 which is good.
it’s always like jalapenos or pickles, maybe I’m still pregnant, ha.
I eat one big meal and 2 snacks usually…its good to keep your diet…buts its nice to cheat on it sometimes…
