I did get a good salad with lunch today, may try some cooked veggies soon. Squash would be good.Maybe it just isn't the right time of year for salads and stews or pickles would be better?
Thanks Emily, and I do like the bone broth protein. And my knee progress is slower than I'd like, but I am told better than it could be...Bone broth is meant to be very good for you, so well done on that. And on the knee progress.
I think AA has helped a lot of people, and has some good to it. However I don't get a lot out of OA, the version for us...I dislike AA as much as the next person but don't reverse-listen to them!
Not yesterday, but I will try today...Good to see you having salad again Rob.
I always want sweets, no matter the amount. Can't say taste has nothing to do with my binges, when I can choose I will take something I like the taste of, but most anything will do... I sure know that reaction to fat and sugar...I somewhat regularly realize I don't even want a specific sweet unless it's in binge amounts. Guess that means I don't actually like the flavor of the sweet itself that much but rather the way my brain reacts to its combination of sugar and fat...
Maybe fun isn't quite the right word, but it is the feeling you get when you fulfill some primal urge. It is a kind of high...I never imagined that a binge could be fun.
This exactly.Maybe fun isn't quite the right word, but it is the feeling you get when you fulfill some primal urge. It is a kind of high...
Thanks Cate, but right now it feels more like grasping for anything that might work... You are right, I sure can be too "all-or-nothing"It sounds like a reset is a good idea, Rob. You seem to be an all-or-nothing kind of guy, so probably can do it. I would need G to be away for a couple of weeks to be able to, I think.
Well put Llama, you'd think knowing that so well would keep us from bingeing, but, well you know...The binge aftermath sucks and it can make you feel so hopeless. Having to start over again and again sucks as well but not starting over is even worse. Way easier, but worse.
It probably was, I was feeling a bit weak, but not hungry until after I ate... When I was a kid I can remember getting ravenous after swimming. Not so much any more exercising kind of kills my hunger. However if I don't eat enough I do start to feel weak.Eating is definitely the healthier choice after that much exercise (I get ravenous after swimming especially)
Thanks Cate, and you are right. However I do have some fat stores to make up for it.That is a lot of exercise with not much fuel. Well done on 3 good days, Rob!
You're right I know, and I don't like that weak feeling... Oh well, just muddling along.I know the feeling of exercising so much I go right past hunger and into weakness. Not nice at all even when you technically have the strategic reserves to deal with it
