How can you be sadly if your eating foods?

Glass and/or metal are going to rip your innards apart very quickly OP.

I made the mistake of mixing my suicidal drinking with limp wristed attempts at "healthy" eating.



I should have just started throwing back vodka while ordering Taco Bell instead of trying to mitigate the damage.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Occasionally yes.

 

[FunkMiller]

How old are you? Because you can stop that shit pretty easy when you hit a certain age and start getting health warnings

Exercise can help you moderate as it provides energy more efficiently,
Now I just need to act on my own advice

 

[Dr. Suchong]

I ate 4 horse dick sized hotdogs in rolls, and a bunch of beers last night.
I'll probably do it again today.
Stupid tasty food.

You're on your own with beer. I don't drink alcohol. Probably the only reason I'm still alive.

Crisps/chips on the other hand. Oh dear. I could genuinely eat my body weight in Doritos without much effort. The weird thing is I don't actually get hungry - I just eat out of sheer boredom.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Everything in moderation and you should be fine. Although, I tend to make any excuse to have a drinking occasion, lol

You have to just power through those warnings, my friend. Stay strong and you can remain an alcoholic for the rest of your life!

It's like those warning lights when you start your car, just ignore it and keep moving!

That was me a few weeks ago. Just eating and drinking and feeling melancholy, but this week's been better. Visited my folks and went walking in the park, feeling good.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I stopped drinking, never ate beer though.

Therapists HATE this LIFEHACK to quit drinking

You Europeans get started early, eh?

 

[GeekyDad]

Seems we're still in transition as a species in terms of balancing these processes. Our senses for food were probably always hyper, but now that we don't have to hunt, we just consume without the ability to burn it off naturally. Though philosophies for how to balance the issues we've been experiencing for the past 1000 or so years (exponentially growing) are great, we probably require a truly natural, evolutionary change to our format to sustain another viable make-up. I'm sure it's in the works.

 

[Outlier]

Can't or won't? Can't implies it is required or being forced by other means for whatever reason.

And no. Turns out I'm immune from these afflictions. I honestly don't understand how people frequently overindulge in such things.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Been eating food 3 times a day everyday for 42 years now… I think I have a problem

 

[TransTrender]

Check out Athletic Brewing.
NA beers that actually taste like beer, which is exactly what I want.

For the food, after dinner I pound chewing gum.

Gluttony is a mofo. I use to struggle with it. Now I've rewired my brain to get dopamine hits from abstaining.

Start with IF. For me it works best when I only eat in the evening. My work gets a lot of donuts, and I've gotten to the point where I walk over and give them a hard look, only to walk away happy/proud that I didn't partake. Each time you do that you'll get a little stronger and it will be easier next time. The good thing about IF is there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Wear a watch, know that you can eat at a certain time (4:30PM for me). Start small and just keep holding those W's when you avoid a gluttonous situation. Eventually it will come natural once the feedback system is "rewired". At this point the dopamine hit from not eating the donuts is greater than if I did. Hell there's even some shame/negative feedback when I do break my fast incorrectly. Once you get a taste of the results, it's all downhill. Inertia is your friend. Before you see the losses it's faith based, after you drop a pant size it's easy mode.

A big thing is staying busy. Idle hands do the devil's work. If you're sitting around all day doing nothing, this is going to be a lot harder.

Water is your best choice. Find the right water temp. I enjoy ice water. Don’t buy beer when you go to the store. You don’t have to say never, but stop buying it. I like beer once or twice a year. I did have a six pack of IPA from the store. It was cheaper than buying a couple singles. Sometimes I’ll buy a single can to put in the fridge. Once that’s gone, that’s it. My parents went through a case of beer a week. I’m a big drink person. That doesn’t mean alcohol. I like the drink section at health food stores more than the snacks. It’s so expensive for some of those drinks, so the price limits my consumption.

Oddly, as a heavy cannabis user I'm able to control my eating habits quite well. Barely get the munchies at all. Been on an intermittent fast schedule for over a year.

I do like beer though.

Op you're doing it wrong for a start.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Drinking just makes me dizzy and sick very fast and eating too much gives me terrible bloating. Tell me about your problems OP.

Aye, I'm a huge proponent of IF. It changed my bad relationship with food forever.

I've been doing IF on and off for years. It's the only diet that has worked for me. I've lose almost 80 pounds following it and using meal supplement shakes/powders when I absolutely needed something out side of my 6pm-12pm window.

Granted a most of that was when I was working and according to my fit bit, I was burning about 3000 calories a day.

Honestly, more people need to do this.

Had a breakfast burrito from, 4 beers, then a ham & swiss sandwich, and then 2 beers today. Gonna head out for some beers I think.

What the??

I don't even remember making this threads

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I used to be a very heavy drinker and nowadays I go without an alcoholic beverage for over a month.

I find alcohol to be physically terrible experience. I'm not even talking about the hangover but just the drinking itself is difficult for me nowadays.

 

[RJMacready73]
