    Ah, grass beer. While I am californian, I can't handle the silly level of hopping that people get into with IPAs.

    I love IPA.
    I wish I could handle the hops.

    I am more of a stout girly. Or Delirium. Gimme more of that delicious Delirium!

    Or porter... or....

    We could drink together.

    PR - Here's some of what I like.

    Double Barrel Ale
    Midas Touch
    Old Rasputin
    Optimator
    Mephistopheles
    Founders Breakfast Stout
    Old Chub
    Ten Fidy

    While I don't care for the IPAs, I hit those high gravity beers hard. ;)

    Not me. Bring on the hops! The hoppier, the better.

    Hop, hop, hop for hops.

    I looked at your profile info and took a peak at what you've been logging food wise. Good job on working to overcome an eating disorder as well as trying to be loving toward your self. I noticed that a lot of the food you are eating is processed and fast food type things plus alcohol. I would try to love you body by giving it the most nutrition for your buck. Add some raw veggies, add some avocado, nuts, fruits. And if you want to be good to your body I'd cut a bit of the alcohol out. Like others said, maybe you don't need to focus on the gym right now. Maybe really focus on getting good foods in your body. That can help hormanally and with emotions. Best of luck to you.

    Is it bad to want a drink at 9:09am?

    No :-)

    I agree however that alcohol is certainly the reason I am on MFP in the first place. You drink, don't eat, drink some more, miss dinner, drink more, even more... go home, wake up the next day and eat everything - EVERYTHING - you can get your hands on. The greasier, saltier the better. And LOADS of it. Swill it down with Coke for the head. Go to work, eat sweet things all day and drink tea, swear you are not going to touch another beer - and go to bed early. Next day, same as above... repeat often enough and you have a beer belly the size of a small island state, and spout rubbish like, I have NO idea why I am overweight, I don't eat that much...
    Yeah, right.

    edit: i cannot spell worth shiat today.
    Because I'm not a 14 year old girl.... lol, I kid.

    I like my cordials, but if we're getting into something calling itself whisky. Well. I can get a picture later, but I have a crystal decanter from Tiffany.

    I put bourbon in it, last night it was filled with George Dickel Single Barrel Select, 9 year age.

    My husband is a huge whisky fan, but I am just not that big of a lover.

    I drink me a lot of craft beer and haven't heard many of those. Then again I drink quite a bit of Canadian or German/Belgium brews.
    Have you ever had this? One of my all time favies.

    I stopped drinking like crazy when I realized my health and fitness goals were more important than alcohol. It also made me realize how destructive alcohol was to me in many ways. Obviously not everyone has that problem, and I certainly still enjoy a quality mojito or a few glasses of wine here and there. But it is way, way different now.

    If you want to drink just make it fit into your calories or hit the gym and work off the excess.

    As for exercise - there are so, so, so many things you can do that is not a treadmill and weights.

    Optimator is from Germany, the rest are straight 'Murican. Haven't heard of Cannery Brewing. I'd like to head north sometime soon to try the beers, we've been eying Banff for a long weekend trip.

    Try another hobby that is an art or skill. I love aerial circus arts, like silks, lyra, trapeze and even pole. As an ex-figure skater, I imagine it could be something that resonates with you. And as a bonus, I imagine you have the flexibility and core strength muscle memory to make for an easier transition.
