That's really good! I'm cheering you on :smile: I like your simple approach, maybe I'm just overthinking everything as usual :lol:

Thanks for bringing up cognitive behavioral therapy, I had been wanting to study up on that, and will try to circle around back to that. Fasting seems to be helping me some, my appetite just goes away when I do that and there's no stress of trying to figure out what to eat.

Ah TCC is where I work :smile: Thanks for the S's! I will totally use them. I've been seriously struggling. At this point I've been fasting all day till lunch then finding a small keto meal and then dinner the same. I think my main problem is being physically and mentally exhausted all the time. I go to work full time and…

It's a small world! Yeah we are getting into the 30s and things are getting slushy :smile:

Thank you <3

A man who has a lust for life. When I’m around him I can feel the energy crackling off of him. He loves to be my partner in crime.

@honey_honey_12 ~ nice one 😂

@LifeChangz ~ "In 1 of those books it describes various expressions of food addiction and my particular would be "volume food addiction expressed through binge eating" [and I would add - mostly evenings, over long periods - because once started can feel impossible to get stopped again." - Thanks for the book suggestions,…

Yeah in ours too lol. My faith in God affects everything in my life. It's kind of cringe I know, but the original post was from my private health journal and I just copied and pasted here. It's been interesting reading all the responses :smile:

Hello :smile: "we don't consume fructose in isolation and doesn't appear anywhere in the food supply and when we look closer" - "Table sugar, called sucrose, is made from sugar cane or beets and is 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose."…

Good points there. I've found that dealing with diabetes is a balancing act. Eating a good amount of fatty meat can help sustain the blood sugar and if they still happen to have a crash having bananas and applesauce handy are very helpful. Think slow burning fuel, but it takes time to adapt to a fat burning state, so going…

Isn't that just the best feeling! :star: Congrats!! :star:

"Yes you can post 'whatever nonsense you feel inclined to' - others can then point out it is incorrect." - it's not 'incorrect' for everyone, so people can point out what they please - some people such as myself have an issue with sugar and it completely removes the feeling of satiety when consumed "Posting extreme…

:lol: haha made you look

8:03 AM - Ran up 3 flights of stairs to my office, speed-walked to clock in, was huffing and puffing. I felt a little embarrassed, I am out of shape! Do you think anyone cares about the heavy breathing? :lol: :flushed:

an explorer type, tasteful piercings, messy hair, normal/fit build, does not cover himself so much with cologne that I can't smell him..., maybe a couple meaningful tattoos, believes in a divine creator and never stopped believing in magic just because they became an adult, easy going, does not get angry or put out easily,…

I'm in Fairbanks, Alaska and at my desk "working".

thank you neanderthin! I love your username :smiley:

Thank you!!

I do this... I used to binge really bad until I would be sick. I still haven't found a solid solution for this other than distracting myself with crafts and writing script. What are some ways that you deal with the stress without smoking or eating junk food? Oh gosh now I'm thinking about cigarettes... ugh :tired_face:

ooh my yes! my husband does the same thing God bless him :neutral: Upping your intake of meat can help you feel more satisfied too. I'm way less ravenous if I make some fried eggs and butter for breakfast and munch on jerky and boiled eggs during the day. Good luck to you!!

1) "You're an intelligent woman. That's a superpower." - aw thanks I really try, but most days fail 2) I agree with your statement about "cautious terminology" - I plan to find some more definitive studies, because they are out there 3) I love fruit too and have not cut that out completely, but view it as a treat. - my…

I hear you and I'm hoping for healing for you and a good diagnosis. I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother in law. My aunt has CKD and it's been a real challenge. It's never too late to stop poisoning with sugar. I've cut way back because my mom has diabetes and my aunt does too and I see how much pain they have been…

Point taken. Next time quote me on the particular part of my post that you find misleading and not applying to people in general. You originally quoted me on something very personal. Anyways, I can post whatever nonsense I feel inclined to. Sugar is bad, sugar is the devil. Sorry, not sorry. Sugar is an appetite stimulant…

I don’t mean to be a stickler, but I guess that I will be, because this is the phrase that you originally quoted, “Sugar is killing me and I’m forfeiting my destiny by giving in to the seduction of it”, which is about me. Anyways, I’m not on here to debate and if I give out information that doesn’t apply to someone they…

Thanks ♥️ It’s probably my dang thyroid got diagnosed with hashimotos and low vitamin D, and it doesn’t help to be in Alaska in darkness all winter for months at a time! I’ve been working with a counselor. Weirdly enough using CBD oil snaps me out of my funk and then I get up and active again.

I’ve struggled with my marriage as well… it’s hard. I’m so glad that you got things sorted and hope that you have learned some important lessons. Hugs from afar <3

I was clearly talking about myself lol, but if it works for you then I consider you very fortunate!

Thank you so much all! God is with us! I swear sugar is the enemy. Did you know fructose is an appetite stimulant? Google it! Sugar literally makes our bodies incapable of sensing satiety.
