Goals should motivate you to improve. If they aren't doing that, something is wrong.<br /><br />~<a href="http://www.logmyloss.com" rel="nofollow">South Beach Steve</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-46358716308429143962010-11-06T06:50:36.433-07:002010-11-06T06:50:36.433-07:00Anything that is used to alter our mindstate can b...Anything that is used to alter our mindstate can be a drug - food, booze, sex, gambling, shopping, smoking, etc. - SO TRUE!<br /><br />What is it about the human condition that we seek these distractions?

Thanks for thinking deep fro all of us tired out buy our comings and goings of the week. <br /><br />I have only been at this for 4 months, so I do not have enough new history, yet. But, I can say that I think you can indulge in the things that you enjoy. SO far I am able to do this. But, it is in limited in moderation and I budget them (whatever they are) into my daily calories. So far, I have not been tempted to binge. Or overindulge. I think I am over the overindulging part.

The reason being that it is socially acceptable, at least in my circles, to decline liquor but food is everywhere. And you still have to eat ... something. Food is connected with love, reward, celebration and fellowship. You can go out to dinner and have an iced tea and no one bats an eye. The booze is always optional; the food is not. <br /><br />Hey, I'm still an anonymous blogger. I have a facebook and lots of "friends." Even Mr. Splurge has no clue. It's really just for me. I would censor myself too much if I thought others were reading.Sevenbeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408190872701308055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-88249692866459489412010-11-05T17:05:15.068-07:002010-11-05T17:05:15.068-07:00Things make a little more sense now with the sugar...Things make a little more sense now with the sugar thing and the balance we need. It takes discipline. I must have realized that I might have a problem with desserts and sweets and that's why I have been avoiding them. Come to think of it most people when they binge, go for those type of things, so we learn something every day and thanks for being my teacher today, Leslie.<br /><br />~Sheilahmensahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402876465144504851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-71515952229145032932010-11-05T16:48:39.163-07:002010-11-05T16:48:39.163-07:00I love that story about the drinking, or not drink...I love that story about the drinking, or not drinking.

And it served my own selfish interests too since I am looking forward to having a friend on Twitter with me:) I actually just sent you an email about this stuff. <br /><br />Second, I have to say that I love the humor you always inject into whatever you write. It makes me smile. <br /><br />Third, I get the anonymity thing. I have a separate FB profile. And wish the few people I knew were not reading my blog because every now and again I do censor myself because of them. Sigh.<br /><br />Now, pickled... I am laughing because I was soooo thinking how you sound like me and then I just got to my name. Yep, we are a lot alike. And I have certainly wondered in this past year if I am officially a food addict. Just one of many questions I have asked myself and been unable to answer. I think a key difference with food addiction and alcohol is that, like in your story, it is possible to stop drinking. But it is not possible to stop eating. So then we have to find a way to manage what we eat instead of just abstaining totally. Which brings you and me both back to that concept of moderation. Sigh. <br /><br />This was a great post. And you made me think of a few things that I had not thought about before. Like... maybe it is time for me to journal what I eat. I have not done that in ages. And maybe I need to reach out more for support either sharing that journal for accountability or to keep myself from starting when I feel a craving. Thinking. <br /><br />Sorry so long...Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086719828916510651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-80425729834415058542010-11-05T10:05:52.083-07:002010-11-05T10:05:52.083-07:00I just love your brilliance.

Thank you for that. Because it MADE me think about it. For me, it's not a triggering food, it's emotions that fire off and I'm turning to food. Which is why sometimes, (as you so aptly said) I can have my cake and eat it too and other times I have my cake and then have someone else's cake and so forth and so on. Great, great insight here.
