Do you ever wish you just didn't have to eat to survive?
I do. Sometimes. :(
I had a rough last few days. Not completely off plan and binging or anything but just over on calories (not way over just a few hundred over) and not eating planned food. I know why I ate over and it's because I didn't plan. I got to feeling sorry for myself. Having a bite of this and that and not logging it. It can escalate into something bad for me if I don't watch it. I'm glad I still had enough sense to get myself on track. My body is pretty sensitive to the weather and seasons so when it gets dreary out I start feeling dreary too, I know this contributed to my off plan weekend as well. I guess the first step is knowing. 2nd step is doing something about it, so I'm doing it now. I just wish I didn't have to eat sometimes. Of course if I didn't have to eat I'd probably have some sort of other issue to deal with. ;) |
Yes! Even if you don't believe that food is an addiction, I think that most people acknowledge that it comes awfully close...and all other addicts don't need their drug of choice to survive. Imagine asking an alcoholic to have one drink every day? It wouldn't work!

I have wished many times I could just take a magic pill and give up food entirely.
|
I have thought that too - many times. It sometimes becomes 'over whelming" - always dealing with food and choices. Good thing you can prepare for the future - but LIVE today.
|
Yeah, I have felt that way. That's when I tried just buying protein shakes and drinking them for meals so I never had to think about food anymore. Of course, that didn't work out so well for me...

No, never. I think food is wonderful. It is what I do with it that is a problem.
Some foods I just don't eat, unless it is a tightly controlled situation, that is, I only buy one serving--I don't typically keep those foods in the house. Jay |

But until I saw this thread, I can't recall the last time I "wished" for that. |
I used to wish for that. My first 4-5 months of my new lifestyle it was all I wished for! But I've come to terms with my eating now... it's what I DO with the food that can be the problem. So I try my best to control that aspect!

I love food but I hate that I have to plan my whole day around it.

I enjoy eating a lot when I'm in the right groove; then it's pleasurable because I have the additional satisfaction of feeling I'm going the right thing for myself. When I'm being compulsive it feels completely different, like this huge source of misery and guilt. I watch "normal" people eat and enjoy food and not get fat and envy them. Why do I have this condition? I sit on the pity pot. I'll admit though, after all these years, and endless diets, sometimes I get bone-tired of having to think about food. but, I guess not enough to wish I didn't have to eat ever.

Much better then time WASTED wishing and hoping and dying to be thin. Anything that matters, anything that is important DOES take time and thought. Eating healthy won't happen on it's own. It just won't happen by chance. It's got to be thought out. |

Sorry, I realise this is totally off-topic. The point is I would ALSO like to live like the Jetsons - it would be so great if my robot maid Rosie could just give me a pill and send me off feeling full. My life would be so much easier! Planning my food is so aggravating!!! |
