So I used to be a binge drinker. Then, one day, it occurred to me that all this seems to accomplish is making me feel sick/terrible the next day or even 2 days. So I stopped. Now I rarely drink. Maybe 4 drinks/year. The same thing happened to me with pot. I realized that all it does is exacerbate my asthma and make me sleepy. So I stopped. I used to chain smoke too. That was a little harder to stop but I did eventually quit for good in 2004.
My point is that I'm pretty good at stopping bad habits when they begin to affect my quality of life.
When I pig out, I feel just as crappy, often for almost as long. Yet I do it ANYWAYS twice a month or so. Why don't I learn like I did with the other things?
Today, I got a craving for french fries. I couldnt stop thinking about them. I went to mcdonalds and suddenly wanted cheeseburgers to. I ended up eating an entire 2 cheeseburger meal. Then, I went to the store and ate Margaritaville tortilla chips. I KNEW I shouldnt be doing it, I even felt sick while I was doing it...but I did it still.
bleah
Why don't I learn?
