#over indulgence

[struggling-to-be-healthy]

I had Starbucks this morning and then went out with some coworkers after work. It was a lot of fun, but I used 103 points today. Fuck. Tomorrow I'm going out for my friend's birthday 🤷‍♀️

I would smoke a burning tire if it felt good in my lungs

I was wondering why I enjoy gifting friends so much and buying them things even though I hate spending money.

And I finally realized that it’s because that was the main form of how my mother showed me affection through buying me whatever I wanted.

How do I fix this? 🥲

I’ve been such a bad boy

The title pretty much speaks for itself - a naughty boy I have been. No excuses. Been eating loads of crap that I shouldn’t, and have been over indulging when I said I wouldn’t.... however... I did make some baby steps this weekend - had steaks with my mate on Saturday night instead We had a dessert afterwards, but I did feel quite accomplished at the time and I have to admit, as he was cooking them, I thought to myself that I really missed cooking.

I have cooked a bit at home this last week or so and have enjoyed it so much. I just need to get back into the routine of doing so again. This morning, I took 2 chicken breasts out to defrost and am going to be having them tonight with a ton of veggies and pickles and sauerkraut (trying to sort my gut flora out - I have read this is the best way to do it next to kefir...) and I am really looking forward to it.

I have not lost any weight this week (no fucking surprises there) but my attitude has taken a positive turn. I have also decided this week that I am cutting back on my glutamine during the day, and just having one before bedtime with my gelatin. I have been using L-Glutamine for about 6 weeks now (I think) and I can tell a huge difference in my sweet tooth, but I think the carb cravings are still there slightly. I am hoping it will take the edge off before bedtime so I won’t be thinking about it.

I found a recipe for coconut flour bread which I am going to attempt at making on Wednesday so that should help provide the “bread” sensation should I feel the need/miss bread haha. I also tried cauliflower rice last week and immediately decided that it was not for me - so I think I will stick to meat and veggies for a while.....

At some point in your life, you have to say enough is enough. We have to stop doing things to ourselves and allowing things to be done to others. we have any number of media outlets purporting to be about your health, but where do we start? Our bodies, our minds? we first need to accept the concept that these things are connected no matter how much we cannot feel it. It is a whole other level. When we work the mind to rough, it doesn't try and catch it's breath, sometimes it may go ahead even faster than before, ti doesn't get tired where as the body does.

The mind is active even as the body gets rest. Evidenced in our dreams. I had mad adventurous dreams this morning. I was with a group of people who were celebrating fire and some sort of a monument they had built. It was all very primitive landscape but the people were not and some were even people I know from my waking life. The structure was that a  large person laying down on their back and at three places along and inside the body were fire pit dome shaped rooms and people were gathered inside sharing the warmth.

Then I was with a guy I from work and a friend from California and another person who may have been an actor I recognized from a movie scene and I was taking some ecstasy and I just took that then I took some LSD on paper and the paper got really mushy and then I woke up before any of the drug effects kicked in. Don't know why I woke. I wasn't scared or uncomfortable. But it was about that time I wake up, maybe 7 hours after I had gone to bed.

So is it the dreams or is it that I was rested and my body was ready to get up again? I had enough sleep. Maybe the dreams are just a way of keeping me asleep until I have had all that I need. Alcohol,or too much of it, messes up this natural process and in turn we get less sleep and also have less positive attitudes as a result of this meddling of our bodies needed recovering.

So enough of the over indulging, it inhibits our dreams. We over indulge in all sorts of things nowadays. We, guilty folks like to use the term WE. Spread it around a little so all of our bad decisions get evenly placed blame, however unjustified that may be. stop blaming society for all of your decisions.

I keep telling myself I don't stop smoking because I dislike the anti-smoking propaganda coming from agents for the state. These ads are pretty dumb and false, but so are most ads. Exaggerating effects, negative or positive so the buyer/consumer is more likely to be swayed to one point of view. Classic rhetorical methods, they go back to the Greeks, as do most of our Modern Western style concepts about life. If they didn't, they just where would we be? Overindulgence may not be our problem, but over restriction, Like the mindset that seems to be taking over the more extreme members within the ranks of our Muslim friends.
