AF Daily - Wednesday Sep 5th
Ha, ha, don't worry Kuya, if that sounds extreme, it really isn't, trust me. I do sometimes go over the calorie intake if I've really worked out really hard but I'm not doing crazy extreme workouts and also I am tiny (5'2/58 kilos).
This concern with my weight is a recent thing where I just felt like I just kept putting it on (started really when I quit smoking) and it had to stop. Generally I don't care that much as I love food too much to get overly obsessed. I've always said I'd rather wear a few kilos than be on a constant diet. Feels good to be shedding the excess though. I had got up to 62. Please don't tell me that's nothing - I am not only short but small boned.
I probably did miss your point, however, because I just don't have any specific knowledge or opinions on eating disorders as they relate to alcohol dependancy. Broadly speaking, it makes sense to me that there could be a link - as addiction can be so much about self-medicating, self-esteem issues, feeling powerless etc, in addition to its physiology.
My day has been… long. And I still have more work to do (it's nearly 9pm here). Sigh. Glad yours have been better though. Day 5 today, right?
Det, I'm not arguing with you at all - I don't know enough on the topic. I've heard of paleo but don't really understand it. I've been interested in Low GI as it seems to be good for people with insulin issues, which I very much suspect i have. Will have to look into it a bit more. It certainly seems very in vogue at the moment here, as does the whole no-sugar thing, which seems a little extreme to me, though there's no doubt Western diets tend to contain way too much sugar and salt.
Ok, back to work, boo. It's drawing to an end of your happy, sober tomorrow over here peeps…
