Re: September 8th 2018
you mentioned that you have food addiction. is that some kind of coping mechanism? if so, you probably have or have had depression or anxiety in some form or another. again theoretically.

so you see it as just because you enjoy the taste of food or the act of eating too much? that could be, i guess.Foo wrote:or not enough willpower.zombie wrote:you mentioned that you have food addiction. is that some kind of coping mechanism? if so, you probably have or have had depression or anxiety in some form or another. again theoretically.

Re: September 8th 2018
I didn't take it as such. I actually chalk it up to a lack of willpower on my part, but it could be something else I am not aware of.zombie wrote:i didn't mean to push.Foo wrote:could be that, could be what you said, could be boredom.zombie wrote:so you see it as just because you enjoy the taste of food or the act of eating too much? that could be, i guess.Foo wrote:or not enough willpower.zombie wrote:you mentioned that you have food addiction. is that some kind of coping mechanism? if so, you probably have or have had depression or anxiety in some form or another. again theoretically.

Really? You woke up one day, and didn't want to pick up your big kick shitter boot-straps, and say I'll take over the world? You were saying fuck it all....Foo wrote:Sure.

Re: September 8th 2018
it doesn't come along with any kind of change in your mood or anxiousness or anything? it could very well just be lack of control based around just enjoying the act or taste.Foo wrote:I didn't take it as such.

Re: September 8th 2018
I have always felt like it is better to take action to change versus analyzing why. In the end, the reason is far less important than the correction.zombie wrote:it doesn't come along with any kind of change in your mood or anxiousness or anything? it could very well just be lack of control based around just enjoying the act or taste.Foo wrote:I didn't take it as such.

if you can find a solution without knowing why you are drawn to do it, absolutely do that.Foo wrote:I have always felt like it is better to take action to change versus analyzing why.

Re: September 8th 2018
Sounds silly, but it is basically deciding what is more important to me? To be in better shape and feel better, or enjoy that moment.zombie wrote:if you can find a solution without knowing why you are drawn to do it, absolutely do that.Foo wrote:I have always felt like it is better to take action to change versus analyzing why.

And I equate that to be exactly like drugs. You can decide to do drugs, or you can decide to make better long term decisions for your life.

Re: September 8th 2018
101 today, oye. Feels worse while sick, but I needed to go to the bank so I couldn't avoid it. Willpower!
The only thing willpower can help with depression is just working with it to move along, or as I said earlier, being productive. Acknowledge you have it, but don't chain yourself to the bed because of it.
