I try not to drink so early in the day. I am tired though. I haven’t been able to sleep well lately. I gained a lot of weight in the past few years and only recently got back down to a normal BMI again. I’m still trying not to eat since I’m most comfortable being thin. But being hungry makes it hard to sleep. I only eat one meal a day — at supper, since I’m able to feel sleepy more easily once there’s something in my stomach. But if I wake up in the night, usually to pee, it’s really hard to get back to sleep. So I’ve been very tired lately because of that.
Since you’re already starving yourself—sometimes when I want to loose weight, I go on a “5 bites diet”. Basically skip breakfast, have 5 bites of food for lunch, 5 bites of food for dinner, and two 1 bite snacks. Following a diet like that might be easier than fasting all day, idk everybody’s different.
Also, I’m sure you already know this, but alcohol has a lot of empty calories
@Adam Strange You always seem to keep amazing me with your Si PoLR every time. I seem to always be learning something new lol
Well, that’s the idea. Calories in < calories out. I’m probably not getting optimal nutrition, but humans are resilient! I’ll be fine. I just need to work harder at sleeping. That’s really the only problem I have. Fortunately mobilizing Si is so dysfunctional I’m blessed with the ability not to feel consciously hungry, for instance.
Though it’s interesting. I notice that when I don’t eat, I’ll unconsciously betray myself and start moving automatically to go make or find food while I’m distracted, thinking about other things. And it’s strange; if I just stop myself I go right back to this as soon as my attention is distracted. It feels like I have to concentrate on overriding an autopilot program when this happens. I’ve been buying gum and mints to inhibit this tendency. Also, sometimes when I haven’t eaten for a long time I feel sharp stabs of pains on or very close to my bones, either in my upper arms or ribs, as if someone had jabbed an enormous, thick needle onto them, somehow bypassing my skin. I think this is my unconscious realizing I’ve turned off my hunger perception and trying to send me another signal. Lol. This happened especially frequently when I was a kid, and it took me a while to realize that eating made these pains go away. But I’ve since developed the ability to mostly override this as well.
look at how delighted these people look when the icecream comes out of the molds

You still gotta eat! Fruits, veggies, salads! I went no gluten and I was drinking a lot of green smoothies at one time and I was thinnnnnnn. Also, eating something heavy with some protein/fat before bed may help with hunger and with sleep. When I got to bed sometimes, I would eat a spoon full of peanut butter and I would wake up with my stomach feeling full. I know it's not good to eat something before bed usually but maybe having something light to snack on before bed will help. Sleep is just as important as food and we tend to burn a lot of calories when we sleep too. Also finding the times of day which you seem to be naturally hungry may help with spacing out meals naturally too and can help keep focus. There are certain times of the day I get more hungry if I hadn't eaten personally.
If you still want to drink, I know there are some really good low-calorie alcoholic beverages out there.
LMAO POPTART I STILL DO THAT (trying not to as much cause I need to cut back and get more back in shape but that is fillling)
I have fought people over which peanut butter brand is better. I take that shit seriously. People used to make funny of me for eating spoons of peanut butter out of the jar. Damn have I found my people.
When I was little, I was a Skippy girl. That shit was like liquid gold for me. But they left Canada years ago and I was so devastated. I had to start eating my mortal enemy, Kraft peanut butter with the bears. I actually like Kraft now. I prefer the smooth. But I like to take a spoon and mix it more and get it extra creamy. My parents have gotten me Skippy when they returned from the States a couple times but, its not the same.
As long as it is not natural or crunchy peanut butter, I am generally happy. I cant eat the natural stuff for the life of me. The texture, the taste, ick.
In addition to making you gain weight, drinking will majorly disrupt your sleep cycle. Alcohol consumption prevents you from entering deep/ REM sleep. Even though you fall asleep quicker after a couple of drinks, you’re not getting restorative sleep, which leads you to feeling tired the next day. Back when I was drinking, I would wake up nearly every night between 3-4 am and would start drinking again until I fell back asleep. Not surprisingly, I was always tired lol.
Sorry I hope this doesn’t come across as too lecture-y lol.
You know, oddly, I tend to sleep better when I’ve drunk. It’s likely as you say counter to the chemical effect of alcohol, but I think it’s because it makes me happy and calm, while my difficulty sleeping comes from a feeling of being tense and uncomfortable. The more stressed I am the more difficult it is to sleep.
I like Skippy's plain peanut butter.
Do what I say and not as I do
Is the natural stuff better for you, yes. Will I recommend it, yes cause it is better for you. Do I think it taste like Satan's spawn? also, yes. There can be two truths. I will eat my crap processed stuff cause it makes me happy and I like the sugar. It is still fairly healthy dammit! Low sugar, low-ish fat, and decent protein. I have taste buds you know! That natural stuff may be good for you but it kills my soul~ I'm not going to knock ya for the processed stuff. Just saying I have my preferences
Edit: When I lived in Germany, I went peanut butter hunting. All the North Americans were on the look out for what peanut butter was the best and tasted the most sugary LOL. They don't really do peanut butter over there and the jars were small. I tried a bunch until I found my fave. Still had my mom and friends ship me peanut butter though.
Here in Belgium I haven't come across peanut butter without sugar or oils but online it is easy to find buckets of plain peanut paste which does not taste half bad

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Are the alpha's going to be down as the peanut butter gate keepers now? Cause Hell I don't mind. I will happily do so~ Only the best may pass. Though I would rather start another thread on it. I feel bad by keep derailing this thread.
I prefer Skippy's the best too. Jif was kinda meh... mediocre and Karen-y, and once I switched over to Skippy I liked it a lot.
I tried Velvet peanut butter for awhile- I don't really recommend that one. Was a weird taste. Wasn't crazy about Peter Pan either.
I'm not sure if I had Kroger's or not- I'll have to try that one. I like to make fun of Kroger and the dumb commercials but some Kroger products really aren't that bad depending on what you are getting.
I agree I'm not fan of natural peanut butter.... at least not the storebought kind I mean if I really wanted it to be natural, I'd just make it myself like a Delta amish housewife that churns her own butter.
Also I loathe frozen meals now. Here's my experience with every frozen TV dinner: They are really convenient and often depending on the meal the first one u get really isn't that bad, and u even kinda like it. It pleasantly surprises you. But then sooner or later you get a bad one that turns u completely off of it. Stouffer's mac and cheeses used to be really good but the last 2 I've had were awful and I've never purchased them again... same with their chicken rigatoni meal. Whatever they are doing in the factory or how it's being processed is making them gross. Often u get a batch that is inedible - I'm permanently turned off from it. And this was stouffer's ... usually they are the best for frozen meals. Some brands are always inedible to me no matter what meal u get. Have you ever ate a Marie Calendar's chicken pot pie? Ewww.
And don't ever fall for 'free coupons' it's usually some horrible food they are trying to get rid of that will make u sick if u eat it. We had a coupon for a free kroger frozen pizza. Disgusting! I didn't even eat one nibble u could just tell how gross it was after I cooked it. Of course a LIE/LSE asshole businessman will give you something 'for free!' if it's on the same quality tier as feces.
