Starving For Control

What do you think?

 

I have a suggestion. I suggest you think of an issue that you've thought about often in the past, the gender differences issue will work, and then think about the details of the issue without personalizing any of them.

 

Thanks for your suggestion. What would that do?

 

Sooo fake.

I assume sheela is a chic. As if in real life you'd give two shuts about her. Thanks for being supportive, that'll last 10 seconds.

The voices in your head are why you cant quit smoking? Really...so its the voices in your head.....not like the addiction to nicotine

And your bottom feeder psychiatrist who is just using you to pay off the holiday house knows better than anyone does he/she?

You are addicted to the attention at least pretending to feel sorry for yourself gets you...and almost exclusively from guys, you dont give a shit what the girls say

 

Schizophrenia, yup just turn it off. I have no idea why those who have this never thought of that.

 

But you are one of the ones those men were cheating on their wives with, so that is just overcompensating with the guilt of how ever many years of that now

And its a mans world becuase they are less likely to be caught up in short term emotional based goals

 

Sam, try it then you tell me.

 

plenty of men dont cheat on their wives.

have you ever tried meditating? It increases your capacity for happiness.

 

Vanilla Gorilla, here I was starting to like you. But you had to go and be disrespectful and mean-spirited, just like the stereotypical girls I supposedly don't think about. Guess what? Did you know my other and grandmother who I live with are both women?? Who woulda thunk it.

You lack tact so you don't have a very strong moral fiber like I do. Speaking of which, no I don't sleep with married men. Maybe I was talking about men like "dear old dad" who almost brought AIDS into the family with his reckless womanizing. I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me. I'm not self-pitying either. I actually HATE getting attention and in real life I'm very low key an unassuming, precisely because of situations like this where people show their true colors.

 

Which part exactly did you think was mean spirited?

Over thirty and not married, you dont have to be anything else, just not married, and that is enough of a threat to them. Do you disagree? Because none of them have ever said directly to your face, no I dont want you hanging out with my friends and their husbands because. ...

You dont sleep with married men? Just start talking about hedonism in casual conversation with them and they are supposed to believe it doesnt include married men just based on your word?

I have no moral fibre becuase I lack tact? So high in moral fibre is about hiding what you really think. As Ive said before, isnt that the main flaw with these therapists, if you dont like what they say, or even if they dont have the right facial expressions when listening, then it will be whatever ex cuse as to why they are suddenly no good and you'll move on to the next one thats fresher at listening to the same old story again.

You HATE, capitals, getting attention in real life?
Do you think ANYONE believes that?

 

Going hungry is a strategy embraced by athletes and warriors.

In our society, we can sedate ourselves with food.

If you are embracing the edge, good for you.

 

Okay, you win lol.

Yeah I'm not thinking about starving or anything anymore. Basically like you said about what the therapist had to say, it was silly advice, which was to be more extroverted, when introversion is my natural personality and has to do with control over my psyche. I was trying to replace introversion with strict dieting in order to still have control in lieu of her "advice" about being extroverted. It was ridiculous and won't happen again.

 

Piney, that's cool as shit!

 

The previous entry was addressed to vanilla gorilla.

 

If you have buttons inside of yourself, then you will have no control, anyone will be able to press those buttons, and bring your emotional baggage to the surface. You need to learn how to transform all the buttons inside of yourself, and then no one will be able to control you, you'll be a rare and free person.

 

That's amazing Mr. Guru. Thanks for your insight. Do you have any links about how to transform/uproot buttons? I think it's possible.

 

Dear Samantha,

I understand your desire to pick something which looks like it could be healthy and get a sense of taking control of your life. I am not sure not eating after a certain time of day was the best choice. Might I offer you another and a transition.

From what you describe, you have a compulsive and addictive personality and you have become addicted. Your father's problem with alcohol is often a genetic problem with processing sugar (sugar and the alcohol molecule are the same to the human body), and therefore you might have a high probability of having "inherited" you difficulty with alcohol.

Nicotine actually uses the opiate-endorphin receptor in your brain and therefore is highly addictive, it also, because we women have more of these receptors possibly to help with childbirth, make us on average ten time more addicted to nicotine. Men are statistically ten times more likely to quit and stay quit over women and they think it should be the same process. It is not.

I worked for many years with a clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist in NYC, when I first came to America. He helped a number of my friends with severe depression, get off medication while getting rid of the depression. It is not easy, but it is doable.

First, he made them walk after every meal. Walk for 10 minutes after breakfast and lunch and walk for at least 20 minutes after dinner. He also changed their food choices. Gone were starches,like bread and potatoes and sugars. These stopped the blood sugar spike, which makes you use insulin (a fat storing hormone) to turn the excess blood sugar into body fat. He increase protein using fish, chicken, pork, eggs and cheese with some beef. The balance was vegetables with as many colors as possible.

Once his clients had walked for one month, he added what he calls a Tiger Run, literally running like a tiger is chasing you, and if you can run without your legs not moving properly after 3 minutes, you are not running fast enough. This type of running actually provides the single best cardiovascular exercise and burns the most fat of any exercise. It was discovered by accident by researchers at UCLA Medical School.

It turns out jogging and walking take glycogen from your liver and convert it using a 4 step process, but when you exhaust your blood sugar rapidly, it triggers a response in your brain, part of the "flight or fight" response, and causes your body to go to fat stores and convert them in a single step. It only works when blood sugar is exhausted quickly and your heartbeat is elevated. Our body fat is actually our Emergency Storage. Running like this triggers your brain to think there is an emergency and convert the fat. It is also going to make you stronger, have a healthier heart and more energy. Ideally, you start with One Tiger Run and work up to 3 or 4. So you are only exercising 10-12 minutes 3 times per week.

By changing your diet and doing these Tiger Runs, and continuing walking, plus eating only 6 days out of 7, to let your body rest and to keep your stomach small, you have a dramatic change inside your brain.

My friends all said they craved sugar and bread for a while. They all sneak out for a chocolate doughnut or the like from time to time, but now, they do not drink, they have loads of energy and they are never depressed. All were on psyche medication for depression and anxiety, and a few on blood pressure medicine. They are completely off them now.

Those with heart conditions started taking Vitamin C powder along with L-Lysine and L-Proline to clear the plaque out of their vascular system and make their vascular system younger and more flexible.

One friend does this in her house just running up and down her stairs. She also runs stairs in most buildings, when dressed for it, so NOT in her high heels and silk dresses.

As the your feelings most men cheat, I think all humans are normally highly sexual. Women have been convinced by religions and male dominated societies to think sex is bad and women should not like sex. This is one of those Them Controlling Us.

I am a titled British woman and trust me when I tell you I know all about the "social messages" about sex and what Nice Girls do and don't do. I overcame these beliefs and while I am not casually promiscuous, I very definitely have more than a few lovers. They all act like gentlemen and they think of me as a Love Goddess. I have had some depression in my life, but I too follow that diet, do Tiger Runs, some very special movements and special hypnotherapy sessions. I have been very happy and quite happily marriage for many years now.

So, better diet, eat 6 out of 7 and do Tiger Runs. I think this will make you feel disciplined, and make you far healthier. It is something you can ease yourself into.

I wish you all the best.

Penelope

 

Update: so instead of starving, I'm fasting, dieting, exercising, and eating healthy.

 

As of today, I've lost 24 pounds.
