Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I am fascinated with our processes. It is wonderfully connecting that every feeling I see expressed here is not foreign to me. One person eating bland to avoid FET (food-ecstasy-torture). This reminds me of how I sometimes avoid flavorful spices so the food will be boring. How I shift my focus off the food by reading a book while eating bland. To avoid foods attraction I even give the words eat, and nutrition a different name. I call them refueling and optimal refueling. The amusing tricks we play on ourselves. Then there are the spicy conversations I have with my subconscious mind as I scream, " okay gourmet a**hole -- you know I can't kill you since you are part of me. But don't think that gives you the upper hand. " The self flagellation for an off-CRON-moment. Makes me laugh at my love hate relationship with a being human. Like many I too have experienced addiction. My favorite was day trading in the stock market back in 1986. Life just wasn't worth living without that adrenaline. Fortunately for me the reward I get from food is less than the euphoria I feel while fasting, but I know the struggle. I have found a new benefit of aging, now 65. If I feel poorly, eating doesn't make me feel better. It makes CRON easier. But it is all very worthwhile. I feel so much better as a CRON. A low level depression I carried around for 20 years is lifted 80% of the time. Wouldn't want to be 100%. Need that Ying to go with the Yang.
