[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 565853, member: 1211"] I try. I feel I do pretty well, but I could always do better. I used to eat candy as my food vice, but since most candy is now made with inferior chemical substitutes, they ultimately did me a favor. I rarely crave it anymore. Sugar was always my Achilles' Heel. I eat two medium meals a day, one being with a large spinach salad with a modest amount of dressing. I don't eat until I'm stuffed, and I'm lucky in that I'm not a nervous eater. I like food as much as the next person, but for most of my life, it's been a hassle more than anything resembling a pleasure or coping mechanism. I wish I could plug myself into a wall and get fuel that way. I work out five days a week for 30 minutes. I've been a vegetarian for nearly 30 years. I do eat standing up, and I can eat quickly. When I feel any anxiety, I don't drink coffee, eat sugar, or any simple carbs that turn into sugars. I'm pretty mindful of that part of cause/effect. I'd rather take a hot shower and relax that way than eat food. I wish I had a sauna . I do think that when you eat relatively cleanly, when you break away from that for any number of days, you really feel it. A couple weeks ago, I kept running into free food and foods I otherwise don't eat. After a handful of days, I really felt like I'd been eating a lot, like low energy, but I hadn't been eating A LOT. I'd just been eating things I don't normally eat and that aren't the most healthy. It wasn't the amount, but the consistency and the content. A good reminder that my normal eating habits are pretty decent. [/QUOTE]
