3 Weeks In

[splitthis]

3 weeks ago I decided to change the way I eat. I was tired of feeling crappy. The first 3 days were hard but now I feel healthy. I eliminated all processed foods, no longer eat out in any kind of restaurant. I eliminated gluten, potatoes, rice. No artificial sweeteners or processed sugars. Natural sparkling sodas grow on you if you give them a chance.

So mainstays are: any fruit (sorry Devidee) or vegetable except potatoes or avocados. Any legume is good. Lean meats such as chicken or turkey breast. (Grilled turkey cutlets are yum). Any seafood is good, eggs, and fat free dairy.

In time, I may go full vegetarian, with step first to lacto ovo.

I quit Vodka 2 days ago, its my biggest internal devil. Today I feel amazing. As I said, if Faith can sever me from that Devil, God is real. Will give honest updates, and yummy healthy recipes for those who may also be thinking of healthier, clearer living.

Fat-free dairy is essentially white sugar water (hello, lactose) with some protein. Go whole milk or nothing at all.

Why no avocado? That's seems to me to be a weird one to exclude, I understand the rest of it.

Unless you just don't like avocado, which is fine.

Hello

I have also enjoyed going sober. Since Jan 4 life just keeps getting better. I still dip tobacco though.

I have really taken to the Hot/Cold shower trick. Many have told me about it for decades, but it seems to really help me now.

I think it is because it trains the brain to go from hot to cold and back so quickly. This keeps the neurons firing harder for new ideas all throughout the day. IMO

try it for a week for yourself.

peace

obvo more power to splitsy for taking control of her life so im not bagging on anyone but apparently there is a lot of weird internet confusion about the 'fat' content in avocados.

It's a healthy fat like olive oil only problem is they are both high in calories.
People think because avocados are healthy it's ok to eat a shit load of it/them but they still gonna make you gain weight just like any other food healthy or unhealthy.

why no potatoes? They are v good for you + you need carbs or you're gonna feel like shit and have less energy and won't be able to perform as well without them.


A good way to track calories and macros without actually counting them is diving your dinner plate into 3 50% protein 25% carbs like potato or brown rice and 25% greens or other veggies like bell peppers

Not about calories, but getting rid of processed food chemicals and gluten. Get plenty of carbs from legumes, fruit, corn.

The whole fight was over someone being called a slur, which wasn't even serious. Got blown (sorry) way out of proportion IMHO.

[devidee]

You assholes need to stop stealing my sober thunder.



Also, LULZ at veganism.

I thankyou, a lot. I will reach out when/if I get to be total vegan. I wish you continued success in sobriety.

I also want to apologize for our disagreements, part of my changes going forward is letting go of the past. I don't see me in a 12 step because I have never been a joiner of groups. Even in my spiritual journey I have felt a presence but kept it at bay. Church keeps trying to get me to sign up for this group or that group, cant. I'm good at volunteering for short term events only.

PFA/NWP/Donkdown/Boris is the only thing I have belonged to for an extensive period of time. Probably because I can keep it at bay at will. I think many here have that same quality.

It is water under the bridge. I’ll say this - I may not agree with what went down but I 100% understand your motivations and (even though harsh) can understand why you (or anyone not living my life) came to some of the conclusions you arrived at about my character.

I am, about as anti 12 step as a person can be. I have no higher power. I think long term exposure to meetings and succumbing to a “herd mentality,” causes more harm than good. I attended meetings for maybe a month - strictly for the purpose of finding solace and support in others who were “going through it.” Once I felt strong enough to trust myself - I stopped going altogether. I now volunteer instead. I have found that my recovery comes from the care and hope I am able to provide others.


For me - sobriety has been an act of mind over matter. 12 Step meetings were just a triage. My approach isn’t widely respected - but my mentality is, “ fuck it - it my recovery and these are my terms.” And for now it works. I mention this because you possess that same certain fierceness that I have. You need to do whatever works for you. Failure comes from not living up to other’s expectations of you - if you are being true to yourself - you cannot fail.



I have your back.....

All this love in the air lately. Not what I signed up to PFA for.

Tyde needs to start a Rainman thread and our bitches need to get their claws out again.
