Enjoy your workout❣️ Isn’t the gym supposed to be busy? It’s January❣️ 

People go on week long food binges from a picture? That's pretty crazy. I mean I've overeaten my whole life but not because of a picture and certainly didn't blame the person who sent it. I'm glad I have it under control now. Our gym was packed again- but I got it done. 

Moops for me it is all about having a laugh at yourself and with others. 

Dp and chestnut, it’s not a binge unless you’re overeating/overdrinking. ☺️☺️☺️ 

You are so right about impulsiveness and using food/alcohol as coping skills. 

Hmmm... Yeah I definitely don't have impulse control after googling it. That's reassuring. 😉 

I LOVE😍 YOUR "THINKING🤔", MOO!!! Any form of message sent is not always received as intended, but subject to the recipient's interpretation and perception depending on what he/she is going through emotionally, physically, spiritually, etc. at that particular moment in time. My "squeeze a lemon" analogy. That said, even though we're all different, we still have the choice to be kind and respectful with our actions, thoughts, words, etc. Then there's always being able to ask for clarification, take most things with a grain of salt, and have a sense of humor, like Chestnut said 🤙 

I think your post underlies how complex the food/behavior relationship can be if coupled with conditions such as poor impulse control, OCD, anxiety disorders and avoidance behaviors. I think therapy treatments are one possible solution that may work but often can take more than one attempt - finding the right match between therapist and client can be challenging. I guess it is important to *keep trying* until you find what *works*. I had lost 60 pounds before and ran into a health problem that my doctors could not diagnose. And, I am next to one of the leading health facilities in the country! So, while I was doing low carb and 1500 calories a day I was gaining five pounds a week. I underwent over six months of testing before the underlying root cause was discovered. Can you imagine the frustration of losing control over your body. To make a long story short, I got treatment after the diagnosis and the weight gain stopped -- I don't need counseling but I do need a second chance :) 

At the end of the day having impulsive behaviors is a characteristic of a person that is mentally unstable. They are fast to lash out at anyone and they are unable to recognize how their emotions are unreasonable and even repetitive. They are literally incapable! their brain lacks the skill to recognize the mal-adaptive behaviors they engage in. These people are lacking real friendships and even relatives. For it is hard for people to understand and continue to support those who are mentally ill. For this is extremely exhausting and overwhelming! It is common for them to self harm themselves and yes Moo excessive drinking can be used as their means to cope. 

By the way! Love your post sexy 💕💕💕 

Hope, we see it often enough. Finding healthy ways to manage urges that excludes self sabotaging ways is key 🔑 ❣️ Keyten, I didn’t go to the gym today. I’ll do some yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ and use my body as weight. You’re a role model for healthy lifestyle. Dp, I didn’t know you before last year, but you’re heading in the right direction now. 🤗🤗🤗 Thanks for understand my words. English isn’t my first language, sometimes I don’t use the right words or people misinterpret my meaning. Acomandr, yesss❣️ I used to be jealous of Rosio’s posts because her food always looked better and tastier than mine. Pizza, cookies, hamburgers, cake, ice cream... whatever I was craving she would post it. I had serious food envy... why is it that she can eat that all the time and look skinnier than me? I put the blame on genes, instead of overeating. Every time she posted food I had to scroll through quickly to not look at it. I thought she was intentionally posting it to taunt ME?!!! Isn’t that crazy? I went to therapy and realized, it had NOTHING to do with me. It was just what this girl was eating. 😂😂😂 I was so upset with her but I never said anything... haha I feel silly typing about it now, but yes therapy helps. Sorry rosio19 if you’re reading this...I never told you about it today. 😶😶😶 It was an unhealthy mindset. Acomandr, I agree with it all, especially asking for clarification... in fact jumping to conclusions is another symptom of having an impulsive disorder. I don’t react until I know with certainty what the intention is, they’re “innocent until proven guilty”😉 I believe chestnut was referring to his relationship with Stella, but I could also be exhibiting impulsive conclusion jumping. 😂😂😂 Keyten, yes❣️ when it comes down to it, impulsive people lack the foresight to see consequences. These people are unstable and will hurt those around them. They’re not a lost cause though. They will need to find a solution to their control their urge to act out. That is not none of our responsibility, the only person we can control is ourselves. Perk, your special case would fall under the 3rd category. Not necessarily from a psychiatrist, but needing medical intervention. 👨🏻‍⚕️💊💉 Rosio, BINGO❣️ if they keep doing the same thing and getting the same result every single time but they expect a different result, that’s lacking the ability to see consequences. 🔮I love everything you wrote❣️  

Interesting. What line of work are you in? 

I can answer this @kpw Behaviral healthcare  

Kpw, I found it fascinating too. I don’t like to reveal everything about myself, bit of mystery is nice. 😉 

lol mystery gone 

🤪🤪🤪 

And I’m proud to say I’m finishing my clinical degree. Yes English is my second language and I know my writing skills are not the best. But I I’m on my way to soon be a clinician, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) 💕💕💕 #igotgoals 

Rosio 👏👏👏  

I love to talk about my line of work Moo 😎 

So basically you’re telling us to get our shit together? 😂✅
