  • So glad you didn't do BMI. I think it is a

    Big

    Misleading

    Integer (ok, I know it's not an integer, but I couldn't come up with anything better on short notice :P)

    this was a much more interesting perspective.

  • Well my topic was going to be why the BMI is not the end-all, be-all of body goals - but why it CAN be an interesting tool to get you thinking about your body type, your weight goals, and your physical makeup. Nonetheless, I didn't feel like it. Glad you liked the video :P

  • Distraction is not always the best answer. You must be aware on what the core of your being is, concerning your eating probs.

    So binges don't come of physical needs, they are mental needs (unless you are realy starving and haven't eaten for days).

  • You make a good point, but I think you missed mine.

    Escapism is one thing - avoiding your problems by constant distractions. However, distracting yourself as a life-hack - a method for recognizing your habits (mindless ingrained behavior) and changing them - is a great way to go. Better than just sitting there, wanting to eat, and anxiously battling temptation.

  • What is stickam?

  • Absolutely agree... distractions keep you wanting to come back.

  • Great vid Shanti! I like it.

    I agree on the bored and eat or stress eater. I have changed and I always try to find something else to do instead of eat. Distractions are good indeed :)

    Cheers,

  • I'm not sure if I should give my actual response to that of "why must sex be thrown into that mix" or if I should give my goofball answer of "hey, want to distract each other? :D"

  • Yes

  • Very interesting topic.

    And... is that a tongue piercing? That's the first time I've noticed it!
