Feel like I'm going to have to give up chocolate. The amount I'm eating in a week is just daft now. Thing is, I almost feel like an alcoholic in that I don't think I'd have the ability to say "oh, I'll just limit myself to one small bar a day". Plus I'm certain itst the main reason for my podge that I've got coming. Having a podge whilst rock climbing isn't conducive to good climbing. At all.

I think the big thing psychologically is to not look at it as "I'm refusing to eat this" and rather say "I don't need this today".

Now my problem is now finding a replacement for chocolate. Nuts? Bit bland. Fruit? Surely the best option, right?

joo sirius? no chocolate?

let me aX: what do you get from it? is it the sugar? is it the stimulant/antidepressant drug part of it? is it for hunger or pleasure?

there are ways to get chocolate drug without the sugar. e.g. “cacao nibs.” they taste a little sour and smell like olives actually but they’re alright if you can handle, like smoking filterless cigarettes (gitanes, i miss you so...)

there’s also chocolate sweetened with sugar alcohols (erythritol, xlytol, maltitol, etc) which helps some but can give you the farts/the shits. there’s also stevia which does not meld weld with every flavor.

personally i make a chia pudding with ground cacao (wtf is the difference with cocoa) that can be sweetened with stevia with little harm. the chia + whey provides protein + good fats and the cacao is for drug value. can also be made with erythritol.

Honestly now it's just an addiction. I'm just eating it for the sake of eating it. Yesterday I had one of those big bags of revels, the at lunch I had to chocolate bars, then I got home and had a coupla slices of rocky road. Gotta cut that shit out.

Stop smoking weed, it will stop the cravings for munchies

edit:
and now the more serious answer: there's supposed to be more "healthy" chocolate, e.g. https://lovechock.com/
I've no idea what this is, only did a quick google for alternatives. They claim they make "Chocolate that honours your body." But that could also be total bullocks

There's also carob, which is an alternative for if you're allergic to cacao

[h8kurdt]

Haha! I actually only smoke it when with friends which might be a couple of times a week. This is just eating for the sake of eating. I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate. However, it could sate the craving for white chocolate.

[!@#$%!]

sssso you’re addicted to sugar really

fruit won’t cure that

[h8kurdt]

I mean, eating that has gotta be better that scoffing chocolate under the duvet on me tod like a mad man.

[!@#$%!]

haaahaahaaa!

that was very funny. must spread more nutella before etc

anyway i wish i could help but i only got madness to offer

i’ll only say watch the total/added sugar in your food though. like, read labels, especially with an eye for carbohydrates/total sugars/ added sugars. see what daily totals you scarf down.

[h8kurdt]

Yeah, it's definitely sugar I'm addicted too. Can't start looking at a 6 pack of doughnuts and saying "yes, this is an absolutely fine replacement to a four pack of wispas". Damn this sugar shit is gonna be a tough nut to crack.

Kevin Smith said that coming off sugar is harder than heroin. Ignoring that he's probably not done heroin he has a point.

[!@#$%!]

ok i will post this one and only once, because it will seem super kooky, but no, it’s a thing, i’ve done it, i will do it again whenever i need, and it works

I appreciate that but I ain't a chonker. 5'10 and 11½ stone is fine. It's just a paunch on the belly that needs sorting out! Climbing and work keep me generally fit. Thanks though!

[!@#$%!]

hahahaha! great word, that one, "chonker". and i didn't mean you were one, that was just meant as a "sugar rehab method" sort of thing. alright.

ps- also you brought up kevin "chonker" smith lmao

This is the austrian president holding up a polar bear plushie. No particular reason for posting this. It's just weirdly adorable taken out of context.

 

And now for the context, if anyone wants to know: He used the plushie as a visual device to talk about the plight of many species due to the drastic climate change. I look at pictures like that and it's a stark contrast to the re-elected Conservative Party chancellor (the president being a former member of the Green Party, now a left-leaning independent that however does what the austrian president is expected to do - representation, being calm and collected, generally not interfere too much) who's just a neoliberal on steroids who had many disgusting flirtations with the far right. At least those far right fuckers have lost a good amount of votes during the last election, creating the possibility that the government will enter into a coalition with a party that's more, well, sane. So, there's that. No doubt that whoever will take the mantle will also certainly take the fall once another scandal surrounds that wannabe-Gordon Gekko though.


Now, with all that heavy context it's still an oddly adorable image.

C'mon, touch it!" or words to that effect.

Ignoring that our shitty old coal-powered stations are much more likely to collapse under high-workload than the renewable ones. And that we're edging towards, or are past, majority renewable power in several states.

wow, what a fucking moron. yikes indeed.
