Well, well, well….I certainly understand peptide addiction more this time around than ever before. I mean I grasped the science of it previously, but holy shit did I FEEL the little bastards screaming at me during the webinar this week.
All I wanted to do was track my fantasy football, look at current news events and scroll through YouTube. It was actually so loud in my mind that I became painfully aware of the crap that I have allowed to overtake a lot of my time.
I quit smoking 25 years ago and that was super hard but after about 2 years I found it utterly disgusting and wondered how I ever even did it. I need to channel that same mental will power to change what my peptides will be addicted to, so new, positive habits will be automatic.
True Health is one of my PPN’s and I have already lost 10lbs since we started this year. A service to myself is to exercise 30 min or more every day, I have only missed 2 days in the past 4 weeks. I have also discovered something to sacrifice in order to get what I want in this regard.
I haven’t had a drink all week, which is an accomplishment but an even bigger one is giving up sweets and excess eating. I have been fasting a little over the past 6 weeks including 3 different 40-hour fasts.
Tomorrow at 1pm will be my longest fast ever at 72 hours and I can already feel this is a paramount shift in feeding my peptides, a new positive habit to look forward to. I plan on a 40 hour fast every Sunday dinner- Tuesday (minimum 36 hrs).
Another sacrifice I am willing to make to help achieve my goals is to limit my screen time to 2 hours a day (currently I am around 6) to be more productive and focus on all the undone things I must do around the house.
Mostly big tasks, which is why I have been avoiding them. One of my biggest addictions on screen is doom scrolling on a particular website that I visit at least 5-6 times a day. Most of it is political, world events, and metaphysical stuff.
My peptides crave the crazy shit in the world because I like to be prepared for it. Even though being prepared really makes me feel complete I realize if I am constantly focused on things that I cannot control I get stuck in making personal progress on my other goals.
Instead of screen time I am going to read more and take time to focus on my business’ that I own but haven’t worked for several years. I want them both to grow! I am excited to work on my new peptides and continue my habits as we progress through MKE and see what other wonderful things are going to happen to me!
Until Next Time…….
Congrats Kris and until next time!
I know you can do it. Perfect practice will over come those peptide addictions. I see you are doing the hard work. Keep going with replacing old habits with new, good habits. Congrats on your new healthier body. Awesome job!
Chris, it’s great how you plunged right in with developing new habits as you pursue true health. I’m going to be using that approach to dealing with something I’ve struggled with since the age of 5. I realize now viewing it as a peptide issue is what will work for me. Keep it up, don’t stop, MKE this time around is so much more wonderful!!!
Wow, Kris, sounds like you are fully committing to the process! Well done!
Hey Kris, those Peptides really are something incredible aren’t they? Even when we think we have control, I seem to get side tracked by them. Way to be the observer.
