Why Don’t We Care About Those Calories?
Substance and alcohol abuse are rampant amongst anorexics. So my question is,
If we care about the calories in skim milk, coffee, juice, diet soda, etc. why do we think nothing of occasionally (or more often) drinking ourselves into submission?
I don’t think I have given much more than a second thought to the amount of calories in a night’s worth of drinking, or what those calories would do to me. Yet, if my coffee isn’t non-fat, sugar-free syrup with splenda or some other type of sugar substitute, it will plague me to the point of not being able to drink all of it.
Last night, I drank 2 and a half double caesars and 2 shots. Admittedly, I hadn’t had much to eat during the day - somewhere around 500 calories from a quarter slice of banana bread and a white mocha or two; my alcohol weighs in at just under 600 calories, without a second thought.
Do you find the same - that you’re concerned about everything except for the concerning one?

Absolutely right Terra…this goes not just with our consumption habits but with even with our double standards in behavior.

I am not sure about wine but I do know that beer is extremely caloric.
I once read a report that German women’s handball team was encouraged to drink one beer after every practice to quickly replenish their energy.
Of course they needed to drink lots of water too.
