We buy these 4tbsp sticks of butter
Last night, I had 200kcal left and butter sounded good so I ate 1/2 the stick and went to bed
Confession: Less than 2min of getting into bed, I got back up and polished off the rest of the stick … and… I still want more 
That feels like an opportunity for hot buttered toast wasted
I find eating the straight butter is more satisfying
Put it on cake!
I really wish this was in another thread other than the flame free confession thread. I have such a strong, adverse opinion regarding this behavior which, I feel, justifies teasing; but alas rules are rules.
Tease me in my log 
The reason I put it as a “confession “ is because I realize it’s stupid
I’m pretty sure it’s more common than you’d think…at least among the under 5 crowd
there’re definitely times where my emotional age qualifies as “under 5”
…something I think we all have in common 
Butter is basically steroids without all of the details (molecules & stuff).
Throw in a couple of vitamins and it’s pretty much Flintstones D-bol.
Dear Lord, why? There are less time consuming ways to understand the racist stuff babushkas are muttering under their breath.
I officially joined the band cult. I mean, I’ve been impulse buying and accumulating bands throughout the years in the hazy notion that I’ll use them during the summer months, but until the pandemic I’ve never actually trained band-only for more that a couple of times in a row.
Now I’m sending unsolicited videos to friends with a “see, you can do deadlifts with bands” before they invariably block me.
I was obsessed with the history of the ussr
You haven’t heard the racist stuff my parents say 
The nation’s leader, who hasn’t been seen in weeks, reportedly appeared at a fertilizer plant
I confess I never believed that the North Korean media could have a gold standard sense of humour like this
Flame free: I want to message my ex, I miss her so much.
Otherwise, what can I take as for sleep aids? My mom gave me melatonin but I still barely sleep
If you’re carb sensitive, an insulin crash around bedtime might help
I’ll get back to you in a bit. Might be a lengthier response so I’ll post it on your log, fine?
Never been carb sensitive and I guess it’s a good thing
As far as getting better sleep: a pre-bed routine that involves some sort of mediation add wind down consistently over time. Drugs will only mask whatever is causing your sleep issues.
I personally do about 20 to 30 minutes of yoga and write in a journal every night. Helps with my anxiety and focuses my thoughts and energy into letting the day go. Also helps when I plan out way I’m going to do for the next day. I know what I have to do and how in going to do it so I don’t have anything in my mind. Sometimes I use it at catharsis and get out that shitty energy I know would stay with me and keep me up at night if I’ve had a bad day or there are some unresolved things (usually having to do with work).
Also I refrain from screens for at least 30 minutes before I expect to fall asleep - usually read in bed. Quality sleep is very important to me as I usually only get about 6 to 7 hrs tops, I want it to be quality (and it usually is).
On the nights where I have broken sleep (and this is where yoga and meditation have helped tremendously) I control my frustration that crops up which is counterproductive to the actual immediate goal of failing back to sleep.
Something else you might want to consider is the comfort of your bed. Is your pillow uncomfortable? Is your room too warm or too cool? Optimizing your sleeping quarters can help a lot. Give it some thought and experiment as needed … keep to one change at a time if you do decide to try changing your sleeping quarters so you can examine how that change affected your sleep. Rinse and repeat. Shit, you can also keep a journal of the process - might give you some insight into your sleep behavior.
Anyway, that’s my advice. If you do use some sleep aid, don’t become dependant on it … it’ll only Jack your sleep up long term. Good luck bud
Found 3 6-packs of these in the fridge. I ate 12.
The wife went nuts.
Women…
