I absolutely love working out, due to knee/foot injuries, I haven't been allowed to do any running or jumping for five years, but I love to take long and pretty rapid walks in the morning and to do Pilates.
I also love vegetable/bean stews, most nuts or seeds, vegetables, whole wheat bread with sliced vegetables, yogurt, fruit - most of my binges are actually on "healthy" foods. While I do crave ice cream and chocolate from time to time, the most common one is an absurd amount of healthy food. |

I love hiking. Haven't done it much at all in the last 2.5 years or so, don't have the energy or the will. And I was an avid weight lifter, jogger and calisthenics...doer... for years and years, no matter my mental state, until I got physically ill and stopped. One day I'd like to take it up again, but I'm so out of shape now I just can't find the will to whip my body back in shape.
Food wise, I love the following: Carrots celery kale arugula spinach chick peas kefir greek yogurt green tea strawberries blue berries mangos ALLLL apples kiwi fruit plumbs pears tomatoes black beans asparagus...mmmmm cucumbers garlic almons cashews pistachios flaxseeds pumpkin seeds BANANAS!!! tangelos black berries quinoa smoked salmon red peppers bell peppers ground turkey pangasius fish |

I love weight lifting but finding the motivation to do it is hard.
As far as healthy food, I could probably get by the rest of my life eating: sweet potatoes oven roasted broccoli and carrots (the burnt broccoli actually tastes sweet) kiwi salmon patties

I love to walk. But I have gained so much weight that I have developed serious back/hip issues that make it nearly impossible to sustain any length of time walking. Let alone anything else. I hate it. But I keep hoping that one of these days I will move past the fear and the pain and get back into it. I know that if I do it now, I can achieve physical comfort again. It's just going to be difficult for awhile. Yoga. I really love yoga. I love being in my body, feeling the stretching. Stretching feels so incredibly good. Dancing! And exercise classes! Basically I love working up a sweat. But other than walking, which ironically I prefer to do alone and outside, I prefer group activities like dancing and exercise classes. I love working up a sweat, feeling my blood pumping. I feel so alive.  I want to be able to feel that again.I love most fruits and vegetables. I feel blessed for that. Most people do not like many, if any.

I love all sorts of fruits and veggies (especially pineapple) but I always binge on junk when I'm upset/stressed/etc.

I used to love lifting weights too, but I have glaucoma and I think it's not really recommended. Plus, I think it was another way that I could just get obsessed with numbers. Now my favorite activity is swimming and just plain floating in the pool. I think the water helps with my depression some too. Swim |
