Just Skied Steamboat, Co for a week

Just skied Steamboat Feb 27-March 4 2006. Five days in a row, out at 8:30 a.m, in about 2:30 p.m. because snow conditions would get slushy and piled up. I didn't ski with the "big dogs" but I was the leader of my "pack." We hit all the intermediate slopes, just about all the groomed expert runs and a couple of the easier bump runs. Skied one day in 7 inch deep powder. We cooked up a big pot of beef stew early in the week and ate in most of the week. Not much of a bar hound so we left that to the young guys who could stay out past midnight and ski the next day on less than six hours sleep. We spent our last day shopping in town and doing the Hot Springs at Strawberry Park. What a great place in the mountains. I realized that I have serious eating control problems when I am angry or frustrated. It was so strange that I could mentally sit off to the side and see myself literally attacking my food. I could see it happen but I felt unable to do anything about it. I think I will need to deal directly with the issues that make me feel this way and if I cannot control the situation I need to control my eating by avoiding food altogether. I'll try to eat when I can calm down. Have a great day. Rich
