202.8 OMAD daily. My rant.

OMAD most days. Slow and steady wins the race. Spending lots of time on the IFL site on facebook. Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle. I'm tired of some of the new members asking their new questions "Will this break my fast." Clean vs Dirty fasting. Keto vs palio vs ....    I am a Keep It Simple Stupid person. This isn't a religion. Don't eat except once daily. Eat enough to be full but less then your body will need for the day and over weeks, months, years you will become the person you are trying to be. Nothing quick. 19 months and almost 100 pounds down. No fancy exersize. Just some walking. You can't out exersize your poor diet. If you eat more then you need you will gain weight, Food has it's place but it is not my best friend. I don't eat my feelings and I don't eat because I deserve it. I'm not a damn dog!! 

      I don't restrict foods but I do allow myself to enjoy things, when I plan. I plan my meals my gluttony doesn't. It's not the last day on earth so why eat that way. Keep going. Be patient. It didn't come on over night and it wont come off that quick. No magic pills. No magic books. Just slight changes and slowly it comes off. No one wants to hear this but it takes time. If you push to hard you eventually spring back because your "willpower" gave out. 

I sure as hell can't RUN 26 miles, but I could walk it. Same with losing weight. Espcially at the start. If this is easy everyone would be thin. I will NEVER be able to eat like I used to. I eat like a fat man, I will be fat again and I'm NOT losing weight to give myself licence to eat like a pig...yes, I've done that and I know people that do. "I deserve this (food) is just that." It's like an alcoholic being clean and sober for a month to go on a bender. Just sick. But the biggest lie I told myself is what I didn't eat. I forgot I ate or that I figured I'd be able to eat.
