FFS. I lost about 40 lbs. and I went and put most of it back on. It’s weakness, is what it is. Maybe stupidity too. On second thought... even with my subzero IQ, I am still to smart to be this heavy. It’s like back when I smoked. Every morn I’d light up, knowing I had to quit. I beat the tobacco habit, but the responsible adult eating is a tough one. I like to graze when I’m on the computer too. And very morn... I crave eggs, toast, salt and worse!!!
I’ll beat this eventually just like I did with tobacco... but I’m gonna have to take a few runs at it and fail first.
In the meantime, YOU should eat like a king once in awhile. Unlike me - you could use a little more meat on yer bones! Hope ya got a great weekend lined up!
I don't know if your metabolism is like mine, but I eat what I want in the morning: eggs, bacon, or sausage, tortillas, salsa, whatever. Lunch is on the run at work but usually a sandwich of some kind, or a quesadilla if I'm near a good Mexican food place. Supper is water... Not eating from 1230pm to 7 AM made the difference for me. 18 lbs off so far in 3 months. And I still have too much fat!!
ReplyDeleteCheat Day Glen. It does wonders to assuage the need to get the things we truly like to have.
ReplyDeleteIf you have done it once you can do it again. STxAR's suggestion is good - if you cannot manage that, not eating after 2000 is also a good practice.
I start out with a big breakfast as well. Then a cigar after. No one makes it out alive.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
Peaked out at 198lbs in January. Much motivated by preventing further agony and humiliation of having pipes stuck up places they don't belong to remove 30mm rocks from my insides, I have, screaming and kicking, cut portions down to half. Even my daily end of the day beer and chips are gone. Like you I desperately crave red meat and salt. But I hit 176 lbs this week. Yea a batch of bad guacamole last week, closely followed by purge for a colonoscopy killed off the last five lbs.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of losing the same ten pounds for the third or fourth time. My problem is a wife who can't gain weight and needs to. She can eat sugar with impunity, and I simply had to swear off anything with sugar--even ketchup. She always has a bin of cookies on the counter, and I had to go absolute cold turkey; I can't touch them. For me, it's worked before; no sugar, and then expanding my definition of sugar to simple carbs. Keeping the carbs to a minimum, I can eat all the meat and fat I want. I describe my diet as somewhere between Atkins and Paleo, but without the rigor of either.
ReplyDeleteThat breakfast is damn near ideal!
Hah! I've lost 15 lbs in the past 45 days. Butt, I've got prostrate cancer and heading toward surgery. Damn. 58 and fucked.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the input fellas! The tips and tricks make life a lot easier...
ReplyDeleteLooks OK to me...anticipating a day in the hill and A good solid breakfast provides the fuel.
