so i/we have decided a new approach to losing weight other than starving my/ourself (fil tries oh how he tries but is nowhere as successful at it as i am, he also eats way more carbs) and it’s called NOT STARVING OURSELVES. i have finally been swayed after talking with merkley yesterday, whom has successfully lost 55lbs since last june. i have lost 20lbs and kept it off for a over a year and now i want to lose more. i am not opening up a discussion for nay-sayers cos the last time i mentioned this starving myself diet you were all wrong, it DID work and even when i (moderately) swayed i didn’t “put it all back on” “guaranteed” and i don’t want a million of the same comments talking about many small meals throughout the day blah bla bla i know i GET IT!

anyway, this time for real, no more beer, booze consumption cut in half (at least!)(that’s totally the problem right there i know) no carbs, and snack throughout the day, lots of greens, lots of meats oh here look:

What are some foods that contain very low or no carbohydrates?

before when people told me you have to eat something during the day or you won’t lose any weight i was mostly like p’shhhhhaw in my head, cos these “people” have not lost any weight in their entire lives, it’s only when someone who has really put this to the test and succeeded, do i listen. sharpie and samir are doing a fast/cleanse right now (lasts two weeks) and both have lost 7lbs, i want to do that someday but i know once i go back to my regular ie. booze, i would put that weight back on, i also have negative ten thousand per cent willpower when it comes to sobriety and not consuming decadent foodstuffs.

where was i, oh yeah, so like merkley is a skeleton now, so i’m copying his diet.

he says everytime he goes to the kitchen he eats a piece of meat and some cheese so his body isn’t thinking I AM STARVING HOLD ON TO THE FAT even if he isn’t hungry he does it anyway. he also makes tuna melts w/o bread and this thing called pizza in a pan basically all the ingredients of a pizza w/o the bread. yeah yeah we’ve heard this all before re: no carbs unfortunately as a species we are collectively spoiled and head-strong so these simple tips need to be pile-driven home over and over again for them to sink in.

i bet merkley looks full-on homeless right now what with his beard and all.

i am going to buy a ton of those frozen full leaf spinach packages, chuck ‘em in the microwave for 8 minutes and put a dab of butter on and voila, simple easy greens that taste nice.

it’s going to be hard for me to get used to this i can tell already, not that i enjoy starving myself, it’s just i’m used to it, being alone all day long, why eat?

bluhhhh, dieting is so self-indulgent.

oh yeah no sweets either.
