My first thought? (after wondering how much longer I had to live)... "Well by golly, I'll LOSE WEIGHT NOW"!!!!!!!!!! And if I don't lose weight from THIS... I'll NEVER lose, and will NEVER EVEN WORRY ABOUT TRYING AGAIN!! especially after being forced to realize just how short life can be so I will therefore enjoy it all on MY terms. (even if that did mean in a manner that could actually cut my life short, DUH) So I did lose... 40 lbs in fact, but what a way to lose. UGH! So I got rid of all my big clothes, bought smaller sizes, swearing the weight would never come back, and guess what? 30 of it's back.
So I'm thinkin...Damn, that's pretty sad. How pathetic can I be?? I lost 40 lbs in record time, and even screwed that up. Then I thot now wait a minute, I'm being a bit hard on myself I think...after all, it all happened so fast, it probably wasn't all fat loss and most of the loss was from "losing" what I did eat and/or going for days without eating, nor did it give me any time to even think about changing any habits, much less actually doing it. And let me tell you, after an experience like that, when you DO feel like eating again? And when you can taste good food again instead of metal? Do I even need to explain what I wanted to do at that point? HA!
Having said all that... I don't see how this wouldn't work... I obviously have no discipline to try anything with big restrictions... I mean "real" restrictions.. but it feels very promising to have discovered something with such a simple path to self control. I'm ALL OVER the concept of simplicity, in every aspect of my life. So this looks like the perfect thing for someone like me, and I can't wait to get started. Looking forward to all that comes from finding this BB and new way of life.
Sorry so long, which I wouldn't normally do, but I'm just so dad-gummed excited about this!
