You took the right road and ended in the wrong place.
Begin again.
You reached the top of a mountain only to find yourself at the bottom of another.
Begin again.
You dotted every 'i' and forgot to cross your 't's.
Begin again.
You were at the wrong place at the wrong time and your life changed forever.
Begin again.
You loved hard and lost big.
Begin again.
You won the race but they gave 'first place' to someone else.
Begin again.
You followed your North Star and ended up at the South Pole.
Begin again.

Intermittent fasting
So. I had a lap band installed in March 2010. I lost as much weight as I wanted to lose because I don’t care about being skinny. Then in July 2012 I had it removed. After that I lost 15 more pounds. I maintained that weight loss up until a year and a half ago. I have since gained about 20 pounds and I feel like it’s concrete, cement, Ugh.
This sounds like an excuse but it’s really a reason: my body is weak and I have a hard time with regular exercise. I have musculoskeletal issues and some other things. I do enjoy being in a pool and doing exercises; however I have a thing about public pools. Hmmm I know excuses excuses. I walked for about 8 to 10 years and that may be the reason why my bones are falling apart.
So. I heard about this intermittent fasting thing. You eat approximately eight hours of the day with in time sets, or as I call them parameters. And I thought, that could work for me. Because most of the time I don’t eat until noon and I don’t really eat a lot, although on some days yeah.
So I made the mistake of starting this a couple of weeks ago while in the throes of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome. (next blog) I set my times from between noon to 8 PM, or 11 AM to 7 PM or 10 AM to 6 PM. But then a couple of times I woke up hungry, or couldn’t get to sleep because I was hungry, so I would get up and have a light snack. Then of course, I felt like I had cheated! And I have a few more other excuses that I’m sure you can guess at. But the thing I think really messed me up was the antidepressant discontinuation syndrome, which I’m still going through, and it’s been two weeks. So I’m going to start it again because I really think the intermittent fasting can help me. It’s not like a diet where you have to follow, or count calories. You just live your life. You can throw in some exercise which I plan to do. I have a few dogs I can walk LOL
Anyhow I will be writing about it here from time to time. I really can’t stand these 20 pounds, it really feels like 50! Ciao
