Let them eat cake

Is it just me, or has 2020 pretty much sucked as far as years go. Now I know a lot of our ancestors would be looking at us going, “Man, you have no idea what sucked means.” And they would be right. For the most part most of us has just been stuck at home, bored out of our minds and watching the world go nuts on social media.

I am getting to the point that I am tuning out for the most part. That is not correct. I am still watching what is going on. It would be more correct to say that I am getting to the point where I am no longer wanting to engage with the world. What is the point. No one wants to talk and learn. Everyone just wants to be right.

The news sources for the most parts are just feeding us shit. I am not attacking left or right with this statement. They are all feeding us shit. And us mushrooms seem to just love it.

So what is going on in my head? Not a whole lot to be honest. I have decided to try fasting for the time being. Right now I am 36 hours off of food. Shooting for at least 72 hours. Will evaluate the situation if and when I get to that stage.

Why? Not sure. I have been working for the last year to get my weight under control. It has been up and down literally. I will sit at 315lbs if I don’t do anything about it. And over the course of this last year I have been doing good and getting myself down to about 285- 280lbs. Then I seem to hit a wall and then loose motivation and then put the weight back on and wham, 315lbs again. A yoyo it seems.

So I have been looking at Intermittent Fasting for a while, and I think it appeals to me. Kind of makes sense to me. So I think long term I am going to do the eat once a day plan. And be more selective with what I eat. But to be honest the idea of fasting has always appealed to me. I think it comes from my childhood and the teaching of how Jesus fasted in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights. I always found that story strange as a kid, as to why? But also I think I always kind of fancied the idea of trying it. Who knows I might get a wild hair and feck off into the wilderness for 40 days yet. Then probably start a religion when I get back.

For the time being I have decided to just fast for 72 hours at least just to experience what it feels like. So far 36 hours in it feels okay. I am a bit hungry, avoiding the kitchen like it is a covid center but all and all I feel okay. So we will see. Will update you how it goes. Assuming I do not die of starvation.
