OMAD (One Meal A Day)
Eating window 6:00pm-8:00pm

🥛 Yesterday I did not eat any solid food and only consumed 900 calories and 11 net carbs of protein drinks. The reason was that I needed-to-stop-eating! Wednesday and Thursday was filled with 'compulsive eating' and the only way to stop the 🚂 train was to take a day off from food!

I am trying to 'bulk up' for weightlifting, but, I simply cannot do multiple days of 'carbing up'.

🗣️ <rant>
I know that I 'get out of control' when I start eating a lot of carbs. I know that I gain weight and will continue to do so. I need to just be honest and admit that even though I 'should' be able to 'act right' I SIMPLY DON'T. It seems f##ckng stupid of me to keep trying any diet that I have proven that *I* can't do (but others can).

So for me...

🍽️ I cannot consume food all day. Fasting most of the day is what works for me. Previously I have been 'obese' ALL my adult life. Fasting is what changed that. I need to continue fasting (and I do *enjoy* fasting) all my life or go back to being 'obese'. It is that simple.

🍕 I need to eat low carb. Eating too many carbs makes me want more carbs. I then blow my carb (and calorie) count.

👍 I made it to the Gym yesterday and worked out. The reason this was so important is that I need to go to a gym to take advantage of some info @JimmiePop directed me to that basically says you can spend an hour in the gym 3 days a week to do the basic 'compound exercises' (like squats and deadlifts) and get the most out of your workout.

⏳ A great article @JimmiePop sent me that really helped me not waste a lot of time and avoid a lot of mistakes with my workouts is: "F##karounditis" - https://bit.ly/2E6QJ1t
