I know we’re generally better off not talking about it. But
Friday I saw my new GI doctor for longstanding issues that persist no matter what diet I eat. I shared that the only thing that seems to help me is eating less often, and that I’m generally OMAD. He told me fasting is great and he does it too. Yay my doctor is cool!
I just took myself out to see “The Menu” at the Alamo Drafthouse (a theater chain that has a full restaurant menu and servers who bring food/drink to your seat). I felt bad for my server because if I don’t order then she doesn’t get a tip, and there were only 3 people in the theater. So I awkwardly told her I would not be ordering, because, um, well I’m fasting (I know, TMI). She got really excited and said she does too, and then she offered to just bring me a big glass of water with two lemon wedges and two lime wedges.
I feel less fringe now. It’s nice to feel a bit more support.
When I was in Panama for a vacation I went to the tailor of Panama to get a custom made suit to reward myself for losing about 200 pounds . Guy in front of me had lost about 150 and kept it off with extended fasting like a decade before.
This story sounds like it could end with “And then I woke up…” lol, it seriously sounds surreal to me, I‘ve been fasting since 2011 and I am yet to find someone who does too outside of Internet fantasy land. When it happens I will surely come here share my excitement too!
So this is random but actually talked about fasting with someone and he ended up being someone that does kickboxing as a profession. It was so fun to hear about all his little tricks he uses for optimal fitness and apparently this was one of them!
