@PatrickMcM57 Carnivore is great, GLP’s too. Ask any questions you have, and I can assist. I’m close to your age, and I made a lifestyle change two years ago.
English
Today I turn 57.
I laid in bed on my one day off this week, thinking: this has to stop.
Living life like I have all the time in the world.
But I don’t.
In fact, living an unhealthy life, carrying an extra 100 pounds, eating the most unhealthy things, and telling myself I’ll change everything tomorrow…
That is only lying to myself.
A lie I have told for decades.
And where has it gotten me?
Broke. Unhealthy. Unhappy. And with no real direction in life.
So today, that changes.
It changes with a decision.
A decision to not be perfect.
To allow myself grace.
To make mistakes.
To put myself out into the world and be judged.
But that’s okay, because it really doesn’t matter what others think or say.
It only matters that we finally become true to ourselves.
So here I am, on my birthday.
Starting anew.
Let’s see where this goes.

@FourToedJones thank you. thats a great idea. ill look into one
English
Perfect! This will be hard. I'd suggest getting a glucose monitor, either the cheaper one where you stick your finger multiple times a day, or the more expensive one, the continuous glucose monitor. Stay away from the stuff that spikes it, and lean into the foods that done. Once again, good luck. I'm 8 years deep into this and I STILL fall off the wagon. If you want more advice, feel free to DM.

@FourToedJones Started with cutting out Ultra processed foods

Good luck! This will be the most difficult thing you've ever done. Food addiction is real. You'll figure this out when you keep falling off the wagon because you're at an event and someone says, "Here, have a piece". And now you're back to square one. Again. That's the key though. Never stop trying. A lifelong addiction isn't not easy to give up. Right now I'm on Naltrexone which I used to get off alcohol 6 years ago. It kills the reward mechanism and gives you control back.
Join a local gym and go every single day. Even if it's for 10 mins. Make it a habit like brushing your teeth. Many times I didn't want to go, but pushed myself and I gotta tell you, I've never left the gym NOT feeling great. Even if I stayed only 10 mins.
You'll fail, a lot. Keep going. It aint easy when everyone else is doing the opposite.
English
@PatrickMcM57 Good luck and yes now is the time as the older you get the harder it is and the more consequences your health will suffer.
English
@PatrickMcM57 Well done. For a moment, reading your post, I thought somehow, you'd looked inside my mind.
English
@JustDoTheWork66 I have a plan. ill share more on twitter soon. No winging it anymore
English
@PatrickMcM57 Good for you, but what's your plan? Just winging it won't work. You need a definite plan.
English
The mistake we keep making is believing we can change while continuing to be the same. And, we make declarations of change only to have revealed our plans to devil himself. For there to be a rebirth, not change but a whole different life, a previous life has to be sacrificed and allowed to die. It’s not an intentional change, it’s making room for what already exists. Stop chasing the world and allow the world to be as it is. Life simply flows. You simply float along with it. Everything becomes easy. You just deal with what is happening right now. If planning for the future is what’s needed. Then simply do that now. If a flat tire needs repair, then just do that now. If a nap is needed. Lay down and rest. Everything will still happen as before. But you will only be living in the moment, which is all you really ever had.

@PatrickMcM57 Happy Birthday Buddy, you're doing the right thing. It's never too late. May I suggest walking as the first step (pun ). Trying to jump right in might burn you out. Walk 10 minutes from home and then walk back. I'm in the same shoes, and have dropped 50lbs since I started.

@tinanwaka002 I had some conversations with the universe a few times
English
@PatrickMcM57 Amazing 👏. I can't imagine the courage and boldness that this came from. Undoubtedly, this thought and realisation came thru the grace of the Almighty. Bravo and congratulations 🎊 👏
English
Well happy birthday day!
I like to look at my life that I am in competition with myself.
Don’t look at others
Set your own goals
Improve what you do and how you do it every day
Become self employed
This is the very first step to determine your own destiny
You have to look at yourself only.
You only compete with yourself
Once you realize that then you can start working on you not what you think other people think of you.
Go get them!
English
@PatrickMcM57 Stop bitching and do something you fag. Damn. Just do it. Stop being fat, stop drinking.
English
@PatrickMcM57 Good for you! Goals for this next great chapter!!! Do it..... don't stop! Enjoy each day; wake up early and happy!
English
@Raymond92203782 Deeply grateful for sharing that with me
English
@PatrickMcM57 I genuinely wish you luck my friend. I remember many years ago the instruction my Vedanta teacher proffered and I hope this is useful for you:
Discipline is not a long process.
It's a way of life.
It's a question of understanding in order to find the balance. I wish you joy.

@hatched_ague Having people make fun and jokes can help motivate sometimes lol
