I’m also down to 145 pounds due to diet (mostly paleo and no gluten what so ever), exercise, and juice fasting. Just finished a 3 day water fast (that was a blast) So, kind of running out of options. The only option is to be 100% strict every second of ever day. And that’s pretty damn hard to do.
Also, by giving up EVERYTHING you have ever known or enjoyed in life, including hanging out with friends…what does that get you? You feel slightly better…and maybe look slightly better than heinous. Does any of that matter if you’re holed up in your place making bone broth and ignoring the world? You still don’t want to do anything, because there’s temptation everywhere and nobody understands. That even includes eating a hot dog at the golf course. I mean, you can literally do nothing because of this shit.
I have 2 young daughters and a wife…they’re all about to leave because I’m not even a person anymore. Basically worthless in every way. Not to be a downer, as I know that is of no help…but hell, I can’t stand being around me, why should they?
How the F did guys like CD go all in as long as they did? That is so amazing I can’t even fathom it. It’s next to impossible, with having a family, job and other obligations. Literally the only way I could EVER even potentially get somewhat better would be to get divorced, rarely see my kids, never see family, never see friends, never do anything but things to help with this shit for potentially years. I think this is why nobody gets better, what you have to do to achieve is not hard…it’s impossible. Maybe if you got money, don’t need a job and are young and don’t have a family to support and spend time with MAYBE. And that’s still a pretty big maybe.
