The Incredible Shrinking Ryan

Each week gets a little easier.  My weight loss has slowed down, which is a little discouraging but, I knew this was going to happen.  I am slowing down to a more realistic weight loss per week on average.  I'm never really STARVING, so I think ill stay with this 16/8 fasting window.  I don't feel any different being 12lbs lighter, but I'm a pretty big dude so, I don't think I'll feel/see a difference till I get closer to 250. For some reason this time around feels easier and I'm way more motivated to reach my goal.  Besides that, nothing really eventful this week.  I still love chocolate.

Another full week down and I am still on the downslope!  That's a good thing.  Weighting in every day really does help,  I'm not getting all hung up on the numbers so much.  Even though this week I lost less than last, it's fine.  My goal is 2lbs per week (if possible), and I know some weeks ill hit it and others I won't.  It's feeling a little more normal now, which is a good thing.  I did take a few days off of fasting just because I wanted to.  I think the real benefit is just not eating after 8 pm, so If I just keep doing that, I'll be fine.  Also, I don't want to feel trapped in this or any other system so letting go of it a day here and there feels good. I still feel pretty motivated and hope this is how I feel all the time, a new normal, but let's be honest probably not. I know for a fact there will not be a time I don't want to eat chocolate. Any form of it is good with me.  Shit, ill even eat dark chocolate, or as I like to call...

I know this isn't reality. I have been through this before.  This is like the first week you get back from camp.  You are all hype and a changed person so you go HARD!  I did the first few days.  I guess I just needed to jump-start it all.  I am doing intermittent fasting (12p-8p eating window) and counting calories.   This is just to keep me from eating at night since I don't "do" breakfast.   Can I talk about Breakfast for a second? Breakfast is overrated.  I don't know why people like it so much.  Don't get me wrong, a good breakfast burrito is awesome, but I can eat that shit in the middle of the day and be just as happy.  My pallet is pretty lame, just ask all my friends, but it seems like breakfast is like a few things.  Eggs, bacon, and some sort of bread things like toast or pancakes.  BORING! Anyways, this week was good.  Counting is kind of tedious and slows everything down.   This might be a ...
