I need it off RIGHT NOW

OMAD day 6

Day 5 became a splurge day, one that I regretted quite a  lot, becase we went to an indian restaurant, which was ohmygod so delicious, and later on continued to Maan coffe and had chocolate waffles with hot chocolate. I regreted that today. Even though I was throwing up a little bit after the condensed milk, I was still super hungry, which got me into a of a bad mood. Thankfully, I just went running after getting home, which always help to lift my mood. Then I ate 2 apples and waited an hour before I ate noodles. Managed to eat slower, much slower, and able to pace myself, even though I was eating in front of the computer... Part of me just wants to dive in and finish the eating, but I noticed the slower I ate, the more calm I am, the faster I get full and more controlled in the whole process... And I get to enjoy the food for longer...Wonder if todays was so hard for a specific reason, maybe because i was mixing carbs with protein and fat so much, or if it’s just ‘one of those days’. Right now I’m getting some of the mushrooms back, showing that I probably ate a bit too much in terms of volume...But that’s ok, I can see improvement. around 7-8/10 when it came to stopping to eat at the correct time. Overall find the OMAD youtube videos very motivating, my biggest dream is to get a nice clear skin, hoping that will level out with OMAD. My acne is most likely due to hormons, but maybe fasting will help? As of now, my skin is very dry for some reason... I don’t know if it’s the excessive washing or what, but will keep this blog updated.

OMAD day 4

Well, it became a splurge day instead of being the last one before my splurge day. This happened mostly due to my friends wanting to eat lunch with me, and i just cant for the love of me not eat dinner. So i ate lunch with them, and didnt really control myself, which ended in eating far too much, mostly because the food was so oily. I felt lethargic and kinda regreted not following my plan of just having the coffee, i didnt really feel like eating either way, but did because of social pressure. Then I felt lethargic for the next 5 hours, the whole time we were in the KTV: Since I felt rethargic i automatically  felt a bit off, and decided that today will be my splurge day. Went and bought 3 small apple pies and a choclate. I wasn’t hungry, but the idea of skipping dinner is just somewherer around 10/10 for me...So i just decided this might be my splurge day,  have done 3 days of OMAD already.. Todays success was me eating my normal bingemeal in silence, without watching anything. This is my requirement for myself, my food has to be eaten sitting down and with the 3 breaths between/25bites thing.  I don’t just my food enough, even now im getting cabbage peices ‘back’. I think it will be a big milestone for me to be able to skip dinner as casually as i skip lunch...Just the idea is a 10/10 anxiety. Also realised that i have probably some small off with the gut bacteria, I don’t poop avery day, or even twice a day like some people say you should.. Might have to something with the amounts I eat, which will be interesting to try to challange and journal on. All in all, a good day that tought me a lot. The funny thing is that my energy levels were almost the same as if I had had coffee before we went to lunch... Man do I regret that lunch,..

Day 2 of my OMAD

Well, it’s 16:00 and I’m not even that hungry. Mind you, 30 minutes ago i was ravenous. Now I probably wouldn’t eat food offered to me. Heck, I even said no to a cake. That’s fucking amazing. Today I was feeling much hungrier in the morning compared to yesterday, possibly because I had only fruit yesterday, around 800 cals, but stil went slightly unsatisfied (but full) to bed. I want to have that fruit only thing maybe once a week, no coffee, just to give my body a break. I found it helps to stay away from food around 1-3pm, which is when I have my biggest cravings, so I have been going to the schools cafe having coffee, and that really helps. Also, reading about people who have dropped 15 pounds a month... Thats around 6.8kg... Which is exactly how much I want to loose... If I realise that I’m on day 2 out of 30, it doesn’t seem that difficult. By the time im on day 30, I can set a new goal, and be many kg lighter. 30 days of this very doable fasting is seriously not that horrible to think of, when I think about that I will finally have THAT body. Also, fasting is actually good for you. I will be also implementing mindful eating into this whole thing, cuz I don´t want to make past mistakes of fasting like a boss for 3 days and then binge for 2 weeks and hate myself and all that good stuff.  This time I will succeed. I document and write down, and realise when I’m beating myself up for stupid things like eating one extra banana. Overall, quite optimistic. The most important thing is to search for daily inspiration and ‘own/accept the hunger’ and try to implement intuitive eating, and know that he weight loss is there. Also, the splurge days will help me relax. Find what motivates you: For me, it´s kpop guys. They be so fine yo.

Starting OMAD with a planned splurge day

Basically, the title says it all. I have been journalling for a while now and found out that these things work for me: 1. Eating undistracted: That means no computer or phone. 2. Breathing between bites 3.Being honest with myself: And that means, once i feel im full but dont want to stop eating, to ask myself: What am I trying to make up for? That always stops me in my boots and helps to slowly change my neuroplasticity. 4. Think about how you’ll look and then act according to that. I’m not going to use food as a numbing tool when I look like a supermodel. Whats the motivation: Short term: I actually have a lot of energy when fasting, I just have to remember to ‘fetch it’, that means focusing on the core.

Benefits:  -Better skin -Learn to have a life outside of eating -You’re body has longer time for repairing. -Flat stomach, slim thights, slim face *_* And remember: You can loose weight. There is no not losing it if you eat less, move more. We tend to think that we are somehow special and that surely our bodies will never be able to loose the weight. And if you want to eat, here’s a list to do to help you dirsupt the pattern: Dance, journal, remind yourself that this is your animal brain taking over, ad you dont have to act upon it,no matter how strong the urge gets. Go running.Ask yourself whats wrong :)

The goal date...

So I’ll be leaving back for Iceland in about 2 months. I will stick to my diet, because it’s actually quite simple and doesn’t require that much self control as long as you remember WHY you’re doing it. Remember, you WILL become LEAN. There is no way for it not to happen, if you eat healthy and moderate amounts and exercise, you will loose weight. Think Sims 3: If they ever got fat, you just put them on the tredmill and you could see the obesity drop. This will also happen to you. You will be treated differently, by others and by yourself, you will look great in that bikini/dress/WHATEVER YOU PUT ON and your will become slimmer, you won’t have to hide your double chin in the pictures, Remember hunger will come, but it’s you that can control whether you act upon on it or not. Remember all those cute clothes/styles that YOU DON’T FIT INTO. Why? Cause you have some extra fat. And no, that doesn’t make you ugly, but we live in a superficial world and let’s face it, skinnier, toned people are more attractive. In the end do what you want, but getting thinner is an amazing feeling. In 2 months I’ll be slimmer and healthier then ever.  Here’s my journey

Doing it the Anthony Robins way...

..the way that has worked so far for so many, including myself. But I actually never finished the program, due to many reasons, and at the moment am far too lazy to start to listen to them again from the beginning. So I’ll just use the tips that I remember and hopefulyl get back to listening to the tapes later. In the meantime, here is one of the best tips I got:

Tip #1: Write everything you eat down.

Why? Because overeating is a habit and just by writing your food down your are disrupting the ‘habit-links’ in your brain. Personally, I just found it much easier to know how much I’ve eaten and when it’s ok to ‘indulge’ in more food, and when I know I’ve had enough. Today, I ate:

Breakfast: 1 orange, 2 bananas

Lunch: Small bowl of brown rice with steamed vegatables and beans (around 7 white beans) and 2 teaspoons of chilli sauce. + a salat with a pesto olive oil dressing and a big teaspoon of hummus. Snack: 23 grapes, 1 carrot, 2 slices of mango.

Dinner: dip-bowl of kimchi

1 bowl of salat with hummus 1 big tsp and around 50gr of beans,

1 smallish bowl of brown rice with steamed veggies and that’s it! Was a good day, have had good energy levels and now I’m going to watch a movie with a friend that’s coming over :3 Goal for tomorrow: leave a small amount of food on my plate in one of my meals.
