Seeing things from or own perspective… I’ve tried really hard to imagine how other people think about things, but I know life is just different for everyone.
Where I’m going with all of this, is that I have a best, life long friend, who I love like a brother. He had been morbidly obese for most of his life, then after some health scares, he just used extreme will power to limit his calorie intake, and dropped from nearly 500 lbs, to below 300lbs ! Freaking awesome, right ?
But the thing is, he has to constantly struggle to stay around 300 lbs, and in reality, it would be great if he could lose another 80lbs.
So, during a long drive, I started pondering all of this stuff, and I was like, “Hey ! I have a great EASY idea ! All my buddy needs to do is go 100% Keto ! That would be the answer to everything ! He could lose another 80lbs without even trying ! Kick his diabetes completely aside, and just live happily ever after” !
And I was SO ready to just call him as soon as I had cell phone reception with the great news ! Actually was feeling a little excited.
But after a little bit, I thought to myself… Most people, including my friend, cant just “flip a switch in their head” and go hog wild with things the way I do Maybe my friend (and for that matter, many people) could not just jump right into Keto, and easily lose 80 more lbs.
I guess this post is kind of an extension to my post, “Keto must be really hard for normal people”… because as much as I love and respect my friend, he is “quite normal”…compared to myself. Dammit, if only I could rub off a little bit of my OCD on him, at least concerning diet…
