If at 58 years old I'd let myself go so far that I couldn't demonstrate to the world through my example that I was a worthy mate and I didn't want to be anybody's mate I didn't want to burden anyone with the failure that I saw myself as.

In fact people often declined service they really need and then later get very upset with me when their car breaks down as I warn them it would for not properly fixing the car in the first place and then once I show them how I tried to sell them the additional service that they needed but wasn't absolutely required at the moment they tend to become a customer for life and I'm back to building those relationships again and I really do enjoy that.

Why am I telling you this? Because these are countries where it's relatively easy for even a fat man who just has a job a car and a house to meet women way outside of his league if they had been in the United States and still I refused to do that.

I want to inform you of my successes my failures my pitfalls how I overcame plateaus how it's changed my life by changing myself from within.

Let's not concentrate on just the weight loss though I believe I'll hit my weight loss goal by the end of December and today it's July 13th so I believe that's reasonable as long as I'm strict which I will be.

I eat carnivore most days and “cheat" by eating ketogenic on “cheat days" but I never exceed my BMR in total caloric intake, nor do I exceed 35 grams of carbs on cheat days. I ALWAYS make sure that my carb intake includes a 90% equivalency of fiber. So, a 10 gram carb tortilla wrap for my keto breakfast burrito has at least 9 grams of fiber.

I haven't dated for the last 7 years not because I haven't wanted to it's just that I had this high standard and I literally refused to date any woman that would date the fat me.

So, about 350 cals of energy and that takes me to my meal just fine.

Or maybe you might find a little motivation in my words and you'll find that you have come to the place and time in your life where you want to make that change and you want to go on the journey with me if that's you please don't hesitate to contact me I want to hear from you and I want to commiserate with you.

After 70 years of the crappiest computers ever made, why does IBM exist?

At other times I wouldn't be able to turn around and properly take care of myself after my morning throne time I literally could not twist my body in a way that allowed me to put my hand behind myself and take care of business.

My pimply blotchy complexion on my face neck chest and back has completely cleared up I'm no longer using the medications I got for my doctor the antibiotic liquid medication I spread on the back of my neck and chest every morning It just gone I may have one or two little blackheads but when I rub my own chest in the back of my shoulders with my hand I can't believe how smooth my skin is and I don't have any blotchiness on my face though I still do suffer from rosacea.

If you could go back and rewrite the Legend of Korra, what would you change, and why?

I understand that's a psychological issue for me and that's my own perspective and I've been with some amazing women in my life and all of my ex-wives are absolutely gorgeous lovely decent women, well okay the first one's not but that's another issue She was gorgeous lovely when I met her She kind of let herself go even worse than I did but I'd still meet them all again and marry them all again because they are right for me at the time I met them if it sounds like I'm talking about a lot of women I'm not I've been married three times.

They even more important than my complexion is that from head to toe when I would wake up every morning I would not be able to move My hips would be frozen My feet would be absolutely painful to walk on from what I had been told was plantar fascitis I have two torn rotator cuffs in both one and each shoulder and the pain in my left shoulder was sometimes so bad that I couldn't even turn the lamp on in the morning when I woke up

I'm a 58 year old man.

I know that sounds shallow but I wanted to be able to date a woman that had a higher standard for herself.

Not as dramatic as I would like but definitely noticable by me.

I felt so low about myself that even when I would travel to Asia I wouldn't subject the women there to me because I knew that they'd be dating me only because they thought there might be a path to a better life for themselves and I don't blame them for that In fact I absolutely understand why they feel the way they do it's not like they have lower standards when they choose a fact obese ugly American they truly believe they're trading up from the options that they have a lot of these women even have college degrees but they just can't meet the right man especially when they get to be over 25 years old as their society shuns women who are older.

In addition to starting a carb restricted diet which was the best decision of my life by the way a few months before I started the diet I gave up all alcohol.

I started out at 235lbs 30 days ago. A 16 pound loss in 30 days.

So pay attention to your mind treat your mind gently Get enough sleep everyday set up a beautiful rigorously strict sleep hygiene routine and if you are like me and a job that almost makes that impossible change jobs I was a truck driver leaving on Monday nights and getting 2 hours of sleep and working 18 hours it was an absolute nightmare I was in a cycle of no sleep exhausting work no sleep exhausting work and on my Saturday and Sundays off I would plop on the couch and be unable to move for 36 hours It was just an absolute nightmare and if you say there's nothing else you can do well you're wrong but for now if you believe you can't then you're right you can't but if you decide you can again you're right you can come to my YouTube channel “Sounds & Scenes” (search term: “Sounds & Scenes wind rain space synth” Will take you right to my channel just the name won't because YouTube sucks)

For years I wanted to go back to my profession as a salesman but I felt embarrassed from being so fat that I didn't want to present myself to people as an expert when I couldn't demonstrate through my looks that I was an expert in taking care of myself How could I be an expert in any field if I couldn't even take care of my own body?

So in addition to my weight loss I've began daily meditation, hypnosis, subconscious positive affirmation music therapy, white noise nature therapy I don't go to sleep now without some theta band binaural beats playing lowly in the background or listening to a good YouTube hypnotist gently put me to sleep with my playlist set to go automatically to soothing binaural beats low frequency music after they put me to sleep often I'll use hypnotism to boost confidence to boost happiness to boost my manifest destiny.

So as you can see I'm rambling but weight loss just for 30 days has changed my life and so many ways it's allowed me to regain my self-esteem and feel like there's a path to the future of a healthier me a more attractive me and a happier me.

I know that anybody in that position could easily change that position but they have to be ready to change it and more than that they may be perfectly happy in the position they are in so it's not for me to judge but I know for me it's not right and I would hope for others that feel it's not right for them and they found themselves in a cycle that has led to the different familial and psychological problems that you've identified in my comment and if there's any similarity between the feelings and experiences I'm explaining and you I want you to know there's hope.
