Why Should You Listen To Me? But Without The Snark.

Hello. You shouldn't take advice from people that haven't achieved what they want to sell to you. Obviously their insight hasn't worked for them. Like an overweight dietician. A crazy psychiatrist. A writing teacher that has never sold a book.

I threw some shade at The Haters in my previous Life Update, and unpublished it because it didn't feel right.

Anyway... why should you believe me?

My childhood was drama, neglect and abuse... even as a very awkward adult I was bullied. But I'm well adjusted now. Know how to act. I did the inner work. Either I have no ego, or my ego is solid. I like myself. I keep working on myself.

I won't say I am happy all the time. The world sometimes weighs on me. But I think I have both feet in reality. And sometimes I feel authentic JOY and LOVE for the world.

I was on disability and never had to work again. But for many reasons, mostly to show an example to the kids in my life, I got back to work. I work in a warehouse where I do 30 000 steps per day while lifting packages up to 28kg (60lbs). I am quite proud of this.

The most I ever saw on the scale was 119kg (240lbs). I was afraid of standing on the scale after that. It bummed me out. I kept stuffing myself and drinking after that. So who knows what my max weight was.

Without a medical intervention, I now weigh 86kg (172lbs). Using the techniques I share on this blog. "Surf The Urge" and "Stuff Yourself With Vegetables". The struggle never ends though. I often relapse. But try to get right back to The Routine.

With some relapses I quit WEED in early 2019. Because of a psychotic episode.

With some relapses, I quit NICOTINE in November 2020. After two of my smoking friends got The Big C.

I haven't touched ALCOHOL since July 5th 2024.

I still struggle to GO 100% VEGAN and quit JUNKFOOD, quit COFFEE and quit posting on SOCIAL MEDIA. But I try to see the struggle as a challenge to grow.

I used to be a complete CYNICAL CLOWN. If I can do it, then anyone can. Even you. Especially you. It takes years struggle to change, but I've never been as powerful as I am now at 43 years old. Physically and mentally.


peace! ✌️

Concise Guide To Eating Mostly Plants

A Plant Based Diet is not a Vegan Or Vegetarian Diet. On a Plant Based Diet you get most of your nutrients from plants but allow for a small amount of animal products. ❗️Don't get your nutrition advice from randos like me. Instead, for advice on eating Plants, check out this FREE website:  https://veganhealth.org/ DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING I WRITE.  I started writing this guide at the beginning of my journey. It's a mess, and I now know better. Especially when it comes to supplements. I now take a multivitamin that contains B12, D, Selenium, Iodine... and I take an Omega 3 algea supplement which Plant Eaters anecdotally need. I make sure there is always soup in the fridge that includes Beans or Lentils and Dark Leafy Greens. I still agree with a lot of this advice, but changed my mind on some of it. I advise you to read websites and books by qualified people like: Books: Vegan For Life, Nourish Subscribe to the newsletters of the websites: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health...
