“One cannot discover new worlds unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore” I have reached my halfway mark and therefore have decided (as planned) to quit calorie counting. Let’s face it, measuring and weighing everything before you eat it is not normal. As I told Keld some time ago I am very well aware that I may not succeed then, and that I may end up back in front of the drawing board. The thing is, no person should have to do this (calorie counting) indefinitely. What would be the point then in learning to correct past mistakes? When will your knowledge start paying the dividends of your investment? At some point in time your understanding and experience you gained here regarding your eating habits must enable you to fly solo. No websites, counters, and all other whistles and bells that comes with it. You cannot be the co-pilot in your life forever.
If you are used to eating two eggs, two slices of toast and a cup of coffee every morning of your life, does it still make sense to add it to the calorie counter every day? I mean, really...
I will of course still login here often; I will still track my weight every day and try to keep a journal... This is a wonderful website and I hope to be a part of it until China runs out of tea.
So, here goes nothing! Wish me luck :)
What did I learn during my short time on Fatsecret:
1 – I am most certainly not alone
2 – In terms of weight, some people are better off than me, and some are not
3 – I can eat basically anything, just don’t overdo it
4 – Exercise
5 – There are some genuine good people here.
6 – There are very lonely people here
7 – There are people here who like to flatter themselves
8 – There are people on Fatsecret that wish to lose 5 kg
9 – There’s a Carb Monster
Ps. My buddies, you have no idea how much you helped me my friends. I thank you.
