10/1/21 ^^^The ability to withstand hunger

 This is only Day 2.  I need to withstand hunger.  Then I need to withstand carbs.  Carbs are addictive.  The hunger I am experiencing is not real hunger but rather the carbs addiction.  

I need to withstand the carbs addiction so that I go from sugar adapted to fat adapted.  Once I'm fat-adapted, I no longer crave carbs.

How long do I have to wait? About  4 weeks max or the duration of time I quit sugar.  Which is between 10 to 14 days.

This I have to endure because the result is worth it.

I WILL BE LIBERATING MYSELF FROM DOPAMINE FLUCTUATION IF I RESIST CARBS

The main challenge at this moment is to resist nasi lemak.  That happens to be the single most distracting thought as I try to maintain OMAD.

Thankfully the Apple Cider Vinegar is to the rescue. 

Here is the caveat when comes to LCHF.  It doesn't mean when we eat LCHF we totally eliminate carbs from our diet.  We can still go for 20 grams of starch per day,

-------------------------------------

Nowadays, I crave lamb.

I must be lacking a certain essential amino acid.

I am ravenous at this moment.  I better take a short nap.

-----------------------------------------

It all boils down to the ability to withstand hunger.

I cannot wait to be thin again.

As it is, I am enjoying the Iced Dark Roast.  Mainly because the powder can be mixed with cold water and the ice is made of mineral bottled water.  The taste is heavenly considering the quality of water used.

It is very interesting to wait until I no longer crave sugar and carbs.  I imagine it will be a liberation.  No hunger and to urge to.  In the meantime, I got to follow my OMAD LCHF to the hilt.

Let's not be too ambitious this time.  As long as I lose weight every week, that's good enough.  If I lose 1 kg a week, in 3 months I lose 12 kg.  In 9 months I can lose 40 kg.

It is still a worthwhile effort.  I will still achieve my goal to lose 40 kg this year!

It boils down to persistence and perseverance.

Come to think of it, Els is my muse.  I need somebody like her to keep me motivated.  True enough it is limerence.  However, there is no rule saying that I cannot be in limerence as long as it is reciprocating.  So far, I get my dopamine hit from her.  What more do I want?

Furthermore, the relationship is based on her being a sitting duck.  There is no risk at all.  In this case, I am always on the higher ground.

In all situations, I am the seme.

Seme meaning the one who is on top, and Uke being the one on the bottom.
