#intermittentfasting — Public Fediverse posts

awaiting a reboot off spinning rust, I just wanna use this opportunity to say that this #intermittentfasting is total bullshit. today is a month since I've switched to one meal at the end of the day, copious amounts of biking and walking (well, limping is more like it) around of a pretty large dude and the grand total change is FUCKING ZERO.

most days are sub 1500 kcal and there are even trip-digit ones; should be imploding from calorie deficit, what do I fucking live off air?!

I WANTED GOD BY FRIDAY 💎

When I was young, I wanted the truth passionately.

I read all the books.

I listened to all the teachers.

I really tried to meditate.

I tried to forgive, though it was traditional forgiveness rather than ACIM forgiveness.

I had tried hard to become peaceful.

Ha!

Sometimes I even became quite good at the practice.

Then pride would enter the field and ravage everything.

It was not real yet.

I was too busy being young.

Too hungry.

Too frightened.

Too unhappy.

Too caught in the body, the world, sex, food, ambition, approval, and the endless hope that something or someone outside me would finally make life feel complete.

Preferably by Friday.

Unbeknownst to me, I was trying to get out of life before I had properly lived it.

That was a mistake.

Young people are not supposed to spend all their time trying to escape the world.

They should be f**king each other.

Making new art.

Creating new music.

Building new things.

Making old mistakes.

Loving badly, then better.

Getting their hearts broken.

Buying furniture that they already know they will regret.

Learning what matters by wasting enormous amounts of time on what does not.

That is practically the entire curriculum.

The practice came later for me.

Much later.

Not because I finally became spiritually special.

Because I finally became ready.

The body changed.

Appetite changed.

The need to be someone began to loosen its grip.

Life had already had its way with me.

Repeatedly.

Profoundly.

Without asking anybody’s permission.

And now, near the end of this life, looking toward the exit does not feel dramatic or sad.

There is no white robe.

No celestial choir.

No soft lighting.

It feels simple.

I am already halfway there.

I may as well breathe consciously and enjoy the view.

ROBINZZ3: THE TRILOGY

I have somehow ended up with three Mastodon accounts.

All called Robinzz3.

All looking like me.

All technically different people.

This is the sort of thing computers do while insisting they are making life easier.

The newest Robin lives at Aus.social, where I have been given 3,000 characters per post.

This is excellent news for me and possibly alarming news for everyone else.

The old Robin has 67 followers.

The new Robin has four.

And yet the new account is already getting more attention, which suggests follower numbers may be less important than being in the right room.

So I am going to stay here for a while and see what happens.

There will be no dramatic migration ceremony.

No digital removal van.

No small brass band playing as my followers are transferred across the internet.

For now, the three Robins will simply coexist.

One active.

Two increasingly historical.

A small federation of me.

One practical detail:

If you followed me on one of the old accounts, you will need to click Follow again here.

Mastodon does not assume that because you followed one Robin, you are ready for all available Robins.

Probably wise.

Anyway, this is the new account.

Same man.

Same breathwork.

Same opinions.

More letters.

THE PEDESTAL & THE PITCHFORK

When harm appears, it should be named.

Sometimes a door must close.

Sometimes the truth must be spoken plainly.

Sometimes, consequences are necessary.

Forgiveness does not deny what happened.

It does not call harm love.

But condemnation is not clarity.

And worship is not love.

The one behaving badly is still a human being, not the sum of the harm.

The one called a saint does not become greater because others kneel before his image.

One is not a monster.

The other is not an idol.

The halo and the horns are both projections.

Harm can be stopped without hatred.

Goodness can be honoured without worship.

No one needs to be made more or less than human.

Just clear sight, firm boundaries, and a heart left free.

CLIMBING DOWN

#Hirayama, in #Perfect Days, is not a failed climber.

He is someone who saw the #ladder clearly and stopped obeying it.

That is a very different thing.

The world keeps whispering: more #status, more #usefulness, more #achievement, more #improvement, more #proof that the self is becoming something.

No one has to #whip us anymore. We do it internally and call it ambition.

Hirayama’s freedom is not that he cleans #toilets. That could easily be another prison.

His freedom is that he is not using his life to become impressive.

Water does not need to win.

The useless #tree does not need to justify its #existence.

And “I need do nothing” does not mean sitting around uselessly. It means I do not need to #manufacture a self.

The #body can #clean, #breathe, #walk, make #coffee, light #fires, put #shoes on, feed #dogs, and #love the ones nearby.

But there does not have to be a grand inner project of becoming #Worthy

Simple living is not automatically #holy.

Low status is not #awakening.

A small life can still be full of #grievance, vanity and comparison.

But a life without #comparison ?

That is #freedom.

Maybe the real act is not #climbingdown.

Maybe it is stopping the argument with where I am.

#CHARM IN THE MIRROR

I was brushing my #teeth this morning, looking in the mirror, and suddenly saw him.

The eternal poser.

The little self still arranging the face, checking the #expression, preparing for an #audience that was not even there.

Not #evil. Not #shameful.

Just old machinery.

Self for self, performing to a dreamed-up #crowd

And all I could give him was:

“Oh, there you are.”

Then I carried on #breathing and brushing my #teeth.

The #toothbrush was real enough.

The #mirror was real enough.

But the #spell in the mirror had already lost its #lustre.

So this isn’t a post about dieting but about #facebook nazies.

I have decided to do #intermittentfasting. I’ve just finished #menopause which has been just ‘fun’ 🙄. I’ve put on the excess weight and I have to work out what to do. My parents, in their 80s, have done #it and it seems to work when you have terrible metabolism.

I joined #bodyfast, German, pretty good, did a sample a year ago and it kind of works for me.

Just for your info #IF is not about counting calories, they say it very clearly when you join don’t do it. It isn’t about stopping people eating what they like, they made that pretty clear.

So they tell me i SHOULD JOIN THEIR #FACEBOOK. I did. I hate Facebook and really should just shut it again. I opened it to sell furniture while moving to Perth.

So Facebook says share a photo I have taken and introduce myself, so I did.

I’m quite proud of this #christmascake it looks pretty good.

OMG the questions: why did you share this picture? Do you know how much sugar is in fruitcake. Long diatribe of how bad this is. What was I thinking?

So I left the group. Facebook asked why and I said I didn’t like the members.

Do you like my fruit cake?
