  8. MAN DISCOVERS PORTION CONTROL
    LESS FOOD, SAME IDIOT 💎

    I’ve been fasting for several years now.

    Not because I possess extraordinary discipline.

    I just discovered that eating all day was making me fat, tired, and remarkably committed to the sofa.

    These days I eat breakfast and brunch within a 4-hour window each morning, usually between 7 am and 11 am.

    Then I fast for about 20 hours until the following morning.

    I didn’t leap heroically into that routine.

    It took me about two years to gradually reduce my eating window from 8 to 4 hours.

    Even my self-denial had to be introduced slowly.

    The surprising thing is that my body now seems to prefer it.

    I’ve lost weight without spending my life thinking about losing weight.

    I sleep deeply.

    Walking uphill is easier.

    Getting dressed is easier.

    My balance is better.

    And I can now turn over in bed without requiring the maneuvering space of a small container ship.

    People ask whether I get hungry.

    Usually, no.

    Sometimes I feel like eating, but I’ve discovered that hunger and the urge to put something in my mouth aren't necessarily the same thing.

    Apparently, my body is perfectly content.

    My mouth just misses having a full-time job.

    I’m not suggesting everyone should do this.

    I’m not a fasting expert.

    I’m merely an elderly man who finally stopped eating long enough to discover that he feels better when he isn’t constantly digesting something.

    For me, fasting has become less about food and more about freedom.

    I Never Hated Myself Into Change

    If you’ve ever stood in front of the mirror criticizing your reflection… If you’ve ever promised yourself that this would be the Monday you finally got your life together… If you’ve ever believed that being harder on yourself was the key to becoming healthier… I want you to know something. I’ve been there. For years, I believed that if I was just disappointed enough in myself, I would finally change. I thought self-criticism was motivation. I thought guilt would create […]

  17. Decoding Balck Coffee

    Black coffee is one of those beverages that stirs up quite a bit of controversy. Some swear by it as the ultimate health elixir, while others shy away from it, believing it to be a harsh, acidic drink that can do more harm than good. With so much conflicting information, it’s time to separate fact from fiction and decode the myths surrounding this bold and beloved beverage.

    Whether you’re a seasoned coffee drinker or just curious about what the fuss is all about, understanding the truth behind black coffee can help you make informed choices about how it fits into your health and lifestyle.

    Myth 1: Black Coffee is Bad for Your Health

    The Reality: Let’s get this one out of the way first. Contrary to what some may think, black coffee isn’t the villain of the beverage world. It’s actually loaded with antioxidants that fight free radicals and reduce inflammation. Studies have shown that regular coffee consumption can lower the risk of several chronic diseases, like Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s, and even certain cancers.

    But here’s the catch: it’s the extras you add to your coffee that can make it unhealthy. So, if you’re like me and you prefer your coffee strong and black, you’re already ahead of the game. But if you’re drowning it in sugar, cream, and caramel drizzle, well, you might want to rethink that strategy.

    Myth 2: Black Coffee Causes Dehydration

    The Reality: We’ve all heard it before: “Don’t drink too much coffee; it’ll dehydrate you!” The logic here is that caffeine is a diuretic, which means it makes you pee more. But before you panic and start chugging water, let’s look at the evidence. Studies have shown that while caffeine has a mild diuretic effect, the water content in coffee more than compensates for this.

    So, yes, you might make a few extra trips to the bathroom, but black coffee can still contribute to your daily fluid intake. It’s not like it’s instantly turning you into a shriveled raisin. Just enjoy your cup of joe and remember to stay hydrated throughout the day, coffee or not.

    Myth 3: Black Coffee Is Too Acidic and Harms Your Stomach

    The Reality: As someone who used to hear “coffee is too acidic for your stomach” from well-meaning friends, I can say this: unless you have a sensitive stomach or suffer from acid reflux, black coffee in moderation is usually not a problem. Yes, coffee has a pH of around 4.85 to 5.10, making it slightly acidic, but it’s not battery acid.

    For most people, the acidity in coffee can actually aid in digestion by stimulating stomach acid production. However, if you do have a sensitive stomach, it might be wise to opt for a low-acid blend or have your coffee with food. I’ve found that my stomach handles coffee much better when I pair it with a light breakfast, and that’s a small price to pay for my morning happiness.

    Myth 4: Black Coffee Leads to Insomnia and Anxiety

    The Reality: Ah, the classic “I can’t sleep because I had coffee” dilemma. It’s true—caffeine is a stimulant, and if you drink it too late in the day, it might keep you up counting sheep (or beans). But the impact of caffeine varies from person to person. Some people can have an espresso shot at 10 p.m. and sleep like a baby, while others, like me, need to cut off their coffee consumption by mid-afternoon to avoid the 2 a.m. staring contest with the ceiling.

    Studies suggest that for most people, moderate consumption (3-4 cups a day) doesn’t cause insomnia or anxiety. But if you’re sensitive to caffeine, it’s best to enjoy your coffee earlier in the day and avoid it at least six hours before bedtime. It’s all about knowing your body and adjusting accordingly.

    Myth 5: Black Coffee is Addictive

    The Reality: Okay, let’s get real—I’m not saying I haven’t had a mild panic when I realized I was out of coffee beans, but calling black coffee “addictive” might be a stretch. Caffeine can lead to dependence, sure, and you might experience withdrawal symptoms like headaches or irritability if you suddenly stop. However, this is more like your body saying, “Hey, where’s my usual pick-me-up?” rather than displaying true addiction.

    These symptoms are short-lived and much less severe than those associated with substances like nicotine or alcohol. So, enjoy your cup of coffee guilt-free. You can appreciate the ritual without worrying you’re spiraling into a coffee abyss.

    Myth 6: Black Coffee Has No Nutritional Value

    The Reality: If you think black coffee is just a calorie-free way to get your caffeine fix, think again. While it’s true that it doesn’t contain significant amounts of macronutrients, black coffee is rich in antioxidants and contains small amounts of essential nutrients like magnesium, potassium, and niacin (vitamin B3).

    So, every time you sip that steaming cup of goodness, you’re not just fueling your brain—you’re also giving your body a little nutrient boost. It’s like a tiny, warm hug from the inside.

    Myth 7: You Should Only Drink Black Coffee on an Empty Stomach

    The Reality: The idea that you should only drink black coffee on an empty stomach (or that you should never do so) is one of those myths that seems to go both ways. For some, drinking coffee on an empty stomach can cause discomfort or even make them feel jittery. For others, like myself, it’s a non-issue.

    It really comes down to how your body reacts. If you feel fine having coffee first thing in the morning, go for it. If not, try having it with or after a meal. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here, so listen to your body and do what feels right for you.

    How I Enjoy Black Coffee

    Here’s my personal coffee ritual: I brew a cup of strong, black coffee every morning and sip it slowly while taking in the start of the day. It’s my little moment of calm before the chaos, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I keep it simple—no sugar, no cream, just pure coffee bliss. And it works for me. It gives me that boost I need without the crash that sugary drinks can bring. To me, it’s my favorite “zero-calorie” drink!

    So the next time you sip on a cup of black coffee, you can enjoy it with the knowledge that, contrary to some myths, it can be a part of a healthy lifestyle.

  19. My sister in law started a shared Google Photo Album where we can all add pictures of my father. One of my brother’s friends is going to make a slide show out of them that we will have running at the wake on Thursday.

    I was looking through the album and I had a weird moment where my memory and reality sort of broke apart from each other. There was a picture of me from a couple of years before I had my weight loss surgery. I wasn’t even close to the 450 pounds I weighed when I finally decided to go under the knife, but I was probably 380 pounds or so. I was huge, though not quite as huge as I would eventually get.

    Seeing that picture didn’t phase me in the least. I kept scrolling through the album and I eventually got to a photo from earlier this year. Father’s Day, to be precise. There was a picture of my father with my brother, my sister, and some other guy. I did a double take. The other guy was me. I didn’t recognize myself. It was the same me that I see in the morning now. It was post-surgery, 215-220 pound me. The current me. The new normal, real me. I didn’t recognize me.

    I did recognize the dangerously overweight me as if it were the “real” me.

    That didn’t bother me quite as much as being asked about my mother while talking about my father’s funeral did (as mentioned in a post from earlier today), but it disturbed me a bit.

    Like… who am I? Who is the “real” me? Do I even know? Will I ever know?
