I start today with weighing 92.2 kg. That means I should weigh 62 kg by end December.
This is how I envisioned my life gonna be in the next 3 months. Firstly I will continue to sleep before 11:00 pm. I think I am beginning to get the hang of it.
When I wake up in the morning I feel so energetic. No more thinking about food. As for the morning exercise, I need to build the momentum by walking for the month of October.
Eating OMAD is so liberating. I feel my digestive system less bloated.
Losing 30 kg is the way to go. I need to be able to run. Not just run but run fast.
Weighing 62 kg, I can wear my old clothes again. That is something I look forward to. I want to look good again.
So here is the deal. I should be thin. I should be able to run 10 km. And as the prime motivator, I should be able to wear my old clothes again.
If I can have all three, I don't need much money. I don't need to eat lunch, I don't need to spend on munchies. Best of all I don't need to buy new clothes to look good.
So being thin is the answer to my lifelong dilemma.
Food is the source of my problem. I am overweight, I have gout and I cannot run. All because I eat a lot. So naturally the remedy is to eat less and less frequently.
Sarah, have you ever notice? The problem that we face maybe complex but the answer is usually simple? The root cause to my problem is the inability to withstand hunger. So the answer is to eat less and less frequently. When I solve that equation, I open up a myriad of possibilities in my life.
Most importantly I feel like a winner without having to spend a bomb. That Sarah is the secret of health and happiness.
Not by going for more and more expensive things. Happiness doesn't have to be that way. Otherwise Bhutan cannot be the happiest country in the Asia with all its shortcomings.

If I look at my life as a Wandering Sufi and a Zen Monk, I have very little need for money. I have no need for God and religion too.
Hahaha this song is on air, Funky Monks by Red Hot Chili Peppers:
Contrary to popular belief a Wandering Sufi and a Zenk Monk are not religious, they are spiritual but they are not pious.
I am like that Sarah, I am spiritual to a certain extend. However I don't regard myself as pious. Far from it is me being God fearing. As I said, I want to be autonomous. I want to minimize as much social conditioning as possible.
What about you baby? What do you want out of your life? Money, everyone can do with some. But truly the greatest assets are health and happiness. I think I nailed it. If you notice, I go against the flow here. At the same time I still make use of the facilities around me. So I fit into the domestic rat model. I become an Urban Scavenger instead of a predator or a prey. I just set my own standard.
So what is the benchmark of health and happiness? None other than being athletic in a ocean of obese and lethargic workforce.
How many out there realized that health and happiness is the endgame but don't have the opportunity and the will to pursue them?
Here I am, prepared in mind and resources to attain the ideals and yet I longed to be a part of the lemmings. Just because it is uncomfortable not to be part of the masses.
------------------------
Although my mission is health and happiness, the underlying theme is to minimize the use of cash. That is the real catch. As long as I am dependent on heavy consumption of money, as long as I am a consumer, I can never be truly free. I made the mistake of thinking that in order to be happy I need to spend. Actually the real joy is to spend less, to eat less and to live in gratitude.
The real happiness is to be able to live below my means. What's the point of slogging day and night to only enrich the merchants? The real winner are those who are the least dependent of money.
However there is a catch. As a domestic rat, I still need all the comfort of the modern facilities. I still need the internet, the technologies of modern living and the ease of urban amenities. The caveat though is I should not spend beyond necessity.
