How long you talkin about?

Anyway, that's one reason I like keto.. feels easy for me. Really, I lost all of my weight with keto in the first 18 months or so, and it's been a terrible juggling act ever since with varying degrees of success. I originally stopped for dumb reasons.. primary driver being developing a beer habit and wanted to get into craft beer. Turned into a passion but also, obviously wreaked havoc on my goals.

I guess my question for you Hulk is have you thought about something that you can sustain. Keto is a quick fix imo, and allows for slippage too easily. I talked about my Thursday binge. Here was yesterday:

No breakfast, just a cup of coffee.
Played two hours of tennis at 10.
Had a sausage breakfast burrito and water.
Drank some water and gatorade.
Had a slice and a half of pizza.
At 430, played 2 more hours of tennis, drinking water along the way.
Celebrated at a friend's house: Had 2 miller lite's and 2 ranch waters. The ranch waters are only 80 calories a can.

Was able to be social, eat fairly bad, but since I was moving and active all day, it went right through me. Had no snacks after that pizza, just the alcohol.

Dude, I get it. Food is the devil to me. Instead of playing tennis or going to lift, I would much rather sit on the couch with a bag of Lay's Chips and a bowl of sour cream and enjoy my evening.

But I am pushing 46, and if I don't make some changes now, it will never happen. I am down 13 pounds since January 1st, and I move better on the court, my recovery is much better, and I feel better. It's like a drug. It makes me want to drop the other 15 or 16 lbs and get down to 175. I still eat what I want, when I want. However, I have changed my lifestyle to eating chicken and veggies at lunch, not eating breakfast (except coffee), and not snacking after dinner. I feel better, I am not overeating, and I feel like I have jumpstarted my system a bit.

Keep at it. I never posted in these threads but I have lurked on this board forever (and when this thread was on the food board), and I have seen your pictures, your progress, your pitfalls. Keep at it man. When you want to eat, drink some water. When you want to binge, think about being able to run around with your kids in 10 years and travel and do the things you want to do.

You can definitely make the change. You will definitely continue to slip up. Just start reducing the slip ups, get moving more, and good things will happen.
