- Dunno. Strange question.
Thanks for that. I completely agree - experimentation (? Did I understand you correctly ?) is a good way to go with this. Taking a light mental approach to this. I'm loosening my grip, having heard back from Dr. Taylor's office. Seems they get fairly good results still with people up to 10 years diabetic, so while I feel a burning need to work hard, I also know...this has to be for life. I meant that to lose 100 lbs will take up to 2 years. I can't see it happening in a year, though some do it. I might surprise myself.I'm not sure how remaining working life is a big thing in any of this, as hopefully you have many, many more functional years ahead of you.
Of course, we're all different, but when manking changes for myself, or when talking to others about Change (I worked for many years in Structural and Cultural Change), if I look at a temporary "experiment", I always ask myself, what I would do if I found that rally worked, having already identified I couldn't sustain it.
Notwithstanding any of that, one change at a time is the way forward in my life. I find that gives me clear, robust metrics from which to make decisions.
Currently tightening the program and now following the protein shakes and 200 g of veg daily for the next eight weeks. Plus working out 2-3 times a day, which is my modus operandi. A workout is either cardio or weights. My third workout is swimming, when the pool on our compound is warm enough...which is now.
