I'm lost weight, and lowered my blood pressure and improved myself and feel better and you are gung-ho as f*** on convincing me that it "literally means nothing".

I like how you're missing the point that. That is, it will mean nothing in the long run if you don't change your diet to a more healthy diet going forward

I also like how you have dodged the question every single time in this topic when someone asks what your plans are long term. It's been asked multiple times and not once have you answered it and I wouldn't be surprised if you dodge it this time too.

I can't predict the future, I don't know what I am going to do moving forward but I am doing stuff to better myself right now, and anybody who thinks that bettering yourself can "not matter at all" or a person who thinks they know better than a doctor about this is fucking moronic.

Do you guys listen to yourself? If I wasn't doing this I'd be eating shitty food right now all week, and yet I'm doing this instead and it's helped me and made me feel better and a doctor is ok with it, and some of you STILL act like you know better.

Those of you who have hope, any hope of intellectual integrity really reflect on that last paragraph. If you still maintain you are right then I'm just going to tag you as a troll because that represents some willful hostility and stupidity to the point that I don't think I could ever value anything you have to say.

Again A DOCTOR SAID IT WAS OK. and IF I WAS NOT DOING THIS I WOULD BE EATTING SHITTY, therefor THIS IS A GOOD THING AND A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION UNEQUIVOCALLY.

Jesus, some lot of you are dense.

Eating shitty for 51/52 weeks definitely negates completely not even eating for 1/52 weeks.

Right, so as I suspected, you have no long term plan which is the best way to fall right back into what you were doing previously. You also seem to be unable to comprehend that what we are talking about now goes beyond the 7 day fast. Even if we concede that the 7 day fast helps you and your doctor said it's ok, everyone is 100% correct in saying that it won't matter at all because once you go back to your crap diet, you will gain the weight back, your blood pressure will go right back up to where it was, and your progress will be undone. The only moron here is you if you can't see that.

You're also going through the cycle I've seen so many out of shape people do. That being, instead of taking long term sustainable measures to change your lifestyle, you take extreme measures in the short term, see progress, quit that eventually, go back to bad habits, gain everything back, and then claim how you've "tried" but it didn't work.

I hope for your sake that you adopt a more long term mindset.

For some reason I doubt you will.

Right, but you guys weren't critical of me when i was eating shitty, now I'm doing something 100% DEFINITELY BETTER and you ARE being critical.

See the flaw in that logic?

You are literally being critical of a man improving his life because there is a chance he won't improve his life forever.

Your thesis: "If you aren't sure you will continue to improve yourself indefinitely any improvements you make mean nothing".

That is your thesis and you have been repeating it delusional over and over. Can't you wrap your head around how dumb that thesis is? How can you be this dense?

No, they are pretty reasonable on LUE, where i also posted it. Because they aren't daft enough to think they know better than a doctor. Should i add you to the list of the people who subscribe to the stupid person thesis?

LUE? reasonable? Well that's a new one. Guess they have to be now that there's only a handful of active posters at a time.

No wonder this thesis sounds so stupid, a stupid person came up with it and named it after him.

Joe the big take away from everyone arguing is that you did show willpower with this weeklong diet so try to channel that willpower into every day habits. Maybe go for a walk in the morning or at night and listen to a podcast. Instead of ordering a large pizza, get a small. Try incorporating fruit and veggies into at least one meal.

You put no cap on what would be a sufficient duration of time that this would matter, simply that if I ever went back to my old ways "none of this would matter"

And you also don't seem to understand that a fundamental tenant of anybody working with people who struggle with chronic issues is that the dumbest thing you can do is not acknowledge and give credit to forward progress.

It's like an alcoholic who's had a drink everyday for the past 5 years goes a week sober and rather than give him a inch of credit you are just getting off on telling him that "none of this will matter if you go back to drinking". If you started saying that at an AA meeting they would kick you out, and they don't kick out anybody.

Glorious trolling or Darwin award in the making. Either way, I support this.

I am aware of steps like that I can take and am not rejecting them. I did some exercise yesterday. That said when it comes to any exercise recommendations you give me you have to remember that it would be like if you recommended the same thing to yourself while carrying a backpack containing our weight differential. So a half hour walk a day isn't something to be taken super lightly.

Plus I still have mental issues with structure and stuff, which is why I don't want to set myself up for failure and (per my psychologists recommendation) reward the positive forward steps I'm making as opposed to committing to be perfect and likely failing.

The bigger point about this week for me was that I didn't fail, (which is why all this negative shitbirds are so grating). I set out to do something hard and did it, and whatever the future brings I did good this week and I can feel good this week about doing good. Positive reinforcement of positive actions breeds more positive actions, which is why, again, it is so batshit crazy to not feel positive this week because of what MIGHT happen next week.

your doctor, if real, is probably a quack

This is a topic demonstrating what happens to stubborn CEpeople when they are demonstrably proven wrong and rather than ever admit any chance they are wrong they double and triple down on it.

you actually think you saying "my doctor says its okay" proves anything

Yes, it proves my doctor thought it was ok, and since a doctor probably knows a lot more than people talking out of their ass I'd think that matters quite a lot.

Oh, and to repost because one of you sensitive folks didn't like the previous wording

The thesis subscribed to by people behaving stupidly:
"If you aren't sure you will continue to improve yourself FOREVER any improvements you make mean nothing"

No, but seriously, why stop at one week? Why not resort to living a water-only diet for the rest of your life?

I mean, you say you feel fine, right? How 'bout we up the ante and do it for all eternity since food seems to be your worst enemy.

If you fail to do so, then the past week has been for nothing. It's only a temporary feeling of fulfillment, the part your puny little brain doesn't seem to grasp well.

1. Should i mark you down as subscribing to the thesis too?
2. Because the body can only burn fat so long. Water fasts are really good for jumpstarting weightloss and helping with things like blood pressure but then people transition towards a more long term solution, and i just get to transition to that long term solution down like 25lbs, feeling better, and with a decidedly reduced stomach size.

I could continue on longer I suppose, particularly because as of about 20 minutes ago I've completed 100% of the 7 days.

I started on a Wednesday at 2pm and we have hit that again, so a full 168 hours have passed without food and only water.

Fuck you James Franco, 127 hours ain't shit Though to be fair he was in immense pain, didn't have enough water, and couldn't sleep well

WOOOOOO!!!

lol OP is an idiot and in a week he'll 100% rebound with his shitty habits. 1 week/temporary fasts mean nothing for 90% of people cuz they don't have the discipline to keep being healthy.

If they actually had discipline they wouldn't have to resort to these stupid ass fasts. They could just a balanced diet in the first place without starving themselves of vital nutrients....

Yeah but anyone who knows joe knows he wants the results now workout actually working for them. In everything he does. Ever.

Someone at school eas trying to push this on me. Lije if you have to push me to do it and convince everyone you talk to then its probably not good. Not to mention the stress that goes with being hungry.

We haven't heard from TC since 3 days ago. Just when the meltdowns were getting good.

Brother joe, give us an update.

I grew impatient with people insisting they knew better then my doctor and the reality of results that I was experiencing.

Reread how people have been talking. Anybody left here is just being a troll or being hopelessly dense, there isn't much reason to talk to anybody. Considering how you are all but admitting that your motives at least were simply to upset me rather than have any sort of objective discussion, why would you expect me to post in this topic anyway?

I said I'd got on a 7 day water fast, I did, my blood pressure went down and I lost weight. There's not much more to say.

This topic was excellent. I'm sad that the TC is done lying to himself but it was a great read.
---

This topic reminds me, my dad is old and has heart problems so the doctor told him that he can't have red meat anymore. He took this to literally mean rare meat so he'll eat beef but only if it's well -done. He also claims the doctor said this is okay too.

Point is, some people contort reality and will literally only hear what they wanna hear.

You can call it the "smug people who did nothing to improve themselves but gave shit to somebody who did" room and just jerk off each other's egos indefinitely.

Actually, I started eating more veggies and picked up running and weight-lifting. I can now run a mile in less than 8 minutes. You can't just starve yourself, bro.
