How I Used Intermittent Fasting To Lose 15 Pounds and Regain Control of my Eating Habits.
The year was 2020 and stepping on a scale for the first time in 3 years, what I saw staring back at me was a number that I hadn’t seen before. For the first time in my 30 years on this planet, I had passed the 200 lb mark. Now, I am roughly 6 feet tall and have been middle-of-the-road skinny-fat for as long as I can remember. I am an avid runner but always have had no control when it comes to portion sizes or calorie intake in general. I always viewed my running habits as a way to make sure I could eat like a total idiot, and at least maintain the weight I was accustomed to, in this case about 190 lbs. This cycle has allowed me to continue to eat like a teenager as I aged, but like all good things it was only a matter of time until that ended, and apparently, that was at the tail end of 2020.

An Argument Against Returning To The Office
In the last couple of months, I have read article after article espousing the glorious return to offices around the world. They talk of all the ailments that people working from home supposedly suffer. These include decreased social interaction, feelings of loneliness, isolation, additional stress, and lack of work-life balance. So, while all of those are entirely valid for certain people, they are not a blanket in the way they are being portrayed. They apply especially to people who have kids, live alone, or are more dependent on office the office to supply their social interaction. In my experience, this seems to apply more to older generations who have grown accustomed to being in an office. So, while these can be true, I think that it’s not fair to ignore younger employees who might have an entirely different outlook. I am just over 30, and for me, a return to the office sounds about as much fun as being waterboarded, and I’ll tell you why.
