Oh my gosh you guys are awesome! I needed these laughs because I found out I'm not getting the job I put in for at work. I'm not mad that they are going with someone more qualified I understand that. I'm mad that the boys over that position lied to me about it this morning. But it is what it is so I just need to get over it.

Or we could all end up huddled up into fetal balls mumbling to ourselves.
It’s funny you said that, that is exactly what I was doing when I read this.

We did keto for several years. It does get easier as time goes on. We stopped keto years ago but still limit our bread intake to the occasional sub/hero/grinder/hoagie.
Got to have the occasional hoagie . How could anyone live with out one !

You know we wouldn't expect you to be any other way, right?
What other way? There's another way?

I didn't do Keto, but a modified version of it for 6 months back around 25 years ago.

I also did a modified Daniel Fast around 7 years ago. Similar to Keto - stayed away from most grains, ate lots of steak and chicken, ate lots of hummus and carrots. Ate lots of apples and oranges. The fruit is what makes it non-keto I believe?
I believe the Atkins diet was keto before keto became keto.

I lost almost 100 pounds in a year changing only my diet.
I never thought there would be a day where you would impress me. I am happy to report that I am impressed. That's quite an achievement.

No but the basic idea of limited carbs, especially most breads can be a healthy choice long term. I also tend toward diabetes (but I am not diabetic) and it helps to control blood sugars.
Atkins was keto before keto became keto.

Bread and grains in general are not healthy for humans. Our digestive system wasn't meant to digest grains and some vegetables. Hence there is such a prevalence of bowel disorders.
Grains are good for making liquids of a certain kind.

That's not what your wife said
Beat me to it, you dirty dog!

I bottom it out on a regular basis and I don't have dinos. Wait, John, are we talking about the same thing?
That's not what your wife said.

It's Tom so im just more hurt than mad. I mean cmon guys, im a real live person with hopes and dreams.
hopes and dreams GIF
Ok, where is John and what have you done with him?

Your confused, I’m confused, we are all confused together.
I'm not confused. It is one of the benefits of having a different mind.

I have also never been bored. Seriously, I have never been bored and have never understood how anyone could be.
