Know yourself through diet

Apple on the note

Even if you are not on a particular diet、If you count people who are careful about their weight and calories,、Most people must be at least interested in dieting.。When it comes to dieting, it's easy to get caught up in just losing weight.、If you just want to lose 1-2 kg in a short period of time、I think anyone can do it (as long as they are healthy)。What is difficult is、over a long period of several years、Appropriate diet (not just weight)、This will help maintain a good overall physical condition.。

It's only been 8 months since I started my diet.、I don't think you understand how difficult it is yet.、Even just for a period of time、I experienced quite a lot。The first is、Up until now, I had been too ignorant and indifferent about my own body.。
It's not just about calories and nutrition.、About food、About meals and cooking、Physiology such as digestion and absorption、exercise and physiology、About the desire to eat and its psychology、pure ignorance。Even the price of food is sometimes directly linked to diet.、was completely uninterested。
Even a small fasting 1、You can quickly lose about 2 kg of weight.。But half a year、1year and、How to maintain your diet while staying healthy、I've come to realize that it's impossible without a minimum level of knowledge and the ability to observe your own body.。Regarding how this relates to my own way of life.、Somehow I started to feel a sense of meaning.。

If you think about it、How could I have remained so ignorant about my body?、First of all, it's because you're healthy.。If so、We just have to continue with our daily routine.、Even if I was told during a medical examination that I was at risk for metabolic syndrome.、There is no need to go on a diet that can be called inhuman in a sense.。People who are currently healthy will become “even more” healthy.、What does it mean to the person himself?、It is natural to have doubts and objections.。

But、Thinking about it one more step、What works and how does it maintain your current health?、You can't tell by just looking at your current state of health.。people are fickle。eating too much、Drinking too much is commonplace。Of course there are changes due to age.。Is it good or bad to stay healthy even through these things?。If there is no proper knowledge、You may even endanger your own health someday.。Excessive walking and muscle training are also common stories.。
Diet is one way to know yourself、And I finally started to realize that.。

“Tulip Pot” Tempera 2021

Here 1,2during the month、I was asked several times, “Did you lose weight?” and “Did something happen?”。This means that the effects of the diet are beginning to show in the appearance.。Diet since the end of October last year、Still continuing – currently going back and forth between 62.5 and 63.5 kg。My physical condition is very light.。Please rest assured。I was 169cm tall when I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.、74kg (69 kg before corona)、I have lost around 6kg compared to before the coronavirus.、It's been a long time since I've returned to my high school weight.。Weight loss is invisible、As my waist circumference started to decrease、This change is probably visible to those around you.。

It is said that if your weight decreases by 1kg, your waist circumference will decrease by approximately 1cm.。I thought it was real.、My abdominal circumference has actually shrunk by almost 10cm.。All my previous pants were baggy.。All belts must be cut 10 cm in order to be usable.。Although the thickness of subcutaneous fat around the navel does not change much,、below that、The amount of fat that sometimes made it painful to bend forward has disappeared completely.。Even if you are diagnosed with metabolic syndrome、I didn't really feel overweight.、Wearing baggy pants、On the contrary, I feel like I can see more clearly what my body looked like before the checkup.。

The most pleasant change that I didn't expect was、“Sleeping pills” are no longer necessary.。I have written about “exploding sound syndrome in the head” before.、In short, a stubborn and stubborn sleep disorder has been really tormenting me for a long time.。That's、Finally in the past month、I've started to be able to sleep without taking medication (though it's only been a month)。This may be the effect of walking。
Originally, the (second) purpose of my diet was、It was also for my obese son.。Any child、○○ prohibited etc.、It's better to do ○○、I tend to resist commanding statements and guidance (I myself do this).。Especially since I have metabolic syndrome、Oh Shiroda、This is better、No matter what I say, there's no way they'll listen to me.。So、(Of course, my health comes first) I have personally experienced and verified the effects of dieting.、material visible to him、I also wanted to be a kind of guinea pig.。

At the metabolic syndrome screening venue、This is an ostentatious imitation of a lump of fat marked with ``1 kg'' and ``3 kg.''。I secretly held 3 kg in my hand.、I tried applying it to my stomach。That heavy "unpleasant weight (if it were gold or platinum! It might be so heavy that you can't stand up)"。That's 2、Three of them disappeared from my body - that comfort、It feels like the joy of climbing when you stand on the top continues forever.。
I don't want to put two of those things on my body again.。That's my current state of mind。

Thoughts from one day's CG diary

2005Diary of December 31st

About 20 years ago, CG picture diaries looked like this (copied from data)。Before that, my picture diary was drawn in a sketchbook.)。Up until then, I was a lazy writer when it came to writing diaries.、Until my son was able to write his own diary.、It was a picture diary that I, as a parent, started to write down.。
It was a quick way to show it to the person who couldn't read yet, but it was a quick way to show it every morning.、When I tried it, I realized that there was no extra pressure on myself to create a "diary" where I didn't write about myself.、A homepage and picture diary with him as the main character、From just before he entered kindergarten until he graduated from junior high school、I was able to keep it interesting beyond my expectations.。
An artist friend of mine、I have an administrative contact book for my son's kindergarten.、Only one book in the world、Have fun、interesting、I was shown how it had been dramatically re-created as a precious record of growth.、It all started when I received a lot of inspiration.。

My son is ``born?'' good at computers.、When he was an older child in kindergarten、It is true that he was already my "computer teacher".。Due to the need to input Roman characters、I was the one who taught him the alphabet, ``Aiueo''、From there, he searched the internet on his own.、I absorbed more and more necessary knowledge.。

“Press any key” When the words appear on the computer screen、As a kindergartener, he immediately said, ``This means press a certain key,'' and I listened again.。Computers at that time were Windows. 3.0 mosquito 3.1 It should was。windows exploded 95 3 or 4 years ago。Even though I don't even know a single English word yet.、I can already understand the meaning of many English sentences just by feeling.、What I was using was、I think it's amazing even now that I think about it。
but、In fact, there are probably many parents who have had similar experiences.。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、In fact, I think most parents are like that.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Children's abilities are extraordinary。They're like human-sized IPS cells.。You can be anything、Never over。Even on our parents' side、I'm sure it was like that when I was a child.。
-but、Why was this ability not developed? One of the reasons is the parents' responsibility.。The other thing is society's responsibility.、It is meaningless to consider these two separately.。In other words,、This means that it is the social environment, including parents, that deprives children of their abilities.。
however、It's not just about the immediate environment,、history、From things that include a time axis such as folklore、Humanistic environmental axis such as ideology and education、A huge space that includes all the spatial axes such as the natural environment in which you were born and raised.、it's mighty。I wrote "parental responsibility"、While struggling within such a huge thing, we can change the environment just a little.、This is too difficult for the parents individually.。

That's why、“It can’t be helped” is not enough.。including those of us who are already elderly.、Because the future of all people's ability to become anything depends on it.、It is true that there is no other way but to change things little by little.。
Although I am close to powerless, I believe that I am not zero.、Taking an ant's step towards a distance that seems infinite。
The fact that the space probe "Hayabusa" spent more than six years traveling back and forth to the asteroid "Ryugu" located 150 million km away touched many people.。Hayabusa is already heading toward a new asteroid for the next decade。If you accidentally、We may no longer be in this world before Hayabusa changes it to Earth again.、It is also true that people change things little by little.。The road to Rome begins with a single step。Rome is closer than Ryugu。
