🌪️ The Lost Ones — A Chapter from NarcFlex

I’m thinking of writing another shit book what do you think?  It’s called NarcFlex—part healing manual, part survival satire, part love letter to those of us who learned to read silence like a second language. It’s for anyone who’s looked at someone they love and thought: “You’re here… but not really.” This post is a preview of one chapter. A rough, beautiful, haunted chapter. It’s about lost partners. Not the ones who die, but the ones who disappear while standing in the same room. --- She doesn’t like praying. Not usually. But today, under the stale light of a school assembly, my daughter closed her eyes and whispered a single wish: “Please, let my dad’s brain disorder go away.” She’s smart enough to see through the noise. She knows the drinking, the drugs, the neglect. But her soul still holds room for a miracle, even when logic tells her otherwise. She prayed for the man who doesn’t pray for her. The man who lived in our home once—physically, at least. While she was self-harmin...

How to lose weight fast

Losing weight fast is not always recommended as it can be unhealthy and unsustainable. However, if you are looking to lose weight in a healthy and effective way, here are some tips:


1. Create a calorie deficit: To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn. Calculate your daily calorie needs and aim to eat around 500-1000 calories less per day.


2. Eat a balanced diet: Focus on consuming whole, nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Avoid processed and sugary foods.


3. Portion control: Be mindful of your portion sizes and avoid overeating. Use smaller plates and bowls to help control your portions.


4. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sometimes, thirst can be mistaken for hunger, leading to unnecessary snacking.


5. Regular exercise: Incorporate both cardiovascular exercises (such as running, swimming, or cycling) and strength training (such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises) into your routine. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.


6. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can affect your metabolism and increase cravings for unhealthy foods. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.


7. Reduce stress: High stress levels can lead to emotional eating. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as practicing yoga, meditation, or engaging in hobbies you enjoy.


8. Limit alcohol consumption: Alcoholic beverages are high in calories and can hinder weight loss progress. Limit your intake or avoid alcohol altogether.


9. Track your progress: Keep a food diary or use a mobile app to track your calorie intake and exercise. This can help you stay accountable and make adjustments if needed.


Remember, losing weight in a healthy and sustainable way takes time and consistency. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making any significant changes to your diet or exercise routine.
