Why I Eat One Meal Per Day

When Barack Hussein Obama, the 44th President of the United States, was in office, he wore the same thing every single day. Ok, not exactly the same thing like he was a character in The Simpsons, but pretty much the same thing every single day. He wore white shirt with a blue or grey suit and he didn’t entertain the idea of switching up this pattern during his 8 years as leader of the free world. Why?

His reasoning was simple. He had so many decisions to make with massive, real world consequences that he didn’t need to lose time or valuable headspace thinking about whether pairing a pastel pink shirt and brown brogues would make him more or less popular with the electorate. He had other things to think about. And so do you. You might not be the U.S President, but if you’re listening to this show, chances are you are a person in business, perhaps even a CEO looking to gain a little balance in a world that is constantly asking you “what’s next”. If that’s you and you’re looking for a little advice and support, you’ve come to the right place.

When I was young, I didn’t have dreams to become the President of the United States. Not only because I had a reasonable understanding of the geography of the situation making it an unlikely dream in the first place, but also because I loved ice hockey and wasn’t willing to sacrifice my time on the ice in the hopes of one day sitting in The Oval Office. Also The West Wing hadn’t come out yet so if I’m honest, I didn’t give it as much thought as this intro suggests…

When I was younger, I didn’t spend too much time thinking about what to wear. What I spent a lot of time thinking about was what I was going to eat. I was a chubby child and children, as we all know since we all were one once, can be cruel. I knew I was a chubby child and I was reminded of it by my peers.

This resulted in food and cravings becoming an obsession well before I knew how to spell the word obsession. Now, I am pleased and relieved to say food cravings do not control my life anymore. I have found simplicity and balance in a world begging me not to. And in this episode, I’m going to explain how.
