"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It is a great tool. I did use it in the past with the intention of losing weight but I found it would take a lot of time (as in I had to walk 2-3 hours) --- too time consuming, so I stopped and just stick to runs or the elliptical I have. I do however go on a 1 hr daily walk after diner - this is without fail. It's great, helps the digestion and a few times I week I also encounter interested women and sometimes get a date out of it if they are attractive.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hmm...I would say your diet is the issue then, an hour would be more than enough time to lose weight if you did it consistently. Even a half hour a day would work.

Did you log your food and track it for a period of time? I've found when I don't do this I can go over target calories pretty substantially without much effort.

Oh yeah, this was several years ago when I was in my early 30's and wasn't as restrictive when it came to diet (lol). Liked pasta, pastries (Cannoli) and ice cream too much. Now I just have these things a little and on the weekends. I was 20ish lbs over - so 190. Wasn't too bad but I had started to gain a small belly. I ran the 20lbs off at the time. Now I keep my weight in check through combined exercise and reduced carb intake.

Yes, I log food on the fitbit app.
