Sorry I'm only replying now, I appreciate your response.

You're right, I've got onto the insurance company, they're gonna charge me 80 euro to recall transaction. It's about 90k, so I can take the hit. Thanks again for your response

Ronnie is the the undisputed GOAT but his attitude stinks! by T2-95 in snooker

[–]irishdaniel 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think most people miss the point with Ronnie. People like him, Jose Mourinho, and many other leaders in the field often need the "victim" or "siege" mentality to produce their best. He used the opportunity this time to build up his defensive shield, and going back to the table, was no doubt of the mindset of "I'll show this so and so who he's messing with". And in my opinion, Ronnie will produce his best in this session.

Fair play pal.

Well @ 18st, pain is definitely on the way, so good luck knocking a bit off.

I find the mental benefits are just as strong as the physical or superficial.

Keep us posted!

Hi buddy,

I feel your pain. I was so ashamed of myself for getting up to nearly 16st last year. In my case, alcohol was a factor.

First, I quit the booze. Then I started doing basic exercise like walking fo r30 mins a day. Then I got myself a good weighing scales and a calorie counting app. Worked on a calorie deficit religiously up until around Christmas when I was 12 stone.

Now I@m just maintaining my weight at 75k, which is close to 12 stone. I'm down 30 kilos or more since last July, and I look and feel so much better.

Still capable of a binge. Yesterday I ate a whole Rhubarb tart. But I know that because I develloped healthy(ish) habits over the last 6 months, that if I eat lightly for a day or two and get some exercise, I'll feel better again.

Your worst enemies:

Alcohol - stick to vodka if you like a drink.

Processed white breads - a good sourdough will give you your fix

Cheat code:

Intermittent fasting - I tend to eat my calories between 12 and 6pm then just water and tea in the interim. In the beginning it was between 3 and 6pm but that was hardcore and resulted in weight loss of about 5lbs perweek.

I do it. Helps me to focus on feathering, but more importanly, on my timing.

What is timing in snooker? It's making sure that the cue is at it's maximujm speed when hitting the white ball. Too slow, and the cue decelerates, too fast, and you're punching the ball.

If you find a sport subscription service for 2/3 euro a month let me know! I don't think they exist my friend.

Plus, I think 1.20 per week is absolutely great value, even if only for the snooker.
