DEREKS TASKS:

week1: 16/8 fasting - so far so good. a bit tricky sometimes with time schedules. flexibility is a must to avoid starvation

week 2: Bob's Water Bottle - easy, but big gains in keystone habit forming

week 3: Josh's instagram food diary - I am tasked with taking a picture of every thing that enters my mouth. This is meant to increase awareness (and I suspect it would) rather than shame.

week 4: Philip Beattie says go shopping - preparation. make sure you go shopping and have healthy choices in the fridge for when you are hungry - Derek will shop every Sunday and Thursday specifically for healthy snack options.
