Yes, I know. This is a pretty dramatic title,  but it's not clickbait, honestly.

是的，我知道。這是一個相當戲劇性的標題， 但它不是點擊誘餌，誠實。

2019 has been a very transformative year in my life.

2019年是我人生中轉變很大的一年。

形容詞最高級

Probably one of my toughest,  but I've done a lot to change.

可能是我最難的一個，但我已經做了很多改變。

Really a lot and I wanted to  share that with you in this video.

真的很多，我想在這個視頻裡和大家分享。

I also want to elaborate on this title a little bit.

我還想對這個題目進行一下闡述。

It's not that I changed my life because I lost 20 pounds.

並不是因為我瘦了20斤就改變了我的生活。

我改變了我的生活，我瘦了20斤。

It wasn't even the main goal. It wasn't even on my mind.

這甚至不是主要目標。它甚至不在我的腦海裡。

So I'm gonna tell you what I did to change my life

所以我要告訴你我做了什麼來改變我的生活。

and how I lost those 20 pounds as a result.

以及我是如何是以而失去這20磅的。

However, this is a long story, as you can see by the length of the video.

然而，這是一個很長的故事，從視頻的長度可以看出。

So, if you're a casual viewer and  not interested in the backstory:

所以，如果你是一個普通觀眾，對背景故事不感興趣。

You could click on the time stamp right here,

and that'll fast-forward you to the quicker conclusion.

就能讓你快速地得到更快的結論。

2019 started off absolutely terribly for us.

2019年的開端對我們來說絕對是可怕的。

His illness is quite possibly the worst disease  that I have ever heard of or I can even imagine.

他的病很有可能是我聽過的或我能想象的最嚴重的疾病。

這就是所謂的Chrono Basal Degeneration。

It's a degenerative brain disease and it's horrific.

這是一種腦部退化性疾病，很可怕。

The grief that Martina went through  before her father passed

瑪蒂娜在父親去世前經歷的悲痛。

and the grief that she's continuing to go through now,

But also for me, as a spouse, to see what she's going through.

但對我來說，作為配偶，也能看到她的經歷。

And to tie that in also with Martina's worsening condition,

並將其與瑪蒂娜惡化的病情聯繫起來。

there are all these new symptoms  that are manifesting with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

有所有這些新的症狀是表現與Ehlers -Danlos綜合症。

And it's really challenging for the both of us.

而這對我們兩個人來說真的是挑戰。

It's very difficult for me as a spouse to see this

作為配偶，我很難看到這一點。

and I'm not sure if I handled all this well.

我不知道我是否處理好了這一切。

So, for starters, I made this primary decision

所以，首先，我做了這個主要決定。

to try to fix myself, to try to improve myself,

試圖修復自己，試圖改善自己。

It's immensely frustrating that I can't do anything to help Martina's condition

這是非常令人沮喪的，我不能做任何事情，以幫助瑪蒂娜的病情。

and that I couldn't do anything to help with her father.

而且我不能做任何事情來幫助她的父親。

And this feeling of helplessness  is super f____ing frustrating.

而這種無助的感覺，是超級f______的挫敗感。

Truly. And so I didn't want to just sit with it.

真的。所以我不想就這樣坐以待斃。

And so I figured, let me put my energy  into trying to make myself better.

所以我想，讓我把精力放在努力讓自己變得更好上。

And so the first thing that I started  to do was I got back into reading.

所以我開始做的第一件事就是我重新開始閱讀。

That's what I used to do a lot when I was younger.

then that pretty much went to the sideline as I just focused on YouTubing.

然後，幾乎去了邊線 因為我只是專注於優步。

So this year I decided.  Hey, I'm gonna really try reading again.

所以今年我決定  嘿，我真的要再試著讀書了。

And amongst the many interesting books I read,

而在我讀過的眾多有趣的書中。

其中一個叫 "我們為什麼睡覺"。

It's a book all about sleep, by like the number one scientist when it comes to sleep, Matthew Walker.

這是一本關於睡眠的書，由像頭號科學家 當談到睡眠，馬修沃克。

If you don't have time to read it, I'm just gonna give you a really short note on it.

如果你沒有時間看，我就給你一個很簡短的說明。

if I want to be healthier, if I want to be stronger,  if I want to think clearer, if I want to be more alert

如果我想變得更健康，如果我想變得更強壯，如果我想想得更清楚，如果我想更警覺。

then having a good night's sleep is very important.

那麼擁有一個良好的睡眠是非常重要的。

And I realized that I had a bad habit that really got in the way of that,

我意識到，我有一個壞習慣，真的很礙事。

that I just learned about through the book,

Alcohol really, really messes with your sleep.

酒精真的，真的會擾亂你的睡眠。

And so I decided, why don't I just try cutting it out?

所以我決定，我為什麼不試著把它剪掉呢？

I'll still drink on special occasions for events or like birthdays or whatnot.

我還是會在特殊的活動場合或者像生日什麼的喝。

But back in the day, hell,  even just like back a few months ago,

但在以前，地獄，甚至就像幾個月前。

Not heavily, but just a glass here, maybe another glass there.

不是很重，但只是這裡喝一杯，也許那裡再喝一杯。

And I realized hey, maybe this is a bit too much.

我意識到，嘿，也許這有點過了。

And to be honest I feel a lot better for it, truly!

說實話，我也是以感覺好多了，真的!

The benefit that you would get  from drinking, that little feeling,

喝酒後會得到的好處，那點感覺。

that is not nearly as good as the clarity  that I feel the next day from not drinking.

這還不如我第二天不喝酒後感覺到的清晰。

There was a sluggishness that  came with me into the next day

有一種遲鈍感，伴隨著我進入第二天的生活

as soon as you're in your 30s, when you get a hangover,

只要你在你的30多歲， 當你得到一個宿醉。

None of this greasy stuff in the morning!

There is nothing that could stop you  from suffering the pain of a brutal hangover!

沒有什麼能阻止你承受殘酷宿醉的痛苦!

而且隨著年齡的增長，情況會越來越糟。

Honestly, I cut out drinking and I don't miss it.

說實話，我戒酒了，我不想念它。

The second change is I do intermittent fasting.

第二個變化是我做間歇性斷食。

Pretty much I only eat from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

差不多我只從下午2點到晚上10點吃飯。

and then I just drink water from  10:00 p.m into 2:00 p.m. the next day.

然後我就從晚上10點喝水到第二天下午2點。

I've read so much about it,  about the major benefits over longevity.

我看了很多關於它的資料，關於它比長壽的主要好處。

And honestly, I don't think we  need to eat three full meals a day.

而且說實話，我覺得我們不需要一天吃三頓飽飯。

Back in the day, like 200 years ago,  we'd be lucky if we ate one meal a day!

在以前，就像200年前，我們一天能吃一頓飯就已經很幸運了!

I kind of think that we might be eating a bit too much.

我覺得我們可能吃得有點多了。

And I found that, hey, cutting out breakfast—

I actually don't feel too bad for it. I feel a little bit better.

其實我並不覺得太糟糕。我感覺好一點了。

而現在我發現，當我吃早餐的時候。

whenever I'm out somewhere on occasion, like a hotel, you always want to eat a free hotel breakfast,

每當我偶爾出去某個地方，比如酒店，你總想吃一頓免費的酒店早餐。

So I like this kind of feeling  that I have going on right now.

所以我喜歡我現在的這種感覺。
