This made me smile this morning! Today is day 2 of intermittent fasting. I'm still drinking coffee in the morning, black with a little stevia. Drinking it black with no breakfast usually gives me heartburn so I'll have to see if this will be ok to continue, or if I'll have to save it until I break my fast around noon. It hasn't been a struggle so far! My stomach has that nice, light feeling. I had McDonald's for lunch (a regular meal without the bun due to a gluten intolerance). I ate the fries guilt-free! Dinner was a turkey wrap with Chex mix on the side. It ended up being just over 1,400 calories. My goal is to keep calories around 1,811. I had started losing on that number and it's a good number to keep me from feeling too hungry or deprived. I get rebellious against a diet plan when I start feeling resentful about deprivation and end up quitting. I don't want to feel like I'm being punished. 😆

I thought it would be WAY different considering I haven't been tracking and weighing consistently.

Every time I think I've messed up, I immediately start researching more stringent weight loss methods, like intermittent fasting (which is incredibly difficult - I think I'm oversensitive to its effects or something). I jump on that bandwagon, and inevitably fail. Then I feel like a child. I scold myself, and start over on the original weight loss plan with renewed vigor.

Why do I think, every time, that the impulsive choice will actually work this time? Even as I type this, knowing my own patterns, I'm somehow not convinced that intermittent fasting won't be the magic key that produces results as fast as I would like to see.


Maybe it's one of those things I have to just get out of my system? I have to see for myself, one more time, that intermittent fasting just doesn't fit into my life the way I think it will.

What if I make *gasp* MODIFICATIONS to actually MAKE it doable for me? Like maybe, I only fast on weekdays? I mean, is it still fasting if I've messed with the system? No one gave me permission to take off on the weekends. I don't think Dr. Berg or Dr. Fung would approve. It's all or nothing, right?

Ok. So.

I'll try it this week. I'll start slow and work my way up, because I ALWAYS jump in feet first with the hard stuff. I guess I'm trying to get the hard part overwith. But not this time ... this time I'll start easy and go from there.
