I woke up with GREAT Difficulty. IF did not help on my first day of my period and that "groggy, I can't get enough sleep" feeling I get every month.
But, I started out this morning with full intention on continuing IF, with doubt that I should be. I didn't eat my first meal until 11:45, and couldn't even wait another 15 minutes for my eating period. And what is 15 minutes really?
So I ate my lunch, which was satisfying. Then something happened. All those chocolates, jelly beans, trial mix, etc. started looking REALLY good. And I caved. I caved hard.
I left work, stopped at a store and happened to see Sugar Free chocolate covered almonds. So I caved on those too. I was so stressed out about going to my TOPS meeting and weighing in, that I ate those things all the way to the meeting, where I showed a 3 pound gain. NO surprise there.
So I believe it is safe to say that I DO NOT belong on an Intermittent Fasting strategy. I will continue to eat when hungry, and no other time.
I feel good having done this experiment, because that is another "what if" that I can scratch off my list.
Been there, done that.
