I'm day three into my IF. 11am-7pm eating window, the remaining 16 hours fasting. It's hard because I'm a night owl so I like eating at night but it's thrilling to know I've practised self control for 3 days! It's like willpower training. That enough keeps me going. Also the fact that I tell myself that fat is burning so keep on pushing! Hahah.
Anyway, this is what I ate yesterday. I also had panda express which isn't ideal because I am broke and don't want to buy food out but I was slightly peckish at 6:09pm and worried that if I didn't eat now, the rest of the evening would be terrible. Usually it wouldn't be that bad I guess because I'd sleep in hunger and forget about it, but I basically pulled an all nighter and didn't got to bed until 5am the next morning. Wow. Thinking about that now I was awake for 10 hours of no eating. Another encouragement that I really can control my relationship with food!
But looking at all this food, I know I consumed under 2000kcal which is good. It's good seeing it all at once. Without the panda express it would have been maybe 1500kcal. That was the intention for the day's meal. My goal is to be more consistent with the minimal calories (trying to make a deficit) and just get to bed on time. Again, I don't mind sleeping "hungry"... I say hungry quoted because I am probably not really hungry but rather my mind is just used to always eating food. This too shall pass.
