Intermittent Fasting

I did IF for about a year before my RNY. I loved it even though I didn't lose a lot of weight. Once I am at goal, I plan to go back. One of the things I liked the best about it was that I felt like I had better control of emotional eating doing IF. I also felt that I didn't have to invest so much time planning for eating, thinking about eating, etc. Sort of freed up my mind, you know? I also realized how much of my day was spent worrying about eating.

Absolutely. I didn't realize how much I thought about food until I didn't have to. Now, I do get excited when it's my time to eat, and I am like "ITS TIME!!!". But it's really very different from before. I just wish I had known about it years and years ago.

Absolutely agree!! I struggle with some food addiction issues, so I feel like IF helps me keep control of those.

I'm so happy that you found the click that works. Interesting reading.

Anyone have thoughts on how to drink coffee with out 1/2 & 1/2 which would break a fast. Not going to lie, love the thought of my coffee each morning!! I've tried the black coffee thing and UGH~
