I’m excited to weigh myself now that I’m 15 days into my diet, but I’m gonna wait until my period is over because I can tell I’m seriously packing on the water weight.
Sometimes I struggle between wanting to eat tasty foods I crave and continuing my fast.
What I do so I don’t break my fast and eat a lot of snacks or multiple meals.
When my stomach begins to make me feel sick from the increase of stomach acid, or if I’m just done with fasting, I will let myself eat a fair share of food and I don’t doubt calories. I pay attention to the scale, I’m okay if my food makes me weigh 3 pounds more since I will lose it the next day, but if it’s 5lbs I’ve made a mistake. So I’ll weigh myself between what I eat, and I will still have pizza, ice cream, cookies, in moderation. “Moderation” to me doesn’t mean I’m only allowed to taste it, it means that I can enjoy an amount that makes me feel relatively full.
This still works in losing weight since there are still fasting, exercising, and at most a small meal in a day (when not fasting). My favorite foods taste better when I know I’ve earned it.
It is balancing between wants so there’s less resistance to do things that are more difficult (losing a lot of weight in a short period of time). I still drink coffee everyday with sugar & creamer. I have an energy drink every month. I still eat ramen. And I’m still losing weight.
