So, im making progress, frustrated still but sticking to it. I'm still fasting and decided to change from the 16off 8on to 18off 6on which is surprisingly not bad. To be honest though, since my last journal entry I had three days where I slipped really bad but I got back on track. Fasting is surprisingly easy, its the cravings that kick my butt, ohhh do they kick my butt. I knew I had an unhealthy relationship with food, sugar addiction, eat too much salt, emotional eater but i didnt realize how bad until i started fasting. Fasting is teaching me to say no to junk I don't need and it also helped me realize just how much of said junk I ate, its so bad! I can actually taste the tons of sugar and salt in certain foods now, I can no longer drink cocacola because its so sweet it gives me a throbbing headache, same with some fastfoods, its like the fasting has reset my tastebuds for certain things. I have also stopped calorie counting i havent stopped completely i just need to figure out how to do it with home cooked meals. I have been cooking a ton more, so I have to rework that aspect of my weight loss journey. Im looking forward to see how much i can lose with this method, I can honestly notice things like mental clarity and focus improving since I have started fasting and my ankles have stopped swelling, I only have pain in one knee instead of both(old injury). So we will see how im doing next week!
