I’m fasting! I decided that an intermittent fast might benefit me. If I fast weekly, I hope it will keep my eating on track because my portion sizes tend to increase with time and I have been making fast food exceptions more. After 24-hours of not eating, ½ cup of this and 3 oz. of that should seem sufficient. I read that a fast resets the body; I’ll see. I chose a 24-hour fast beginning Sunday at 6 p.m. and ending at 6 p.m. on Monday. Eventually I think I will do two of these fasts each week if they work for me, but for this week I will ease into it and do just one day. My last meal was yesterday (Sunday) at 4:30 p.m. so I am at hour 19. Although I stopped eating at 4:30 p.m., I will continue the fast until 6:00 p.m. I have had two episodes of feeling hungry today, but I am sipping on bottles of water with sugar-free drink mix. I am going to stay at work so I will not get home before 6:00 and drive home with my eyes closed so I won't see fast food restaurants. My inner voice: "I can do this. I can do this. I can do this."
