Thank you!! ❤️ I’m starting to believe I will too...eventually. 😂 I just need to keep my head on straight and focus on nutrition and health and balance until that time comes. It’s about the journey, isn’t it? “Progress, not perfection” “trust the process” and all that jazz. 😊 If I start feeling too discouraged, I’m likely to binge and then sadly, punish myself through extreme calorie restriction and crazy exercise routines. I need to keep myself heathy mentally.
But I’m convinced more than ever that the answer for me doesn’t lie in prolonged fasting, at least when I still feel sort of nutritionally deficient from babies and years of dieting. But I’m sure I will go back to alternate days of fasting again. I felt great doing that for about the first 6 months. September-February. March was stressful and is for most families in Japan, so dieting seemed to keep me on edge and extra irritable. For now, two meals a day with no limits on low carb veggies and lean meats, slight limit on fattier cuts.
I’ll revive this thread when I know how these changes affect me. I’m sure I’m not the only one dealing with these issues. For those who don’t know me, I’m 38, a mom of three kids, mild thyroid issue, which I’m treated for. Years of dieting with severe calorie restriction. I hope this experiment will be helpful for others out there. 💜
