Fatty 1 – Intermittent Fasting Week 5

So I think this I’m up around week five or six now.  I’m still going, so that’s a good sign.  I’ve been on most of the major diets, Weight Watchers, Atkins, etc. and I always found myself dropping off after a week or so.  Then I’d get back on, then off, then on, then off.  And predictably not stellar results.  I’d find myself resenting being on the diet, which would lead to the ever decreasing commitment.  Then I’d recommit.

So far, I’m not resenting this diet.  I’m not resenting the fasting period, and I’m not really resenting the paleo part either.  Perhaps there is a special alignment of the planets that have made this possible.  There have been days when I haven’t fasted, because I was just really really hungry, or I’ve had a social engagement.  I’ve had days where I’ve eaten something non-paleo.  After such slips, I’ve managed to hop right back on the wagon, and not feel bad about it, and (gasp!) even look forward to getting back on my diet.  How bizarre is that?

The times when I have eaten outside my eating time, it has been because I’ve been super hungry, and I figure my body is telling me something.  These sorts of days have been infrequent, and so not much of an issue.  I eat, I feel better, I get back on the next day.

Other times I’ve had the social engagement. This can lead to eating outside the window, and also eating non-paleo.  So I eat, trying to keep it healthy-ish, and then get back on the next day.  Like I said I kind of oddly look forward to it.

The weight loss results are continuing.  Down another pound and a half or so.  I think I’ve lost about 8 – 9 pounds total.
