[fast5] Day 5!

Thanks for everyone's encouraging words yesterday about my bingeing.

Day 4 was MUCH better. I broke my fast at 3 with dried veggies (squash, zucchini, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes) and a piece of cheese. Then later we had a faculty meeting where we were served chips and salsa with cheese dip, which I enjoyed. I also indulged myself in a not-often enjoyed treat...a soda. I was planning to eat more when I got home.....but I WASN'T HUNGRY!!!! Nope! Nada! I didn't eat one more bite of food. Instead I drank water and got into the hot tub until my window closed.

Today I am down 2 pounds from yesterday's weight. That was just the positive kick that I needed to see. Now, I am enough of an experienced dieter to know that I haven't lost 2 pounds in 1 day. I'm doing weekly averaging and will have to wait a week to see how that trend goes. But it was still very encouraging.

And I also know that my indulgences yesterday were still far from idea. But I'm working it out. I feel more confident that over time I will be able to figure this out.

I'd still like to move my window later. Instead of 3 to 8 I'd like to try the 5-10 window. I wouldn't have to worry about taking food with me to school to eat at 3 when my window opens. The simplicity of this lifestyle is one of the greatest appeals to me. Another benefit is that because I go to bed before 10 every night so that would decrease my eating hours. But now holding out until 3 is all I can do. Since I started cold turkey, I'm proud to make it to 3!

Ready for another day of the fast-5 lifestyle!
