[fast5] New with question

Hi, Fast-5ers! I'm new and slowly working my way through the archives.

I'm on day 4 today, and I started on Monday cold turkey. My window is 3pm-8pm.

While I love that I am not on an energy roller coaster all day long, and I no longer need coffee which I thought I was addicted to, I am having trouble controlling myself in my window!

I know that that feeling of bingeing is supposed to go away....but I would like some people to verify that it will, indeed, go away!!! My weight is exactly the same as it was on day 1 (thank goodness) but I'm just worried I will GAIN weight if I don't get this figured out!

I am not exactly eating the best things during my window, either. I think it is the fact that I have been dieting for the last year, and one of the biggest draws to fast-5 is that I might be able to eat foods that I have deprived myself of over the past year and still maintain or lose weight.

I've lost 40 pounds in the last year doing a combination of hCG and low carb. My issue is keeping the weight off while eating foods that I love. Plus, I am at a weight that is still not my ideal weight...I'm at 145 (5' 5"), and according to the charts in the book I should weigh around 125. That's also the weight I look best at. Even though I could live with 145 for the rest of my life, I would like to lose at least 10 more pounds and keep it off.

So please, experienced fast-5ers, tell me that the need to binge will go away! And that I will NOT gain weight on this plan. AND that I don't have to be as vigilant with the things I am eating during the window as I had to be when eating at society's "normal" times.

Because if I'm just going to have to NOT eat all day and then ONLY eat diet food during my window, I will be disappointed!

Thanks for your words of wisdom!

Virginia
