[fast5] I recently realised...

... that I have not been this relaxed about eating since before my first diet 20 years ago. Before Fast5/intermittant fasting, I binged, I restricted, I counted calories, I weighed myself twice daily, I thought about little else etc etc all the negative stuff dieting brings. Now I eat whatever I want, however much I want and thoroughly enjoy it. I don't think much about food beyond preparing a nice meal every evening (and dessert every evening too!) I feel freed. I don't weigh myself any more. I don't know if I've lost or gained and don't *really* care (at one point a couple of months ago I did try to actively lose weight but my heart just wasn't in it and I'm reasonably lightweight anyway so I quit). I feel little hunger during the day. I can't quite remember when I began Fast5/IF but I do remember I was doing it at Christmas so that's at least 4 months now. (I do a one-meal-a-day variant in a 1-2 hour window.) And I *love* enjoying my food and then thinking "good, that's me fed for the next 24 hours!" :) I love not having to worry about breakfast/lunch/snacks/when will I get a chance to feed myself tomorrow/what will I eat.

Just wanted to share!

Just put a lovely pork/root veg stew in the oven and have choc fudge cake & vanilla ice cream ready for afters. Really looking forward to it.
