This past week I was awful sick. I spent 3 days throwing up. I have no idea what messed me up that bad.
But, now that I’m better I’m worried I’ve undone everything I’ve worked for.
I do the 18:6 IF and my eating window is from 1pm-7pm. It took me a couple months to build myself up to that and I’m so proud of it.
However, while I was sick I didn’t eat anything at all the whole time. I just couldn’t keep anything down. So for the 3 days I only drank some juice and water. Now that I’m better I feel badly hungry all the time.
Is that just my body trying to bounce back to normal? How do you all handle IF while sick? Thanks everyone!
You were sick, and all bets are often off when we are sick. Don’t beat yourself up.
Also, someone once told me that it’s literally impossible to go back to where we started. Once we educate ourselves and decide to do something, we’ve turned a page, we can never be who we were before
Give yourself time to recover, it’s gonna be fine :) You can slowly get used to it again, no need to jump right back to 18:6 just get a late breakfast/early dinner and move back to your normal schedule over a period of time
