How do you guys keep yourself motivated?

I just started IF and I’m having trouble sticking to my 18:6 plan because I’m an in home care caregiver during the time I’m fasting and I have to make peoples lunches and dinners for them since they can’t do it themselves and making food and not being able to eat it is pretty hard. Any tips?

Answer

I have a young child I’m constantly buying/preparing food for during my fasting time, and one thing that helps is that I almost never eat those same exact foods myself. Kind as if I worked at, idk, McDonald’s, and had a rule for myself that I only ever ate Burger King. Usually it’s stuff like buying them a different kind of bread than I eat, or their food having substantially different seasoning than mine, or ingredients that I don’t eat. It gets a little weird around simple things like fruits and vegetables, but there I try to at least prepare them differently in some regard (even just doing it in a different spot with different tools), so that the “now it’s eating time” cues are different than the “here I am preparing this for the child” actions.
