just wanted to share

I’m coming to almost 7 weeks intermittent fasting (18:6) and the changes are becoming eye opening. I suspected I may have some insulin resistance and on the verge of having PCOS just based on how I felt. Diabetes runs on both sides of the family and when I started losing my hair and couldn’t figure it out until other symptoms started showing up and have high triglycerides in my blood tests I needed to jump back into fasting. Last time as soon as I lost 20 pounds I got ahead of myself and fell out of the rhythm. I refuse to get a scale and I’m not being too strict about what I eat, but how much. After 4 weeks of dropping sugars and eating 1500 calories (about) I started walking at the gym. I aim about 3 to 4 times a week depending on how work is going. I try to walk 3 miles in 45 minutes, sometimes more. Now the good part, I had an opportunity or a cheat day to where I didn’t care how many calories I ate. It was the meal I wanted. I added the calories of my dinner (texas roadhouse!!) It was insane. It came out to 2800 calories. Dessert included. I could eat everything easy the last time I went. I battled with myself oh just eat half of everything and eat the other half tomorrow but told myself I’ll still be hungry or I can’t eat leftover steak. Any fat person excuse right?? Lol I said fuck it I’ll go to the gym everyday next week (unrealistic for me) THEN it was time, I brought the food home. Set up my loaded potatoes and started eating little bits of everything. (It was 8:30 and I usually eat at 1pm, I was very busy today) I thought I was starving and all of sudden I did eat about half of everything. And one roll! It’s like I trained my stomach to only handle about 1500 calories. I tried so hard to fail and the fact I didn’t makes me think I can do this 💪💪
