I also had a huge problem with over ...Amen Angela!<br /><br />I also had a huge problem with over eating. I guess I still do. But the fasting helps to keep it at a minimum. When I think of fasting and how I eat now, I often think of that childhood game, go, go, STOP. <br /><br />One person standing in one side would yell go, go, go, go, go..... And the children on the other side would run until they yelled STOP! It is like that in a way. Over eaters will always do well with intermittent fasting because they still get to over eat and lose weight...the difference is that now they are over eating once a day rather than all day every day!<br /><br />I know I eat at least my daily intake in one meal. But then I stop. I am essentially using my weakness as a strength to get me through. My desire for large amounts of food helps me eat nothing at all...how ironic.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15361549346366283322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657838080907922561.post-16842412732865407542011-11-23T13:37:50.194-08:002011-11-23T13:37:50.194-08:00I have to tell ya Jenna that I just shared this on...I have to tell ya Jenna that I just shared this on my facebook page!! The 'talk' around my town is I binge!!! I told my mom..'how come no one said anything to me when I was 260 lbs and binging on food all day? How come they didn't tell me I was killing myself that day I was rushed by ambulance...I can't remember what I ate earlier that day but that night I ate tons of chicken wings (probably 20), 5 slices of pizza, plus a HUGE bowl of ice cream with melted peanut butter and chocolate chips poured on top of it, PLUS two large bags of popcorn smothered in butter..hmmmmmm..I guess that is not binging but what I'm doing now is???? Go figure!!!! lol....I'm the healthiest I've been in my entire life, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically and all people can say (my mom gets it all the time) is I must be binging...I will take my dad's quote..'I don't give a shit what people think'...Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857554289543670693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657838080907922561.post-50122309728176125622011-11-22T18:54:55.255-08:002011-11-22T18:54:55.255-08:00Jenna, Im now on my 3rd week of Fast 5...it seems ...Jenna, Im now on my 3rd week of Fast 5...it seems to get easier and easier with each passing day. Youre right when you say that you can get through the fast just by remembering that you arent in a 'food bondage' anymore,,and that you can eat whatever you want,if you wait a little while longer. Freedom, especially during the holidays is especially rejuvenating. I hear everyone else saying,,'Oh i shouldnt eat that' or 'Nope, better not have that or Ill have to go run ten miles'...Im NO longer a part of that bandwagon! I just wink to myself and delight in my treat in that window of eating. Obedience to the fasting = freedom forever! Thanks again for your wonderful blog! Happy Thanksgiving!Oriananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657838080907922561.post-5459877300573320642011-11-22T18:28:02.085-08:002011-11-22T18:28:02.085-08:00Yes!

While that window is open, I can eat whatever I want in moderation and still lose weight. It may not work for everyone, but it works for me.Scotthttp://oneeightyfive.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
