Okay weâ€™re actually having fun today. My mil are fine. It seems like every trip we have a big blow out then everything is fine again. I guess thereâ€™s just a lot of tension between us. I know she means well. We went on a short hike and then to lunch. I had a very short fast today but thatâ€™s oka...

lpearlmom

Glad youâ€™re still around! I find this forum so incredibly helpful. Donâ€™t even worry about the slip up. Itâ€™s perfectly normal and all part of the journey. Iâ€™d personally just call it a sick day and move on. Maybe since you know soup doesnâ€™t fill you up enough try having a half a sandwich or...

lpearlmom

Omgosh, donâ€™t you love when they try to guilt you out of being a good parent? I have to say Iâ€™m terrible about the whole electronics thing but I do take it away from my oldest daughter at bedtime otherwise she stays up way too late. Other than that she has no restrictions yet she acts like Iâ€™m...

lpearlmom

Thanks Soprano! Itâ€™s a lot better today. Yay! Hopefully Iâ€™ll be able to workout on Tuesday. I think I need to be better about stretching. Octavia: well the SIL is actually being fine but my MIL is driving me crazy. She drives everyone crazy but Iâ€™m the only one that ever calls her out on stuff...

lpearlmom

Yay! What a great lost. Congrats on the 10 lbs as well as your new ability to cope without food. Such a good feeling isnâ€™t it!?

I love your relaxed attitude. Keep on keeping on.

lpearlmom

Oh I see we have another IFer! The scale lies especially with this type of eating. Especially if youâ€™re exercising too. I like to daily weigh too but yeah gotta take it with a grain of salt. I take monthly measurements and thatâ€™s good info.

Good to see you back posting.

lpearlmom

Sounds like you had a crazy day too. Hope you got some rest and that tomorrow goes more smoothly!

lpearlmom

Thanks soprano. Not much improved yet. Rough day today. Back pain, nausea, and a lot of fighting with my 13 year old. Omg, this is not a fun age. I remember it with my oldest. Can I go run away for a few years? Please! Weâ€™re going away for the weekend and Iâ€™m not even looking forward to it. Itâ€...

lpearlmom

Aww thanks! Iâ€™m so glad youâ€™re on here too. It really feels great to have someone get what Iâ€™m going through and so often we seem to be on the same page. Really cool. ðŸ’œ Today went well except for the fact that I seem to have injured my back. I ran two miles today and was feeling great till ...

lpearlmom

Your meals look good. I really donâ€™t mind doing low-carbish. I think itâ€™s because I just like all foods. I can do vegan, low carb, low fat as long as thereâ€™s food. I cannot count calories however and I canâ€™t be fanatical about anything or Iâ€™ll rebel. Speaking of rebelling, I tried to limit...

lpearlmom

Great numbers and looks like things are generally going really well! Hope the bike ride went okay.

lpearlmom

Yup I think moderate is where itâ€™s at and if I lose six month when Iâ€™m 95 so be it. Besides our moderate eating will off-set any possible cons. ;) So I had a little moment of frustration today but gave myself a pep talk and my heads back in the game. Just so frustrated that my weight seems to be...

lpearlmom

Isnâ€™t she cool? Iâ€™m glad you found it helpful. If nothing else, itâ€™s a refreshing perspective. Iâ€™m really enjoying the addition of s little cream in my coffee. The day off yesterday however just about wrecked me. I never did get my S days down and looks like I still canâ€™t handle them. Ques...

lpearlmom

Lol you guys are funny! So technically I think theyâ€™re called bicycle crunches. You just kind of put your elbow to the opposite knee while you kick the other leg out and then switch continuously in a bicycle type motion. â˜ºï¸ Omygosh I do not do well without boundaries. I took the day off from fa...

lpearlmom

Worthâ€”looks like a great day. Iâ€™m definitely trying to think long-term and whatâ€™s sustainable these days too. I posted this on Allisonâ€™s thread but found this IF blog thatâ€™s helped me relax a bit. Now Iâ€™m using a little half and half in my â€œcoffeeâ€ and Iâ€™m taking one day a week off....

lpearlmom

Thatâ€™s too funny Soprano! I wish I went back. Next time. Thank you auto! Me too worth. I just really hate wasting a meal on bad food. I rather just not eat! Today was much better. I worked out, then did some cooking and ran errands. Our neighbor invited us to dinner so I went with my oldest daught...

lpearlmom

Glad youâ€™re still around. Your trip sounds fun!

lpearlmom

Yayâ€”glad youâ€™re feeling better about stuff. Great job on the housecleaning. Iâ€™m lazy and pay someone. Of course that still leaves the other six days. â˜ºï¸

lpearlmom

So glad your boys are having fun! What great spirits they have! Great job at Costco. You inspired me to try the same. I went today sans cart and came out with just some veggie sausages and stamps. Woot! I loved reading your 5 yr testimonial. Can you believe I never write one? I think I was waiting t...

lpearlmom

Yay! Iâ€™ve so enjoyed following your journey along the way but itâ€™s pretty cool to see it all summarized so nicely in one spot. Iâ€™ve been so impressed with your continual problem solving skills and your willingness to take an honest assessment of yourself. Thanks for being a supportive contribu...

lpearlmom

Luckily DH got home around 10;30 pm and was able to sleep all night. He was on call for two different hospitals so was a bit more busy than normal. I know it seems crazy but not all that unusual. I just feel like heâ€™s getting too old for these all nighters. Oh well heâ€™s in good spirits so all is...

lpearlmom

Thanks you guys re: exercise ! When Iâ€™m not in an exercise groove, itâ€™s so hard to get motivated but once Iâ€™m in it, I canâ€™t imagine not exercising in a regular basis. It does feel good and Iâ€™m determined to do this mudrun in March. Auto: I know, I really like having something in my fake c...

lpearlmom

I second autoâ€™s pleas! Iâ€™d really miss your posts and support and of course you know I have no issues with IF. I did worry about this at first too but people seemed interested in my journey so I decided to continue. Also, I agree itâ€™s so easy to just not read someoneâ€™s particular thread so t...

lpearlmom

Super jealous of your home alone situation. If I get out of Costco spending less than $100 Iâ€™m pretty happy but you are stronger than me so I think youâ€™ll do it! I agree meal planning and cooking are so important. I feel like if Iâ€™ve done nothing else as a parent Iâ€™ve been pretty good about ...

lpearlmom

Good dayâ€”no drama, no eating issues, lots of exercise. Iâ€™m still putting half & half in my â€œcoffeeâ€ but it still seems to be making me hungry so it must be spiking my insulin. Maybe Iâ€™ll try whipping cream. 23/1 154.2 lbs Break-fast (5 pm): 3 chickpea and eggplant tacos, refined beans, glas...

lpearlmom

Intermittent fasting is definitely not for everyone but it does not lead to disordered eating in my opinion. Itâ€™s does take 3-4 weeks to adjust and then your hunger and satiety signals will be working better than ever. I often do a 1-2 hr eating window and definitely do not overeat. I eat till com...

lpearlmom

Thanks auto! Yeah I donâ€™t mind running in short spurts. I signed up for a 5 mile mud run in March so am trying to get in shape for that. Itâ€™s fun to have a goal but I need to start pushing myself a bit harder if I really want to be ready for this. DH havenâ€™t talked about the fight. Sometimes w...

lpearlmom

Welcome! Youâ€™ve definitely come to the right place if sanity is what youâ€™re looking for. I started NoS in a similar place as you are now. I was just so done with dieting and wanted a healthy relationship with food. I spent the first year establishing my habits and it felt so great not to obsess ...

lpearlmom

Thx auto! Felt soooo good to fast today! I really like how the one hour window assures Iâ€™ll be hungry enough to enjoy my meals and get proper satiety signals. It really makes things simple too. Dinner and maybe a small dessert then done. Rinse, repeat. I did allow a little half and half in my tea ...

lpearlmom

That happened to me too. Nobody noticed for the longest time. Then finally after about 40 lbs someone noticed then it seemed like everyone noticed. I get how the comments can be triggering.

Enjoy your accomplishments though!

lpearlmom

Guilt and food is not a good combo. Remember is good to have some higher calorie days. It keeps your metabolism guessing and therefore working good. Also some ppl carb cycle instead of just going low carb all the time. I think the thought is it keeps your metabolism flexible. I want to share with yo...

lpearlmom

Auto: yeah I think when I was changing things up every 3-4 weeks or so it made sense and didnâ€™t bug me. Itâ€™s the changing my mind every 3 days that is unsettling. I need to give things time to work or not work before deciding if I want to continue on that path. Also, I agree that we each need to...

lpearlmom

No worries auto! I just realized I have a margarita postcard party in September so thatâ€™ll be a very challenging day for me. I havenâ€™t decided how to handle that just yet. Two slip ups is still a lot of progress btw. Omad is one meal a day which is a very confusing term to me. Does this mean jus...

lpearlmom

Wow 135.2! Congrats!

Good idea to use your momentum and get the kids rooms done too!

lpearlmom

Hi auto: Iâ€™m not giving up alcohol till September because we have a vacation coming up. So awesome youâ€™ve cut sugar so drastically. I actually would choose fries over dessert any day but I think too many restrictions just backfire on me sometimes. Iâ€™ve been emailing my â€œcoachâ€ and sheâ€™s a...

lpearlmom

Woot! I can not seem to get into the 140s for the life of me. You got this!

lpearlmom

Oh sorry you felt the pressure to eat. Next time just say â€œIâ€™m not a breakfast personâ€ and drink your coffee. Nobody seems to question breakfast skippers too much.

Keeping my limbs for no!

lpearlmom

I gained 50+ lbs doing intuitive eating but I was coming off a lifetime of strict dieting and was just SO done. I do think it can be kind of useful in a short eating window however. That is because intermittent fasting he,ps to regulate your hunger and satiety signals which make intuitive eating pos...

lpearlmom

Omgosh... today was weird. I think Iâ€™m going through some weird hormonal stuff. Finally got my period two weeks late and just did not feel like getting out of bed this morning. My back hurt, I felt dizzy and I was just blah. Didnâ€™t feel like interacting with the outside world. Yesterday I had th...

lpearlmom

That book sounds great worth. I know we have moments where being thin feels super important but deep down we know it has nothing to with what really matters. Do I still want to lose the rest of my weight ? Of course, but itâ€™s good to have perspective. So I think youâ€™re on the right track! Also, ...

lpearlmom

Thanks you guys! Feeling much better today. Going to just coast for a bit. 22/2 (ish) during the week and 19/5 during the weekend. Iâ€™m going to focus on watching my sugar and trying to keep it to 3 plates during the week. Tex: If I was in maintenance Iâ€™d probably weigh daily too. I just need a b...

lpearlmom

Thank you Tex! Iâ€™m about 10 lbs away from a normal BMI (Iâ€™m short) but Iâ€™m in sizes 8s & 10s so May have lost more inches than pounds which happens on IF. Either way my poor body has given up a lot of weight and I should give it a chance to stabilize here for awhile, youâ€™re right. I will com...

lpearlmom

THanks for being so understanding auto. Definitely feeling low today. My weight is up and Iâ€™m just feeling like no matter what I do, Iâ€™m not going to lose these last 20 lbs. At least not without doing something drastic. Thereâ€™s a woman in one of my Fasting Facebook groups that is super fit and...

lpearlmom

Youâ€™re doing great! Iâ€™m a little jealous of your responsive body. Seems like the only way Iâ€™m going to lose another pound is to lose a limb. But enough of me, keep up the great work & thanks for always being so supportive!

Linda

lpearlmom

Omygosh,,, I couldnâ€™t face another full day of fasting so Iâ€™m back to the daily fast and if I only lose a pound a month, so be it! Iâ€™ve come so far and need to just take a minute and be grateful for that. Now Iâ€™m just going to stick with one meal a day and eating as healthy as I can. *phew* ...

lpearlmom

The best part of having visitors or parties is we are suddenly motivated to do stuff around the house weâ€™ve been putting off for months. Enjoy your visitors!

lpearlmom

I know itâ€™s crazy! Sheâ€™s also taking math at the HS which is all just a bit much for me. Not really sure how things are going. I completed another full day fast on Thursday but just went about 38 hrs I think. It was actually nice to have a smoothie after my workout yesterday for a change. Today ...

lpearlmom

Iâ€™m sorry *hugs*. For the record, that doesnâ€™t look like s very big dinner to me. Youâ€™re human, food tastes good, you want more. Itâ€™s normal although frustrating. Youâ€™re doing great & maybe just in a bit of a funk right now but I know youâ€™ll come through this successfully. Btw, I can rel...

lpearlmom

Thanks worth! Yes once I get through the evening, Iâ€™m usually fine till the next dinnertime. I think I can do the schedule too but definitely wonâ€™t be a permanent thing. Just really need to get the ol scale moving again. Feels like itâ€™s taking me forever to reach my goal weight and it has been...

lpearlmom

Wow look at those numbers. Howâ€™d the night go? Social situations are the hardest for me. I drink partly because of social anxieties I think.

lpearlmom

Youâ€™re doing great and really seem to be getting in a good groove! The longer fasts really are not that fun, huh? Yet somehow I committed to doing two Efs a week for the next 100 days. We shall see! ðŸ˜±

lpearlmom

Youâ€™re doing great! Seems like a weekly bowl of ice cream should be just fine. Since fat doesnâ€™t spike insulin much, the full fat version is probably the way to go. I guess the home delivery services are a bit expensive but I guess I justify it as itâ€™s still cheaper than eating out. Awesome yo...

lpearlmom

Exactly auto. Today has been tough. Just super hungry but sticking it out. Grocery shopping and making dinner were the toughest parts. I put a little half n half in my tea to help. Once I wake up tomorrow, I fine. Itâ€™ll get easier Iâ€™m sure. 26 hrs into 48 hr fast 152.8 lbs (hoping to get in the ...

lpearlmom

I ate a lot today but a little healthier. Realized Iâ€™m pmsing so that explains a lot. Havenâ€™t weighed in a couple days. Iâ€™m guessing itâ€™s not good. Tomorrow begins the first day of my 100 day challenge so Iâ€™ll weigh & take pics. Itâ€™s going to be a bit tough doing this 48 hr fast since my...

lpearlmom

I do think ts very different to avoid things for health reasons rather than for weight loss goals. I guess you could try to out how much sugar you can have on occasion without compromising your health and then decide if thatâ€™s sustainable or not. Thanks to Plated, we eat home more often and I real...

lpearlmom

Iâ€™m nervous but excited. Iâ€™m a little annoyed because the woman leading this sent me my calorie goals and I had to explain to her that I do not count calories. I donâ€™t think she really understands the science behind IF but thatâ€™s okay. Im mainly doing it for the motivation and social support...

lpearlmom

Thank you eschano! A lot of it is definitely in my head. The fact that Iâ€™m able to like any pictures of myself is definitely an improvement over the many years I spent avoiding the camera at all costs. I did something Iâ€™m not totally sure about. I signed up for a 100 day ADF challenge with some ...

lpearlmom

So wonderful to hear how well youâ€™re doing. Iâ€™m sure that one year anniversary was tough. Your ability to persevere is so inspiring to me. Getting your license is a great idea. I wish I had done something like that when my kids were little. It feels a bit too late now even though everyone tells ...

lpearlmom

Woot! Great job identifying those thoughts and boy do they sound familiar. ðŸ¤”

Enjoy your treats tomorrow (if you still want them).

lpearlmom

Hoping sheâ€™s okay too. She did respond to a thread on the general questions on Saturday but thatâ€™s the last Post I saw from her.

lpearlmom

Well done on the dry days! I find the accountability so helpful too. Youâ€™re really brave for taking a honest assessment of yourself before things got too out of hand.

Keep up the good work!

Linda

lpearlmom

Yeah thatâ€™s true oolala. Thereâ€™s nothing wrong with it but I guess I prefer a friendlier approach. We did meet a nice family one day on a day cruise we went on & another woman who was really kind to me when I hurt myself. Maybe Iâ€™m just still a little bitter about the two months I spent in Par...

lpearlmom

Thanks all! I guess you guys are right about I nobody really liking pics of themselves in a bathing suit. I think in the beginning of my weight loss journey, I just wanted to feel normal and to get out of plus sized clothing. Now that that has happened Iâ€™m like hey I also want to look good. Itâ€™s...

lpearlmom

Wow, youâ€™re doing great! Congrats on your 48 hr fast! The longest Iâ€™ve gone is 44 hrs. It feels pretty good doesnâ€™t it? I seemed to have stalked so thinking of trying ADF for a few weeks. I donâ€™t get hungry but mentally getting through dinnertime is tough for me. Keep up the good work. Linda

lpearlmom

Hi worth ! Been so busy so just catching up on your thread. First of all the mirrors at target suck so just put that out of your head. Secondly, Iâ€™m struggling a bit too. I just want to be thin like yesterday so I can just feel good about myself already but will I ever reach a place I can feel goo...

lpearlmom

Yay for low blood sugar! Looks like your weight is steadily coming down too. Congrats on dry day #1. Iâ€™m looking forward to joining you in Sept. Weâ€™re having a big party in a couple of weeks and going away at the end of the month so Iâ€™m trying to be realistic.

Youâ€™re doing great. ðŸ’œ

lpearlmom

Ugh, I can relate to the mom thing. My mom doesnâ€™t really criticize me directly but her constant remarks about how she ate too much and checking calories on things (even though sheâ€™s now v thin) is a bit triggering for me. I think you're a saint for putting up with your mom. Iâ€™m glad sheâ€™s h...

lpearlmom

Got in late last night. Had so much fun and weâ€™re treated like royalty. The good news is I maintained my weight but the bad news is I totally overdid it today. I was triggered by my moms visit as well as seeing a picture of myself in a bathing suit. Ugh, I know itâ€™s totslly superficial but Iâ€™d...

lpearlmom

Thanks all for the well wishes! Itâ€™s the last day of our holiday and itâ€™s been amazing. Iâ€™ve eaten and drank ALOT, but also really upped my activity level. Still Iâ€™m pretty sure Iâ€™m up 5-10 lbs. I havenâ€™t been fasting much. Maybe 12-16 hrs a day at the most but hopefully whatever I put o...

lpearlmom

Good timing as Iâ€™m at a resort with probably 75% French people and man are they skinny! I do not see a lot of overweight people and their kids make my size 0 children hefty. They do dress super chic too for the most part so all those stereotypes seem to be holding up. Not the friendliest lot of pe...

Hey donâ€™t feel shame! Iâ€™m in the same boat nd was suppose to detox for seven days before my trip. I made it 3 days! ðŸ˜Š such is life.

lpearlmom

Oh boy two nights of heavy eating right before vacation does not seem like the best plan. I might just fast all day tomorrow or eat very light. We leave for the airport tomorrow night for a red eye flight Monday. So excited! On the plus side my hairdresser was incredulous about how small I was looki...

lpearlmom

Hi Sopranoâ€” Not a bad idea but Iâ€™m going on vacation next week so think Iâ€™ll try something like that then. For now Iâ€™m hanging in there although did an extra long window tonight which I think I needed. I definitely ate more than I usually do but my ability to overeat has greatly diminished. ...

lpearlmom

Yay! I always get excited when I get out of the next tens. I als use Happy Scale. I really like it.

Keep up the good wrk!

Linda

lpearlmom

Yes but I didnâ€™t just recently give birth (twice). â˜ºï¸ Iâ€™m struggling a bit. Just wanting to eat outside my window which I normally never even consider and also wanting to eat more sweets than usual. Maybe I just need a long window tomorrow instead of trying to fight this. Hopefully I wonâ€™t ...

lpearlmom

Thanks eschano! Me too! Yes, Iâ€™ve managed to drop about another 20 lbs since you left but itâ€™s been very slow going!

lpearlmom

I gained 75 lbs on intuitive eating but it did help me overcome binge eating and fear of eating certain foods. Was it worth it? Idk. You can eat intuitively on your plate though. Listen to your body about what kinds of foods it might like and notice when your full even if you choose to finish everyt...

lpearlmom

Thanks everyone so much for the sweet and encouraging comments! You guys are right, perfection doesnâ€™t equal happiness and itâ€™s really not fun being around. I sometimes wonder what sheâ€™s trying to prove with all this constant need for perfection. Some parts of her life , I really admire but mo...

lpearlmom

Baby steps are great. Also a 12-14 hr fast combined with NoS could be very powerful!

Keep on tweakingâ€”youâ€™ll get there!

Linda

lpearlmom

Well done! Perfectly okay to like those plates while you get back on habit. Plus youâ€™re using up lots of energy caring for those babies. ðŸ’œ

lpearlmom

Glad today was better! I had a rough day today and ended up reopening my window for Reeseâ€™s cups. â˜ºï¸ Some days are just like that I guess.

Linda

lpearlmom

Thx Soprano! Well we got back from our trip to see family in California and I just have so many emotions going through me that I thought I was going to have a panic attack while we were driving home. Just so many triggers for me on this trip. On the one hand, itâ€™s really nice that my sister and I ...

lpearlmom

Hey wb!! Congrats on baby #2! My girls are exactly two years apart so I feel your pain. Just post when you can and donâ€™t worry about catching on other pplâ€™s threads.

Hang in there. My girls both sleep till noon on the weekends now & fix most of their own meals. It gets better!

Linda ðŸŒ¹

lpearlmom

Nothing wrong with that Soprano! For me it has been turning into a daily habit and I wanted to make sure I could go somedays without. Even after a light week my weight is still stubbornly stuck at 155.6 lbs. must be the increased HcG. Tomorrow ill be going to San Francisco and Iâ€™ll be eating break...

lpearlmom

Yay on your mini goal! ðŸŽ‰ðŸ¥‚ Iâ€™m glad youâ€™re taking it slowly with the fasting. It doesnâ€™t feel like a diet to me at all. I guess because it brings me so much pleasure and something I plan to continue for life. I could see doing more of a 16/8 in maintenance though. Itâ€™s just so dang good...

lpearlmom

Thx soprano! I think youâ€™re right about the routine. Hereâ€™s my plan from now till August 21st: 1) 22/2â€“weekdays; 21/3-weekends; Tues-30/2 2) no alcohol m-th 3) no desserts m-f 4) exercise according to my mud-run schedule. 5) keep m-f to 2 plates (appetizer plus dinner); sat, sunâ€”3 plates (ap...

lpearlmom

I can understand where you are coming from. The first year of NoS was so freeing to me and the simple NoS rules gave me a lot of comfort as well as freeing up a lot of headspace. After awhile though, I began to really resent the rules. I think mostly because they werenâ€™t my rules and it started to...

lpearlmom

Hi soprano. I think youâ€™re right so I wrote down a schedule and am going to try to stick it out for at least 4 weeks. Well after my two vacations that are coming up of course. Iâ€™ll do my best to keep to at least 18:6 on those days. My plan for maintenance, if I ever get there, will be 19:5. I ov...

lpearlmom

Looks like a yummy dinner. Great job!

lpearlmom

Yay on the looser dress and nice job on the skipping breakfast. It usually takes ppl a couple of weeks to adjust to an IF schedule but NoS helps prepare us.

Keep up the great job!

lpearlmom

Thanks all. I think Iâ€™ll keep weighing for now. When I get to maintenance I can ease up a bit. The weight loss has been tough. I feel like I have to fight so hard for every single pound and sometimes I feel like I just want to be skinny already. Part of the problem is Iâ€™m constantly changing my ...

lpearlmom

Good job on marking it and moving on. Definitely not a big deal. I think thereâ€™s a way to change your settings so youâ€™re essentially invisible.

I went through an obsessive period of research too. Itâ€™s just so dang interesting.

I know this is a tough week for you. Big *hugs* to you.

lpearlmom

27 hrsâ€”woot!

lpearlmom

Hi worth! Great that youâ€™ll be joining me in September! Today was okay. Weight is up and I overdid it a bit. Not that it was so much food but that I just got a little overfull. Maybe this is as good as it gets. Maybe I should stop weighing so often. But last time I gave up the scale I blew up to 2...

lpearlmom

Oh family dramaâ€”fun times!

Yes, Iâ€™m not so good at spending less. Either is DH so will be interesting.

Good for you for skipping alcohol again. We can always start the detox as soon as you get back.

Onward!

lpearlmom

Looks like youâ€™re doing great and your weight is going in the right direction.

Good for you for being so proactive. Itâ€™s so important we do that for our health.

I hope the doggie is okay!

Linda

lpearlmom

Your trip sounds amazing. Sorry the last couple of weeks have been a bit over the top but it looks like youâ€™re back on track now. I see that youâ€™re trying to cut back on your alcohol as well. Let me know if you want to join me in a 30 day reset in September! Iâ€™m sure you will find a way to be ...

lpearlmom

Thanks Soprano! Yeah, I know many ppl donâ€™t lose any weight with increased exercised but I usually do fo some reason. I think it just puts me into the right mindset for eating reasonably. We shall see. I really appreciate all your support. Worth: itâ€™s funny how we tend to be on the same page wit...

lpearlmom

Thx Soprano! I do need to keep it all in perspective. To be losing any weight right now is probably not the norm. I felt better this morning then got really tired around 2pm and took like a 3 hr nap. So weird I never nap. Iâ€™m feeling better now but my stomach feels a bit messed up. Fun times! I ju...

lpearlmom

Okay I donâ€™t think Iâ€™ll do another extended fast for awhile. I just really donâ€™t enjoy them and then I end up having longer windows the following days.
