in the spirit of ✨romantizing my mental illnesses✨
i am dubbing this specific phenomenon:
the slim hours
in my experience doing intermittent f@sting, this is the specific period of time in my fast where:
it’s after the point where i get the most hungry
it’s sometime at the 22hr mark, it used to be at the 20hr mark
i do not feel it if i do a 16:8 fast - only for extended ones (18:6 or OMAD comes times depending on what i eat before)
in my experience, i start to:
lose the hungry feelings
my body feels almost like my bones are heavy
increased focus after 17-18 hours, i was able to get multiple things done and efficiently
if i sm0ke 🍃, it hits 10x harder va sm0king when eating/after eating
most of the time i am able to ⭐️ve past 24hrs if i can get to this point.
feeling energized to get through workouts
feeling a bit more cheerful in personality/maybe in part to exercise release chemicals and such
each time i get to this time in a f@st, i always see the scale drop the next day. always.
drinking low cal drinks, coffee, tea, anything without cals doesn’t affect it.
i call it ‘the slim hours’ because it does feel like after the 22hr mark it’s like i feel myself shrinking, like my body is forced to eat through my fat instead of any extra cals.
this time is different for everyone, but i’d recommend finding
✨ your slim hours ✨
(let me know if there’s a scientific name for this i wasn’t sure and just gave it a cute name imo idk i was a visual arts major plz)

I lost control and binged today so I wrote myself a reminder. Everything I crave that I'll get when I'm skinny. The reasons for me to stay strong and keep going.

Does anyone else touch their body a lot to feel how skinny they are or is that just me?

Okay so
If you're struggling with motivation and have time to read a book (I'm not sure if there's an audio book for this) boy do I have a recommendation for you!
Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson is so good for motivation, especially if you want numbers!!
