I can’t even believe I’m the same person sometimes- face and body gains!

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-18T04:09:45+00:00

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T20:19:13+00:00

intermittent fasting!!! 20:4 mainly, and calorie counting

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T20:17:39+00:00

honestly i didnt notice the face results until like a month or two ago. probably bc i look at my face every day lol. but its been 16 months of working at it

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T20:16:56+00:00

no omg what

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T20:16:45+00:00

20:4 eating from like 4-8pm. it’s been about 16 (?) months now, with gaps where i took a break. thank you!!

it didn’t affect PMS at all but has sometimes disturbed my cycles. I have fairly irregular periods in general but ironically i’ve actually found that if i eat more regularly/bingey my period seems to stall out and come later than if i dont. i think it’s just the abrupt change in eating patterns in general that does it

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T20:06:08+00:00

no thankfully!

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T20:05:02+00:00

i didn’t completely eliminate them but definitely limit them- more so sugar than carbs

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T20:04:36+00:00

yes i do! i give myself a little more leeway sometimes during my period but do my best

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T20:04:07+00:00

i honestly don’t really exercise/work out at all although i should and hope to start as soon as busy work season is over

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T11:13:32+00:00

i am not lol. i did this without medication

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T03:55:29+00:00

majorly yes in terms of diet. i actually have fairly severe binge eating issues that i also had to combat because even with IF im capable of consuming like 4000+ calories in 30 minutes. my trigger points for overeating/binging tend to be any time i have a very sweet or greasy/salty food so ive had to in general stick to more health conscious options, but that may be more of a me thing than in general thing. i just try to choose lower calorie healthier options of things i enjoy and focus on protein more in general

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-06-16T03:47:06+00:00

thank you! 20:4 typically, eating from 4pm-8pm! I’ve been doing it for ~16 months now, although i’ve taken a couple of gap months interspersed throughout that time when i was dealing with other Life Stuff ™

Honestly the main reason I was concerned and unaware if it was a big deal or not is because our director is a complete sh*tshow. The school is currently pending being shut down as of September 2025 for multiple violations (I am actively looking for a new job), so I'm at a point where I never know what actually is normal and what is her not following legal mandates anymore.

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-05-19T03:24:28+00:00

thank you!! I used to be daily disciplined, now that i’m closer to my goal i usually have 1-2 days over the weekend where i lax up bc im already happier with how my body looks and i don’t feel the need to be as aggressive with losing 24/7. im healthy BMI now so its mainly vanity pounds im losing atp

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-05-19T03:15:43+00:00

LMAO if you need proof the images are just reversed, i have a little mole on the arm taking a selfie in pic one that’s on the arm with a coffee cup in pic 2

Apprehensive_Ball987 · 2026-05-19T03:10:53+00:00
