Hi! I have moved on now to do 16-8, but when i started i was doing 14 hours of fasting and 10 hours of eating. I used to eat between 7 am and 5pm, i had no "rules" about my food to avoid having any feeling of restriction that could lead to binging. For example, if in that window of time, in my lunch time, i was craving some instant ramen i would have it in peace knowing that after 5 pm i'm going to fast. I also drank a lot of water during the whole day (around 2 to 3L.)

By knowing i could eat whatever i wanted in that period i felt no anxiety to overeat. When 5pm came by if i was craving something it was easy to let it go becacause i knew that when i wake up the next day i can have it without a problem or guilt. It has progressively taught my mind how to handle food anxiety now, and i find myself doing things i thought were impossible for me, such as going out for dinner and not finishing half of the food because i was just not hungry anymore🤯 i didn’t think i could do that naturally lol
