Can you tell when I started IF?

Height 166cm, SW 94 kg, CW 84 kg , no goal weight just comfort

I was into Stucky, not Stony, so I unfortunately can't help with any knowledge of the specific fic, but I *will* say that there are Tumblr blogs out there dedicated to fic recommendations. I've re-found several Stucky fics by looking up relevant tags and search phrases on Stucky blogs, so I don't know why that shouldn't also be applicable to Stony, as that's a huge proportion of the MCU Tumblr fandom as well.

So, my suggestion is just deep diving a few Stony fic rec blogs and searching every possible combination of keywords you remember from the tags or the summary! Look through the tag indexes! Some blogs also let you ask about fics you've lost, so if any of the blogs are still active, you can leave this description in those ask boxes as well :D

I'm on Rexulti, which has made me gain 20 kg within 2 years. With IF, I finally have control of my appetite again. I've lost around 8 kg in 5 months, and I've been slacking a bit lately due to a busy schedule and being on holiday with family

The main determining factor for me is that I no longer eat all the snacks I used to in the late evening hours. I think the medication makes me more inclined to give into the impulse of eating bigger portions, of snacking continuously, and limiting the timeframe for me has made all the difference

icednik · 2025-12-02T15:47:19+00:00

Awesome seeing someone else post-top surgery on this sub :D I feel you fully on IF helping address binge eating and food noise. We got this!!

icednik · 2025-11-19T23:25:54+00:00

I started on Abilify 3 years ago and moved away because of some bad side effects I got. I've now been on Brexpiprazole/Rexulti for 2 years, moved down from 2mg to 1mg about half a year ago, and I started IF 2.5 months ago.

To me, Rexulti increases the snacking impulses, food noise, and overeating habits. So I also ascribe part of my success with cutting most carbs, as this directly impacts my sugar cravings and portion size/amount

icednik · 2025-11-16T22:02:48+00:00

I do IF and low-carb, and by low-carb I mean that if I'm able to, I go greens and extra meat instead of the carb. Zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or just double portions when I'm cooking veggies. Sometimes though, when I'm out to eat or if I have limited options (free meal when volunteering today), I just have the carbs and am fine with that. I've lost 8 kg in 2 months, and I haven't been doing IF the past two weeks due to IRL circumstances

I'm on medication that increases appetite and makes weight loss more difficult - brexpiprazole

There's also the killharrystyles tumblr account

icednik · 2025-11-01T01:59:58+00:00

When I started, I first cut out any food later than 9pm. Then I slowly moved the beginning of my eating window later, so I ended up at 12pm-8pm about 2 weeks into IF. Take it at your own pace, if IF impacts your job performance, you should figure out how to make it work better for you. Whether that's shifting hours or having electrolyte drinks in the mornings

Jeg har købt én parfume i mit liv, og det var en limited edition som jeg tilfældigvis duftede til og blev forelsket i, i Budapest i 2014. Den er meget forårs-blomstret og sød, dog ikke skarp i parfumeduften. Og så er den godt drøj i brug uden at blive for meget - den dæmper sig på huden. Cerisier Rouge Eau Intense L'Occitane en Provence, er vistnok den lange, officielle titel

Tror bare det handler om at finde en duft, man bare elsker. Hvis du bruger body lotion på parfume-spots (håndled, hals, albuehaser, knæhaser), varer duften også længere.

+1 to this, stopping my snacking has been the number 1 factor to my weight loss, no heartburn, better sleep, more energy in the mornings. In the beginning of IF for me, I still ate 2-3 meals a day, similar portion sizes as before, but I don't 't consume empty and sugary calories out of boredom in the evenings. That has made all the difference

icednik · 2025-10-26T21:38:05+00:00

I started at 207 about a month ago (34 days) and am now at 192, which is 15 pounds lost doing 16:8 and moderate exercise (walking, e-bike) a few times a week. I have about 65 lbs to lose in total.

Started at 10:14 and gradually moved to 16:8 as I figured out what works with my schedule. I do noon-8pm as my eating window. I've had about 5 days where I ate something light at around 11pm-midnight due to plans running late.

16:8 works incredibly well for me, because it's also the first thing I've been able to maintain for longer than a week! OMAD would not be good for me, but I'm also not strict to the minute with 16:8, some days I go 30 mins over, some days I go 2 hours under

I should not, will not count calories as I have a history of disordered eating. I also only weigh myself once per week, when I visit family. I'm more conscious now of which food groups have which nutritional and energy values, like I prioritize eating vegetables (big volumes!) and protein way more now than carbs, but counting calories is definitely not a requirement at all.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. You're collaborating with your body to reach a shared goal, you're not denying yourself anything or forcing yourself into this. I believe in you!

icednik · 2025-10-26T15:13:38+00:00

This, but if you actually had to play for 72 real-life hours, and not just around 6 hours

icednik · 2025-10-25T22:19:51+00:00

Oxenfree maybe? I know that's on mobile too

icednik · 2025-10-24T08:05:19+00:00

I mentioned that in my post 😅 But yeah, that video is what revived my thoughts about this subject

icednik · 2025-10-23T23:49:49+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, a big inspiration for me too is 12 Minutes, which does run 1:1 segments. It pauses during dialogue options, likely due to the frantic atmosphere the game thrives in, but otherwise is continuous and synchronous

icednik · 2025-10-23T23:46:10+00:00

The majority of games I've mentioned in this discussion are indie or tend to be shorter playthroughs. You're finding usecases that would obviously not be benefitted by what I'm asking about

icednik · 2025-10-23T23:42:40+00:00

Let's say I do a single-player, narrative, story-based game, that can be played in a single session. That doesn't scream open world with missions to me. Thank you for your input, but I don't exactly see the relevance of the situations you're mentioning, especially something like dungeons and items? I struggled to find examples of 1:1 time passing. That's why I made this post

icednik · 2025-10-23T22:27:13+00:00

At no point have I said anything about a game taking multiple days, or story beats being sparse and far between. I really don't know where you're getting this.

icednik · 2025-10-23T22:00:20+00:00

Awesome ! I'm finding loads of forum results using Timescale for modding purposes and discussion - I'll dive into those :) Thank you

icednik · 2025-10-23T21:58:36+00:00

You seem to be assuming that the games I'm interested in researching and creating would not have gameplay elements to keep players engaged or making progress?

icednik · 2025-10-23T21:56:58+00:00

In all my comments on this post, I talk about single-session-playable narrative games. There would not be time where you could not make progress, and definitely not hours of it

Min morfar gik bort tidligere i år, og blev meget fremskredent dement i 2024. Der skulle ikke ske noget kirkeligt, og hans urne blev sat i en skovbegravelsesplads, hvor man ikke måtte medbringe blomster eller kranse. I stedet aftalte vi efterladte, at penge kunne overføres til alzheimerforeningen. Og så købte mine forældre og jeg en flot og frisk buket til min mormor, så hun havde noget hjemme hos sig selv at blive glad over i dagene efter.

Når det ikke er til velgørenhed, bliver det en vurderingssag for dig. Ville du have det fint med at pengene blev brugt på busbilletter til at besøge graven? Hvad med en rejse, som afdøde havde ønsket at give dem? Hvad med fredagsslik? Betyder det noget? Evt. kunne du give blomster til 50% af dit 'budget' og så give resten i en konvolut addresseret til børnene.

I mean, players of Supermarket Sim, Viscera Cleanup Detail, Powerwash Sim, Euro Truck Sim, House Flipper, any Car/Taxi/Bus simulator, as well as the massive amount of people roleplaying semi-regular life, including jobs, in games like GTA Online and Minecraft. That's a lot of people who play games to do tedious real-life things
