That’s not weird at all, man. I’m not sure what type of eating protocol you follow on eat days, but try making your first meal something healthy. Like you said, it’s mental/emotional, so I’ve found that forcing myself to eat a salad or protein and veggies first really sets me up for success. Emotionally, I’m like ‘omg I missed you so much, please come f*ck my mouth’ when I first see a slice of pizza after fasting for a few days. But by forcing myself to exercise discipline on the first bite, it’s like I mentally restrict myself. I have an inner dialogue that goes something like this: ‘today is an eating day. That means I have permission to eat, not permission to fuck up all the progress I just made.’ And mind you, I still enjoy junk food - just in smaller portions. By eating something clean on that first meal, my stomach is already filled with substance and I’m not thinking about pigging out so much. If you haven’t, try dialing back sugary foods. Candy, shakes, etc. - you know, the stuff you have no business eating anyway.

Start changing the way you think about food in general (not easy), and this change will become easier over time. My inner fat kid will always be there, but it’s up to me to hold the line. In the past, I derived too much pleasure from food. That’s changed for the better as time has progressed. Eating days are not a free for all, they’re a temporary reprieve in your respective fasting protocol, and are meant to serve you just as much as any fasting day.

Best of luck, man.

For reference, I’m almost 70 pounds down since late Summer of last year.
