did you say what you are eating.... especially on weekends? It may be that you are having too many carbs and that is keeping your insulin up and therefor your hunger really kicks in. I would consider going seriously low carb. I think that a major factor in why FF works is that it helps bring insulin back in line. But depending on how long it has been going on and how your parents ate insulin resistance can require more than simply Fast 5 to be brought under control.

The longer window idea might work for the weekends perhaps but not during the week.
I was doing OK with doing the Fast-5 Monday through Friday (work days) except that Monday was usually harder then the rest of the week. Then my job became more stressful and so did my personal life and now it is harder more often then just on Mondays.
I sometimes think that going off on Saturday and Sunday and back on Monday might be part of the problem.
The lemon or vinegar might help on the weekends but it wouldn't work during the week. I work in a prison and can't have access to just anything. I can't even fix myself a cup of tea. All that is around is coffee and I HATE coffee. I skip lunch (because I am on the Fast-5) and work through it. When I get really craving some soda, it is a bother to go get it. I have to go outside to another building, pass through 4 locked gates and in the process turn in my keys at least if not my radio and personal alarm, then go out to my car for change (or maybe I predicted I would drink soda and carried 5 quarters in my pocket). Buy the soda then go through the 4 gates, get back what ever I turned in, go outside and back to my building.
Invariably by the time I get back to my office there isn't enough time to drink much of the soda while it is cold because I have to go back outside and to some other buildings to do things for my job. But I still buy the soda and pathetically drink it room temperature!
I have seriously considered removing all change and money from my car so that even if I did crave a soda I would have to literally drive all the way home for money.
Today I was SO hungry. I woke up hungry. I was very busy and tried to distract myself but my thoughts returned again and again to wanting a soda and maybe going out to lunch. I did over eat over the weekend so I am sure that is part of it. I woke up the limbic appetite.
Someone suggested a supplement. I am on a spending fast right now. I can buy food related items, hygiene items and things for my cat only until I can get my finances in order to prepare to move out of this apartment into a nicer rented house. (Which hopefully will happen the end of August.)
I do like the idea of having a longer window to eat on the weekend rather then saying I can have breakfast, lunch, snack and supper anytime I am hungry. I usually only have two meals and a snack. Maybe I could try for two snacks and one meal but start later in the afternoon.
I am also not feeling very motivated to work out. I think I am just feeling generally defeated with the whole body transformation process in general. I have lost weight... from 265 to 220 (I am 5"1") but I am still very very overweight and sometimes I just feel as if I am chasing windmills when it comes to having a normal sized body.
I "know" in my head that the secret to success on any goal is self efficacy. But I am really struggling with believing in myself. I believe in my workouts and in the fast-5 program. I believe that they are good programs. I just feel as if I can't help but fail.
