Good times, indeed! I'm glad for you, Leslie! I've dieted off and on for over 30 years and have had about the same experience you did with the loss of normal eating habits leading to overeating with my weight yo-yoing over years. I love the abstinence that is built-in with this fasting lifestyle. I've noticed that remarkable and amazing feeling of CONTROL happening to me, too. Love it! It seems almost miraculous. I'm now into my fifth week of intermittent fasting and going strong.
Best,
Joy

> The most remarkable thing I am noticing (which I am really happy about) is the feeling of being in "CONTROL". I have dieted on and off for 28 years which inevitably led to a loss of normal eating habits. I would continually pick at foods all day, overeat at all meals and generally cram food into my mouth at any opportunity.

> I love this total abstinence during the day. Not having to worry about what I need to eat for breakfast, lunch, snacks and more snacks. Most addictions rely on the addict totally giving up their vice like smoking, drugs, alcohol. We cant do that with food but I reckon this is the next best thing.
