hi jameelah, and welcome. first i want to wish you luck and tell you this is a great lifestyle. when i first started, i ate a LOT during my window. i quit for a couple of months then started again because i believe in fast 5. after a year i will eat outside my window once or twice a month but overall, i don't want to go back to eating all the time. it's just too much food not to mention all the benefits of fasting for 19 hours.
there are plenty of times though that i want to eat even when i am not hungry. before my window opens i just tell myself i am going to eat something really yummy but i'm going to wait little while. i get busy and next thing i know, it's been an hour or more and it's time to eat.
in the evening when my window is closed if i start thinking about eating, i think about all the yummy things i'm going to eat ... tomorrow during my window. if i still have the urge i drink some peppermint tea. mmmm dessert!
good luck and again welcome
Sam

> My name is Jameelah and I started Fast-5 last Thursday after reading the ebook twice. I've chosen to make my eating window 5p - 9p since I need to be in bed by 10p. I have no problem with fasting during the 20 hrs; I have had a little hunger but nothing I couldn't handle with drinking water or tea. My biggest issue is overeating when I do eat. I have the urge to eat even though I'm not hungry. Especially when my eating window is about to close.
