[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to eliminate eating completely from the majority of the day. I eat for about 8 hours per day and I fast for at least 16 (often more like 17-18).

I'm still overweight but my "fat" pants are getting too loose again. I'm on my way down.

This is the best way I've found to curb my eating. I eat whatever I like during my eating time, but when it's over, I abstain completely except for herbal tea and water (lemon slices allowed). [/quote]

I don’t want to get too far away from the emotional eating questions, but what do you have for your first meal of the day? My normal eating time frame is 9 am - 7 pm. I’ve tried to stretch it to 12:12, but find myself cranky, short tempered and overeating everything by 3:00. It’s also the time my kids get home from school, so it’s not a good combo.

I do 6 to about 1 or 2 pm. I’m a teacher and all the mental work I do early in the day requires fuel.

Night eating for me was about emotions so eliminating food from that time is working. I’m usually not hungry before 7 or so so it’s three hours and then I’m asleep.

I still eat a lot of calories though as I’m pretty overweight and willing to lose slowly. I think I’m losing about 1/2 pound per week.

Trying to feed the kids and myself filled me with anger fueled overeating. I’m able to handle this period of the day so much better off food completely. [/quote]
