Awesome loss! Welcome to the group!1

So last night was super fun, and I ate way to much! I had no alcohol and no dessert! I had tons of chips and guacamole and salsa, three enchiladas, rice and beans. I feel like a bloated mess with urges of heart burn.
The conversation and laughter was priceless. I probably just need to better listen to my body when it's full, especially in social situations.

It was so very good! Mexican is always my favorite! I love salsa more than words!1 -
Dinner tonight is light, couldn't manage more than 500 cals. I have a severe migraine. Had a 21 hour fast, but I shall be back on schedule for tomorrow. I am going to bed early tonight for sure.

Glad you enjoyed your evening out. I've done the same before with not knowing when to stop, body doesn't have a nice way to make it clear that we did though, it makes us pay! Lol
Hope you get a good night's rest and that your migraine goes away.0 -
Brilliant start Sammy awesome drop and great chart I love it !0

@wsandy8512, I thankfully slept off the worse of it. I woke up bright and bushy tailed this morning. Thank goodness for it, I hate going to work with a splitting headache, and my co-workers don't like it either.
Thank you @barbheart I like being creative!2 -
Dinner was another small one. Just haven't been the mood to eat. Just shy of 600 cals.

I think I'm almost always in the mood to eat, sigh! Take it when you can (as long as it isn't a daily thing)!0

Sammy, you're doing great!
That's cool that you have a fasting timer, too. How cool!0 -

I am a big Fan of the timer, because sometimes I get so far out of my range that I can draw it back in... It also keeps tracks of all my fast since I have had it downloaded. So that is cool to be able to look at.2 -

I will be heavy tonight. I am really hungry!

Dinner tonight was sublimely amazing. Veggie burger, and a few bites of cheese fries. Dinner out with a girlfriend. Best way to end a long day at work. I know the veggie burger was around 300 cals, perhaps 500 to 600 for the fries. Let's face all that cheese.

Looks amazing!! My kind of meal...1

yummie yummie meals!!! I do agree sometimes we aren´t hungry...in my Paleo days, this was a sign that we were already in "cetosis" and the doc following my case was not encouraging me to fast but he said that if you didnt feel like eating just get going into a fast and break it when hunger returned. I remember I did a 48h spontaneous fast at that time..I actually forgot I did it...but it was sooo natural that I didnt even think I was fasting..and then I resumed eating normally... I recon our bodies are made to do that...feast and fast depending on so many internal and external conditions...3

I agree, it okay not to force yourself to eat for the sake of amount of Calories. I feel like if I am having 500 to 600 calorie meals a few nights a week, with a couple nights of 2,000 because I am finally am hungry enough to do it justice, I am still in the deficient.
Of course before I started OMAD I would always be hungry and ate all the time, 2,000 calorie meals were the norm twice a day. So I am still better than I was.5 -
I agree with the "going by feel" approach. It has not failed me yet in terms of diet, fasting or exercise.
If you don't feel like a big meal don't stuff yourself, and if you're extra hungry go for it.
If we just eat until feeling comfortably full we're more likely to be giving our bodies just what it needs and no more and feeling very satisfied.3 -
This is how my manager bribes me to work through lunch. The pop from her lunch take out, and Sonic water, extra ice.

What's special about Sonic's water? Sorry if that's a dumb question -- I didn't grow up with Sonic!0

It isn't the water itself. Its the ice, they have the most wonderful semi-crushed ice.
And for an Ice eater like me, it in my daily routine.1 -
Oh okay! I do love me some crushed ice. I don't know why it's so special but it seems like it makes every drink taste better!0

I do wonder about totally eating by feel though. If that worked without any pre-deternined diet schedule, none of us would have gotten fat. For about the 1st 33-yrs of my life, that worked for me and I ate all I wanted, what I wanted, when I wanted and I didn't gain weight much (was about 160-lbs at age 25, 180 at ages 27-33 or so and then started gaining after that). I even force fed-myself to try to gain weight when I was lower than 160 (16-yr old at 145 at my same height as I'm at now). At age 33 I went back to grad school and stayed up late everynight doing homework and usually ate chips and salsa and ice-cream to keep me going. That was the beginning of my bad weight gain!0 -

Oh gracious, sweet lady, do you actually crave ice? I used to crave it, daily, for years! Please have your iron checked. Pica is a medical term used to describe cravings for non-foods like baking soda, nail polish, sand... and ice. Ice being especially associated with a severe iron deficiency. After I learned about it, I had my iron checked and I had severe anemia due to heavy menstrual cycles.
