I have created this thread specifically to help me stay on track and not cheat during my fasting window. I would appreciate help with holding myself accountable. Feel free to ask me if I've waited.... :-)

Tuesday, March 20th- Yes, I did. With being on spring break and my daughter at her grandma's house, I laid in bed surfing the internet until 10:00am before I took a shower and had a delicious lunch with my husband. Today was easy. We'll see what tomorrow brings. My biggest hurdle is not drinking coffee with cream first thing in the morning.1

Congrats on day 1 and I'm sending you good vibes for tomorrow

You've got this, girly! Sending you supportive vibes!

You can do it, You are more powerful than your craving!1

Hey Arizona.... did you stop eating at 7pm like you planned? Why, yes! I did. Even when my husband and child snacked on popcorn while watching a movie at 7:08.2

good job last night, no coffee today until after 11, OK0
-
Stay strong! You control food, it doesn't control you!1

Oh, I love that you made a separate thread for this! Good for you!0

It is 8:17am and I have not had coffee yet. I filled my coffee tumbler with water instead. Definitely not the same, but so far so good!0

That coffee will be so much better and more gratifying at 11 because you stuck to your plan and didn't give in. You can do it!1

Wednesday March 21- yes!
I fasted until 11am today! That makes 2 days in a row. I almost cheated. I had brewed a pot of coffee and considered just pouring the cream in and drinking it anyway. I didn't pour in the cream though....ended up just drinking 2 sips of black coffee (gross btw) and poured it all down the sink deciding to wait until 11.
Took my daughter to the mall to see the Easter bunny and had a steak sandwich for lunch at 11. Came home and am now enjoying coffee with vanilla cream.
Next goal...close my feeding window at 7pm. This will be tough as we have e-book practice tonight!1 -
Not e-book, t-ball practice.0

I would have poured that black coffee down the drain too, yuck!!! Great job and good luck with your next goal 1
-
Hahaha! I LOVE black coffee! Good for you on facing that challenge head-on and making the best choice for you! I bet you enjoyed that sandwich with a side of triumph 1
-
I closed my feeding window at 7:08pm tonight. Nothing except for water until 11:08am tomorrow.1

@brittdee88 I didn't even like coffee for several years until I got a job working in a coffee shop in my 20's. Now it is a serious habit!0

You are very right!0 -
It is currently 8:03 in Arizona. 3 hours and 5 minutes until I can break my fast. I am noticing that I am not as hungry today. I am thinking this is due to having a lot of calories during my feeding window yesterday.0
-
That is great! You can totally do it!

It will be easier and easier each day that you hold to the fast. Soon you will not be thinking about anything until it is about time for you to break your fast. Continue to hold out and you will reap the rewards. Nothing until 11:00 - You can do it!1

Oh man, I have been a big coffee drinker since high school. The caffeine doesn't really do anything for me, and maybe that's why it never became a real addiction, but I just LOVE the taste of good coffee. When I moved here and found I could get a strong Cuban espresso shot any time I wanted, I have been having a couple of them a few times a week. LOVE it. But again, I always have them without cream and sugar, so I never had a real problem with them interrupting my fast. You can do this, and you may even grow to like it black!
Honestly I think it's good that you had a higher intake last night and are finding you aren't as hungry today because maybe that was the real missing piece -- you may not have been eating enough and were consequently craving additional calories outside of your mealtime.1 -
Day 3 of holding my fast until 11. I did it, I waited until 11:30 actually. Had a large lunch with my family and feel content. 3 more days of spring break and I will be back at work with a more structured day.0
-
Great job!!!!1
-
Nice!!!1

Third. March 22- closed the eating window well before 7pm. No calories until 11am tomorrow morning. I also purposely did not buy more coffee creamer. I am out, so that means coffee isn't even an option tomorrow morning.2

You’re doing great! Keep that streak going!!!0
