The Joys of Eating Once A Day

Also, I'm not completely sure how tall I am,

You don't know how tall you are?

Yeah, really. WTF? Have you never been to a doctor? Or been curious for that matter? Who doesn't know how tall they are?

Edit: You replied while I was posting.

Your doctor would be the accurate one. Who ever applied for your driver's license would have written whatever number is on that. Your family may not have the means to measure accurately. But I seriously cannot believe someone who says they don't know how tall they are. That's crazy. LOL.

Well I DID give an estimate! I said 5'5 or 5'6. (Doesn't height change during the day anyway?) That is to say that I'm not totally clueless. I'm not bouncing through feet here...

You seriously think height changes during the day??? Wow, how old are you?

You didnt know your spine compresses during the day in turn making you slightly shorter (not that much) and lengthens while you sleep? How old are you?

Sorry. I guess dry humor doesn't transcend well online...

Here are two articles to read in your past-time though:

Lol dont even bother, some people obviously lack common knowledge anyways go you for doing something youve found works for you while eating well above the lowest calorie limit for healthy weightloss

I just recently made a blog and posted an article on my turbulent journey to weight loss, as well as my new-found discovery to eating once a day. aka. intermittent fasting.

If you're looking for an interesting read, take a look. I didn't write it to necessarily be deterred. (translation: no hate please)
I went from binging to not binging. Eating junk food to eating primarily wholesome stuff. And being free from the bondage of not thinking about food, counting calories, or anything else. So why do I have a MFP account? Just because.

It may not work for all, but for those who are interested in taking a stab at it, it just might help.

Enjoy!

Nope. You didn't say anything about height. Not a word until you interjected the statement, "5'5" or 5'6" for your guesstimate. The other posters aren't "picking" on you, they're curious without having all the information is all. I'm glad you have a program that works out for you and your lifestyle.

if it works for you, more power to you! kinda like low carbers, if it suits them then go for it. however, im hypoglycemic! every time i see these posts i cringe a little for those people who dont consider how bad it can be for someone this is one of my "dont do it".lists, haha

My wife's been doing it for a 5+ months. She was already at upper normal weight and lost about 10#s, it definitely eliminates snacking. Ive done once or twice when I want to save up for a big dinner out.

I love that you found something that has worked for you! Your journey is inspiring! I too have failed when trying to follow everyone's advice, but have been highly successful with experimenting and finding what works best for me. IF is something I just recently have discovered from a successful friend on MFP. When your work life does not lend itself to regular eating, IF may be the answer to get a variety of nutrients. I have not tried IF, but have been considering it for one of my experiments. I am sorry that there are so many unkind and misinformed repliers to your post. Know that your strength can inspire many of us. Stay on your strong side.
