19 hour fast.

Just finished my longest fast! It was only 19 hours but I'm so happy with myself! I only started a month ago and really fell of the wagon for about a week because I wasn't taking my prescribed Adderall and when that happens all I can think about is eating/food (idk why, but whatever).

The 19 hour fast was actually pretty easy once I got back on my meds which really excites me and motivates me to try longer ones in the future! I did a window where I stopped in mid-afternoon so the majority of the difficult part near the end of the fast I slept through and I'm never hungry in the mornings anyway. I think I'll have to adjust my window to do this method instead but it's super hard for me to resist snacking in the evenings if for no other reason but that I'm in such a habit of doing that and out of boredom. I also go out to dinner a lot with my boyfriend as dates so that's hard to plan around :/ .

Trying really hard to keep very little food in my house and not pick something up on the way home from work so I think that's gonna help. I'm also really trying to ignore the discouragement of gaining weight back from falling off the wagon and the fact that I just started my period :/ .

I want to try no-scale but I'm scared that when I finally break that and get on the scale there will be no change...

The biggest issue I'm currently having is my bad breath and nasty tasting mouth LOL. I didn't even know that was a common side effect until I googled it last night. Just ordered some WOW drops so hopefully that helps!!
