    I’m so jealous of people who have to hit minimums. I have the worst time controlling my intake.

      It’s feeling bad after you eat because you ate too much vs feeling bad while you eat because you’re forcing yourself to eat. Neither extreme is fun, I can promise you that.

      The only upside is that others look at you and think you’re healthy. I don’t think eating more than your body wants is any easier than eating less.

      Intermittent fasting is a good tool to help take in calories. Of course this assumes you’re consuming mostly whole foods. If you eat a lot of higly processed food you can still ingest way too many calories, even with a small eating window

        Since January, I have stopped consuming any calories other than what comes in my non-sweetened tea until lunch time. You wouldn’t believe how my stomach bothers me while waiting!

          Still bothers you and it’s been so long? Damn… I’ve been doing it for a month and I’m already used it.
