practice makes (more) perfect... boxes # n-1 and n...!
(i made way too many so i don't want to disclose the actual number...
)
on a dieting note...
over the past month or two i believe i made a good argument to myself for a maintenance intermittent fasting diet. it started when i posed the question to myself... "why am i intermittent fasting when i really don't have any weight to lose?" yes, i know there are BMI numbers lower than 23, but i was beginning to agree with many people who were commenting that i looked unhealthily thin. of course i could see even at that point how some eating disorders are possible. for even at my lowest weight, i could see areas of fat still on my frame.
anyway... here's what i tried. since i didn't want to lose any more weight, i figured i'd ignore IF every once in a while. if i eat my maintenance calories (ballpark), there should be no reason to always go into a fat burning fasting mode.
so here's the catch i discovered... start eating any time of day again, and it's MUCH easier to start overeating. where i was only eating half a sandwich sometimes... now i was sometimes eating one and a bit more. so in a few months i've managed to slowly creep up into the low 170's.
i've since stopped that practice, though with shortbread in the house it's going to be a tough month or two.
we'll see.
