Day 3 complete. I have done OMAD on the past and lost 40 pounds. As a person with severe binge eating disorder, I find it better if I wait until after 4pm to eat my meal. If I eat at lunch, I end up losing control and eating throughout the rest of the day. Also, my energy doesn’t crash midday, and I get a lot more done. But I did find myself kinda white knuckling it today. I don’t think I ate enough calories yesterday, but I don’t want to calorie count because I get a little too obsessive, it becomes a chore, and then I start to resent OMAD. I will probably start entering my meals in My Fitness Pal, once I feel like I’m in the groove. I’m also not going to be weighing myself this time. That also throws me off and it’s defeating to me if the scale doesn’t budge, so I end saying “why bother”. I’m going to trust the process, let my body adjust, and see how it feels. I’m also trying to focus on the other benefits of OMAD, besides weight loss.

I hope we are able to support each other on this health journey! I know it won’t be easy, but community definitely helps.
