Half an hour left before I break my fast / myLot

I had too much to eat yesterday that I thought I'd fast for at least 12 hours overnight and allow my usual biological processes to do their thing.

I'm supposed to break the fast at 9 a.m. I don't really feel hungry but my brain keeps telling me that I'm supposed to eat (out of duty). I'm keeping myself busy with myLot and YouTube so I don't give in. I'm also chatting with a friend and with my apartment neighbors on Viber. I'll probably just reheat the chicken sandwich that my husband brought home yesterday. It's made by our favorite sandwich shop, "The Sandwich Guy". The husband probably ordered it for me after I told him about the Chick-fil-a video that I watched on YT.

It's not healthy to ignore hunger, not unless this is under strict doctor supervision. Rule of thumb, eat when you're hungry.

I honestly didn't feel hungry at all after that 12-hour fasting. I could've stretched it to 14 hours but I didn't want to wait 'til I got very hungry because I suffer from GERD. So I had my chicken sandwich at 9:05 a.m.

It's already 12:42 p.m. and I still feel FULL.

Intermitting fasting is a good thing to do, especially if we eat more than we should. Hope that you enjoyed your chicken sandwich.

Yes, I do this once in a while. Maybe once or twice a week, especially if I feel that I ate too much the day before. I need time to digest all the food and get rid of toxins. It's easy to do it over the weekend or when you don't need to go out on errands the following day.
