As of today I am on day 9 of intermittent fasting and counting calories, I have a lot more energy today than normal but that also can because I actually slept last night but I feel healthier today than I have in a long time and I know it will take time to start seeing results and I know I don't have as much to loose as others but I am feeling good about it I have done a lot of research about IF and talked to people who are doing IF as well and I am feeling very confident in the lifestyle that I am choosing and on the plus side it can help me loose weight and help me get back into feeling confident in my own body again because I haven't liked my own body in years and it is about time I started to.
