My first "accidental" 22 hour fast

I am that person that if you tell me I “have” to do it I probably won’t and that if you tell me I “can’t” do it I probably will. In light of knowing how my head works I viewed IF as going to be a problematic for me. Lol As this is only week 5 for this WOE for me I hadn’t really concerned myself yet with fasting.

So long story short, I had a dental appointment yesterday morning and didn’t eat before going. Didn’t eat after my appointment because I was numb and by the time the anesthetic had worn off it was 3 p.m. Broke that fast at 4:30 with a nice NY steak and salad.

My observation and thoughts are…
A. I wasn’t hungry!
B. No usual headache from not eating like the one I would get during my carb filled days in the past.
C. That I can do this.
D. That I may have to pay my dentist for a lidocaine injection or three for future extended fasting. LOL

So yeah, that’s the story of my accidental fast.

Congrats @Darlene_Horsley! Yes, it is so nice to not have hunger pangs and headaches and to be able to IF naturally. Sounds like you’re doing well with this WOE!

So far so good and this coming from a previous Coke-aholic! Thank you for the praise.
