Anyone else doing it? How are you managing it in lockdown?
I started in mid-jan and it was going really well. I usually do 20:4 (window from 4pm-8pm)with a slightly longer window at the weekend so I could go out for drinks.
I'm still going, but I'm struggling! I'm feeling hungrier in the day when I'm not at work as I'm bored. I'm a keyworker so am out of the house 4 days a week, which helps. I've started eating more comfort food, so my choc intake has increased in my window though sometimes out of it. And having wine at home at the weekend means although I'm probably not having more alcohol, but I've got easier access to snacks when the booze weakens my resolve!
Another potential issue is I'm likely eh start doing 12hr shifts soon (I usually do 6hrs). No idea how that will work.
I just don't want to put the weight back on. I've only put on a few pounds and still fit into my "good" clothes, and I would be so pissed off if I get bigger again. But this is such a stressful time, food has always been my crutch.
