Confession: Target has these bulk containers full of candy such as Jelly Bellys, Swedish Fish, Aussie Style Licorice, sweet and sour gummie candy, etc. I ate a pound yesterday and a half pound today.

This is why I always come back to the "food addiction" stuff. It's not the diets that matter, it's breaking your habit. You made a conscious choice to fail (by buying the candy in the first place) and then binged.Don't fail. Smokers can't have "just one" cigarette after they've quit. Likewise, you shouldn't have "just one" piece of candy

The 16-18 hour fasts are saving me from gaining weight. While I was there today, I bought some apples, oranges, and bananas. This should help with the cravings tomorrow. I am fasting from 2pm today to 8am tomorrow morning with a 3-5 mile run before breaking the fast.
How easy is the early afternoon till next breakfast fast these days? Most find a dinner till late lunch quite a bit easier.

As you might imagine, it can be boring at times. I can't go all day without thinking about food. 1:00pm is as long as I can stand it. I get home about 6:30pm and I do about an hour of chores. I sit down to either watch the Tampa Bay Rays or watch an HBO series. I'll have a glass of red wine about 8-10 ounces. It works for me. My runner/cycling carb friends can't believe that I can fast for 16-20 hours and then run a 4 mile fast (7:30 pace) training run. I run so much better in a fasted state. Sometimes, I start to have second thoughts about fasting so much, but my body has adapted to it and it's not affecting my performance. So, why not? I take it day by day.
