One thing that I really like about intermittent fasting is that I control food rather than food controlling me.  If I can go 24+ hours without eating, then I surely can resist a piece of cake, candy, or anything else that could be deemed harmful to my health. I hate that feeling that I get when I eat something that I know I shouldn’t have. It’s the feeling of guilt that I have let myself down, that maybe I have not done everything I could have to resist that temptation. I know how much food controls my emotions. During times of high stress or fatigue, food is the first thing I think of when trying to “deal”. . Fasting gives that control back to me. To me, it’s a much better feeling to say that I have resisted all food for the last 24 hours than to say I resisted a bag of M&M’s.   They are both huge feats but the fast gives me better control over the small things. It helps me break that viscous cycle that food has over me. It gives me back the power and I like that.
