I'm finally confident enough to claim that my weight is now hovering in the 94 kg to 96 kg range. While it may not be as fast as other people who do intermittent fasting, I am happy with the results because I managed to control my weight.
Last Friday I decided to ramp it up a bit more by downloading the Zero Fasting Tracker app. What it basically does is it helps me keep track of my fasts. Unfortunately I downloaded it just as we were going to Lucena for the Niyogyugan Festival 2019. This basically meant I wasn't hitting my 16:8 fasting.
It wasn't that bad since I was still getting used to constantly updating the app. Now that I'm back in Metro Manila I've gone back to my 16:8 fasts. So far I've been going over the usual 16 hours, usually by 30 minutes or so.
It is actually normal since I usually eat between 11am to 7pm. And we're usually done eating around 6:30pm.
I've also bought some yellow sweet potatoes I was supposed to only eat at dinner. However my mom has been cooking good food lately so the best I can do is just eat little portions of her food.
Hopefully developing a habit of updating the app will help me focus more on my intermittent fasting and help me get my weight to hover in the 92 kg - 95 kg range. We shall see.
I still have no firm goals with this and am just going with the flow.
Out.

[818] Ramping Up
I've decided to do my best to intermittent fast everyday. Past few weeks I was successfully doing my 16:8 IF weekdays with Saturdays and Sundays being my "cheat days." There was something I noticed.
Around Friday I would be at around 95kg. After the weekend I would be around 97kg. That meant whenever I ate breakfast (plus eating out and enjoying it) I would gain what weight I lost.
This weekend I'm trying to maintain my IF even during the weekends. More importantly I'm trying my best to stick to my portion control. I'd rather gain one kilogram of weight and lose two a week rather than just moving back and forth. Two steps forward one step back is acceptable, though I would rather just keep moving forward. So we'll see.
It took me quite a while to make IF a habit, and hopefully I can keep it up and make the weekends part of my IF and portion control habit. I don't expect to be able to do this immediately but hopefully in a week or so I'll be able to maintain my weight and finally normalize at a weight well below 95kg.
