Hi Barata,
I was a fat child also, and I agree with you about having to unlearn those childhood habits.
Funnily enough though I stumbled accidentally on intermittent fasting (when I didn’t even know there was a name for it) in my late 20s and early 30s. I finally stopped eating the breakfasts I’d never wanted as a child but was conditioned to eat. Also we were busy then, and skipped meals sometimes depending on circumstances. Indeed, OH was always a natural faster, and would often cook a meal for friends or family, but not eat it himself because he wasn’t hungry (Anyone else would have eaten just to be conventional of course!) That was my slimmest period as an adult, until now. Unfortunately I then unlearnt those new habits and got brainwashed back into 3 meals a day plus snacks!
Now there’s science behind it I see no reason why I can’t stick with it for life this time. The joy of finally being allowed to eat when I’m hungry and not eat when I’m not! And OH, bless him? I no longer hassle him to eat 3 meals a day! He always eats the evening meal, but at weekends I’m no longer hovering over him, sandwich in hand. I now understand his erratic eating is healthy, and the reason why he’s in his 50s with no paunch (yet)!
