Intermittent fasting week 1 session 1

The fasting went incredibly well but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The problem wasn't that I was hungry but I was really bored. I spent the whole time thinking about food and how long I had left until the fast was over. It would be so much easier if I was busier. If I had to give a tip that would be it. You should fill your time with as much things to do as possible to keep your mind off the food.
I also recommend that you drink enough water to keep yourself hydrated because I read somewhere that if you fast without drinking water your blood pressure goes up. However when my fast was over I experienced something weird. When I started eating it didn't matter how much food I ate I just couldn't feel full. I was no longer hungry but I could not feel full which was surprising to me but that's not really a good thing because I almost overate thinking that I needed more food.
That's all I really have to say about that session but the things that you normally don't eat suddenly become so much more appealing when your are fasting so try not to overeat when you break your fast. My weight did not change at all during the fast but I don't really care much about my weight as long as i could lose some body fat.

Weight before fast: 136 pounds
After: 136 pounds
