Still playing catchup on posting, so small updates for now...
Yesterday I overate by a fairly big margin without trying. Today I underate by a fairly big margin... again, without trying. I really think that my body recognized that I had a ton of calories yesterday, and as a result I wasn't hungry until much later in the day. In fact, I'd actually forgotten today was a fasting day. My plan was to go 7pm to 7pm, but I hadn't eaten since well before midnight the day before so I decided to end the fast with a little trip to Taco Bell.
I'm concerned about starving myself. It's my goal to eat healthy, and not eating isn't healthy. But I honestly did wait to eat until I felt hungry. I can't be too upset about that. Besides, a starvation diet will only last so long before you give it up and rebound by overeating. Eating enough to feel full and content is my goal, except on fast days. But I'm not going to force feed myself calories that I don't want.
Interestingly, after overeating yesterday, my scale weight dropped by 2.4 pounds. So although I was 200-300 over my metabolic rate (although once you count exercise I was probably at a 100 calorie deficit, plus or minus a few hundred calories), I dropped enough weight to account for eight to nine thousand calories in terms of fat loss. Since I'm pretty sure I didn't run for the entire 24 hours (and if I didn't, I'm still not sure that I could burn that many calories), we have to conclude that once again, the scale lies. Don't put too much faith into daily gains and losses.
