    Yes, I had a lot of disordered eating in my late teens and early twenties. It wasn't intermittent fasting so much as just plain starving myself and the occasional binge session. I'm in a lot healthier place now, mentally speaking. I don't think I'll go back to that extreme. Looking back, it was very mentally taxing to be so hard on myself all the time. I don't have the willpower to hate myself that much anymore, if that makes sense. I've grown soft, inside and outside!

      yeah, my weight loss was definitely powered by self-hatred, as was your experience with disordered eating :agony:
      if you think your mental health is in check i'd highly advise trying IF out and, if you enjoyed it, not only doing it for dieting but for the rest of your life for health reasons
