So the intermittent fasting attempt has officially ended as of today. I really tried and the issue was not the limited time for eating. That didn't cause me any issues. I actually adjusted the times from her initial 11-7 to 12-8 as the worked better for me with my work schedule to not start eating until my lunch hour.
However, the problem was that it completely messed up my medications. I would take my thyroid meds when I woke up great cause I can't eat right away after taking them anyway, but then I would get busy with doing work and since I wouldn't stop to eat anything I would not take any of my other medications. Noon would roll around and I was a mess. My focus shot because I hadn't taken my ADD meds, mood stabilizers, muscle relaxers or NSAIDS and I would spend the rest of the day playing catch up. I am going to reach out to the dietitian and try to move up our follow up appointment and see is there is a way to see her and figure out a way to discuss my eating disorder issues in a way that will not end up in shared medical records with my PCP. I know that may not be possible and I know that I may have to either figure out a way to concede to him knowing about things I have kept from him or to find a dietitian that is not connected to his medical group but I can't have my attempts to lose weight and eat better derail my medications either.
Why does it feel as though nothing seems to go right with my health physical or mental?
