I’m Elaine, and I’m 59 years old.  I’ve been fasting for 6 years now, and it still remains the easiest and most effective way of keeping weight off for me.  I’m not one of these people who have been able to lose the initial weight, and never put another pound on - I have had several hiccups along the way, where medication, illness or stress has allowed my weight to rise, and required me to fall back to fasting to get it off again.  But it’s always there.  So reliable for me, and I know I’m lucky that my body always responds to IF very quickly.  I lost my job last year, and that was a very stressful period.  Then Julian and I decided to sell our house, but after nine months, it hadn’t sold, and both of our stress levels were off the scale.  In June of this year, we decided to rent out our house and buy a boat in the Midlands of the UK.  Even that was stressful - leaving a five-bedroom house for a two-bedroom boat was extraordinarily difficult, but, as always, we got through it.  My weight was up and down like a yo-yo, but now I’m out walking again (my only exercise!), and we’re living a relaxed, happy life on the boat.  Winter is about to come, and we think that will be difficult, but I don’t mind difficult things under my control; I just hate when other people drive me down a stressful path!  

 My advice for fasters remains the same from the first time I spoke on Graeme’s podcast - don’t compare yourself to others because comparison is the thief of joy, we are all individuals, and everyone of us will have a different reactionto something someone else is doing, and live your life - IF shouldn’t take the joy from your life, it should add to it because now you look and feel fantastic!!
