My Intermittent Fasting (IF) journey began back when the pandemic hit Malaysia. As we went on a lockdown, I realised that this is going to be a few challenging months ahead dealing with the pandemic, and as someone living alone, it was a challenge on its own.

Having the idea that I want to do something for myself during this lockdown, many ideas were going around the internet, many were suggesting to pick up new hobbies, learn a new language etc, but none of them appealed to me. I did try to sign up for some online courses but realised I didn’t have the discipline to follow through it.

As March went by, many were already complaining that they are putting on weight considering all of us are homebound and lacked physical activities. This was my turning point, as I scrolled social media and saw everyone talking about putting on weight, I decided that I want to come out of this pandemic in a very different way, to try something that I have never done before or people have seen before – me at my ideal body weight.

I have always been overweight, as far as I can remember, I can’t recall when was the last I was at my ideal weight, it was probably during my Primary school (Grade 1-6) days. Since my high school, I have been on the overweight category which led to obesity as time went.

So with the motivation to come out of this pandemic very differently from others, to also be a fuel for my positivity, I started my IF journey with me realising I was doing IF. It all started with me planning to eat lesser and I wanted to cut down my dinner. And as a person who generally don’t like to eat breakfast, I was only left with lunch to eat, but I had also had the habit of snacking.

As I wanted to find a proper diet regime, I discovered IF. I did some research and realised that I am already doing this by not having breakfast, so all I have to do is cut the dinner and stop the snacking.

16 months later, almost at my ideal body weight, I am still experimenting what is going to be best moving forward as I am reaching my ideal body weight
