I'm curious to know how your experience ending it today is like compared to before you started it. Do you feel like it's easier or harder to eat less compared to before your fast?

Easier to eat less by nature since my stomach is smaller, but overall I would say there is no expectation that the fast would magically regulate my an unhealthy relationship with food/consumption. My poor habits have to be addressed separately (particularly my beer consumption rose quite a bit in the last few years).

The fast served as a kickstart toward weight loss and in a way a test of my resolve.

I'm continuing to fast fwiw, doing what is known as "rolling 48s" which is just a large meal every other day. I went for a couple mile jog last night after starting to eat again and felt pretty good so I'm going to keep doing that while fasting for short periods and see where this takes me.
