Interesting. How long is eventually by the way?

  It's hard to say, but probably not more than a month. I think I compensated a bit by saving some calories to eat directly before bed, but there was definitely some time of simply powering through it. If the Fella plan makes things like this easier then that sounds pretty cool.

    re: powering through, any tactics you used? Or literally just there in bed promising yourself not to move?

      Water helped to an extent. I believe at some point I just lied there for a while and didn't give in. Eating just a little but not enough to not have a deficit anymore also helped. I've done this whole thing very slow and steady in general, and I think that helps with consistency. Someone here or on reddit once had a problem with their mind keeping them up for either hunger or to check their phone or something, and they started doing pushups every time it happened, and some part of the brain learned the association and cut it out. I never did that but it might be worth trying.

        Helpful to know, thanks!
