There seems to be a psychological barrier about how easy it 'should' be or 'used to' be, and you beat yourself up about it which makes things even worse. Every time I've made a habit of extended fasting, or prolonged intermittent fasting, and taken a break longer than 6 to 9 weeks, restarting is very... very hard.
