The Fasting Highway

By Susan Oxley

Hello, I’m a 52-year-old wife to an amazing man and mommy to two very precious kitty cats. I’ve always felt that I was extremely blessed to have lived what many would call a charmed life. I grew up in a loving family and had all the opportunities someone could ask for, but like many of us, I found myself struggling with my weight as I made my way into my 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s.

Over the years, I tried many diets and exercise regimes that allowed me to lose a good amount of weight (40, 50, even 65 lbs). I found losing weight to be pretty easy because I was good at sticking to whatever calorie restriction/counting plan I adopted. However, eventually, I would tire of the restrictions and/or required exercise and go back to my prior habits regaining the weight and then some. I really tried to hold on to the hope that I would find a solution, one day! I reached a point in the last few years where I was approaching morbid obesity. I was successful in so many other pursuits, marriage, career, friendships, etc. but managing my weight just seemed to be the impossible challenge.

A couple of months into the pandemic, on May 25, 2020, I came across the mention of IF and the Delay, Don’t Deny book in a Facebook group. I remembered a couple of people I knew in real life that were successful IF-ers. Their stories had planted a seed, but I wasn’t ready at the time. It sounded way too hard! But that day, that magical day, I decided to listen to the Delay, Don’t Deny book on Audible and so it all began…

IF has allowed me to shed 75 lbs from my 5’7” frame. I am very excited to see what the future brings as I continue to practice IF
