The clock was ticking and I was in agony…
I had just begun a new “time-restricted eating” habit where I could only eat between the hours of 10 AM and 6 PM.

That’s what I told myself in 2011 when I had decided that I was going to officially end any relationship with physical exercise. I was convinced that I no longer needed it. I was beginning to learn more about what I was really passionate about – psychology, writing and becoming an entrepreneur.
