Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My eating has no shape to it
- My eating is all over the place
- I graze from morning until midnight with no real boundary, snacking late out of boredom, and I want one simple rule
- I eat clean food but I eat it late
- I do fine with my eating window until a late dinner with friends comes up, and then I treat the one exception as proof I’ve blown it and abandon the whole thing for a week
