Hey sorry for the late reply.  Work has actually been busy, I haven't had time to respond.    I was in a rush when I made the submission. Here is basically how the rest of the conversation went, ham - yea well I don't drink soda very often.  You're supposed to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day.  Me - there are many ways to eat healthy, this is just one of the ways I choose to do it.  ham - what if its your moms birthday? and they are like.. .eating at noon?  (I don't start eating till 4pm) me - then I just would have water... roommate - well that seems a bit excessive This is when I got a bit more agitated and defensive. me - why?  Why is it whenever there is an event or anything whatsoever out of the ordinary I am obligated to stuff my face?  We literally make excuses to overeat all the time.  Birthdays... holidays... date nights... weekends..  and as time goes on it seems like the "special occasions" become more and more common as just an excuse to eat another pizza or piece of cake.  Either one of the two of you, feel free to do some research and provide me with a source that says intermittent fasting is unhealthy? If you do then we can argue about this.    After this they kinda dropped it and I left to go play volleyball.   Didn't really hear about it again.
