Maryanne Stebbins

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Maryanne Stebbins from Beaverton, OR.

Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we all embrace the clean fast, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your intermittent fasting lifestyle.

You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she will answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group. After your fast start, join us for support in The 1st Year group. Need tips for long term maintenance? We have a place for that! There are many more useful spaces beyond these, and you can interact in as many as you like.

Visit ginstephens.com/community to join us. An annual membership costs just over a dollar a week when you do the math. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.

IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community.

A friend shared intermittent fasting with Maryanne. She read Delay, Don't Deny, and began her IF journey in November of 2019. She found it easy and lost 40 pounds quickly.

And then life turned upside down. Between the stressful pandemic of March 2020, grad school, a new role in her job, and raising teenagers, Maryanne gained back most of the 40 pounds she had lost. Things felt out of control, and fasting felt hard.

Gin encouraged Maryanne to listen to her body during this difficult time, not to force anything, and know that she is not alone. We all go through seasons where IF feels difficult. Maryanne is focusing on the things for which to be grateful, and taking it one day at a time.

Maryanne’s advice: “Let go of expectations. Go with the flow. IF is a journey.”
