^^^^ I have a 9-5. Office job - boring stuff. I'm only used to it bc I've been fasting since I was a teen - for spiritual reasons though. I could see how someone new to it would be ready to blow their brains out at the though of not eating for a long spell though. lol It takes time go get adjusted to it.
Staying busy is key and keeping your mind off food. You have to learn to recognize certain cues that trigger your brain for "hunger". I put hunger in quotations bc, most times we're not hungry, it's just the thought of food. It's our five senses fooling us a bit. It could be somebody at the job pulling out a lunch menu. It could be you remembering a jingle from a Burger King commercial. Or the rattling or crunching of chips you hear could trigger it. Or maybe smells and aromas from the lunch room. I take a sip of water or chew some gum and the small craving goes away for a few hours.

It's absolutely mental. You think you're hungry, but it's just conditioning of how you think you're supposed to eat at certain times. I was just talking to a woman at work today who had offered me some candy and I told her I wouldn't be eating until later on today. She was like
, and I still emailed her some information. She was like but you gotta be hungry, and I was like nah, I'm good. During the day I got some diet soda and a jug of ice water, and that keeps me good until I get home and crush buildings.

Big question,aiming to loose body fat,should i still be aiming for -500 caloric deficit every day while on IF? N how important is it that i eat post work out or at end of feeding window??
eat when it's TIME to eat. not after the workout
the fast increases your sensitivity to insulin (a more anabolic substance than any celltech) so when do eat your body just EJACULATES INSULIN ALL OVER THE GODDAMN PLACE

Depends on what those meals consisted of
It's simple man, just eating what you'd normally eat, just in a certain time block each day

You're eating window isn't 12-8 if you're not eating at... 12 and 8.
Put the days majority of calories after the workout.
I think this shyt is affecting my moodI've felt so fukkin mean and angry. every time i sense someone walking behind me I have to restrain myself from pullin a Jet Li.
Whats your carbs looking like
they've been cut in proportion with everything else.
might need an all out recomp. but I've also been on a libido stack, which could also be a cause.

Day 2 friends 
I've done it for just over a week and a half and I like it 
Stomach only growled for the first two days, but everything after that has been fine. Sometimes I feel I have to force myself to eat more since I didn't seem to be eating enough for a couple days here and there.
I work a 9 to 5, so basically I've been eating at 12:30 p.m., 4:00 p.m., work out and then eat "breakfast" at 8:00 p.m.
