I had an aha moment! I sat in my recliner and realized I don’t take up the whole thing anymore lol. But I realized how I had been lying to myself basically my entire life. I would paste a smile on and tell people how happy I was. I always made it a point to vocalize how happy I was, but now I don’t! Now it just oozes drone me! I have the energy to do things, I smile when I speak to people instead of shying away, I’m making new friends and volunteering around town! This way of eating has turned into a lifestyle that I never dreamed possible. I have learned to be silly and I even flirt with my husband now!
My seven year old daughter jumped on my back and wanted to dance, so we did, and she laughed and said I like the new mommy, she’s fun! She has no idea that I always wanted to play with her, I just couldn’t, I would get winded and I didn’t have the strength to carry her around. The ironic thing is that I have lost 2 1/2 of her… and having her on my back made me realize the amount of weight I had been carrying.
I adore my lifestyle changes and I have found self respect, self esteem and pride! I wish I could shout it out from the rooftops how amazing keto is!

Such great words from your daughter! Those are great non-scale victories! Being able to play with our kids is so valuable to us and them. Great job!
Yes, congratulations! I can relate as I feel the same way! Those things I couldn’t do/wouldn’t do are now not only possible, but a breeze!
Enjoy your family! What a blessing!!
