Hello Keto Family!
I had a rough last couple of weeks as far as diet is concerned. I started tapering off one of my antidepressants under doctor supervision and it was a little more than I could handle. I started slipping into a state of depression about a week ago and when that happened I noticed I slowly slipped away from my diet and eventually fell completely off. I had to call into work yesterday because my depression was so great that all I could do was cry and sleep. I’ve been dealing with co-occurring depression and drug abuse issues since I was about 14. I’ve been clean for a bit now but I came close to relapsing yesterday as the depression was so great and overwhelming. Luckily I didn’t pick up and put a drug into my arm and for that I am extremely grateful. I’ve got a bunch of great support around me and was able to get through that without picking up.
Got off track, ended up eating a whole pizza yesterday and like 6 maybe more like 10 snicker bars ( I NEEDED COMFORT FOOOOOD) and today have had some red bull and a mountain dew that made me feel like I was on crack again.
So! I am here to make a commitment to myself and to my keto family that I am getting back on the wagon again. I loved the energy, mental clarity, focus and of course the weight loss that came with Keto. I, Joseph, do solemnly swear that I will be back on the Keto wagon starting tomorrow, August 3, 2017!
Just had to post it here so I had something to get me motivated again and to check in and say HELLO!
KCKO peeps!
