About a year ago, I was 231lbs and a mess. I tried to get life insurance since I was newly engaged and want to be able to take care of the love of my life should something happened to me, but I was declined. I started with cutting processed sugar and eating whole foods and slowly transitioned to paleo/primal eating. I was able to get down to 199/200lbs and then plateaued for about 3 months. I started on keto on 5/1 to see if I could break through the plateau.
This morning I went to tighten my belt and found I need to get a new belt because this one is now loose. I didn’t realize that I had made this much progress. I also got the phone call today that I was approved for my life insurance policy!!!
