I have been struggling, or stalling, or not focusing enough on success. I was over 270lbs in January of this year. I’ve seen 228lbs on my scale this month. Stupid scale shows 23X and back to 229ish on random days.
I decided to trust the process and the science when I was stalled in the 240s a few months ago.
I need to stop stressing (# cortisol) and focus on contentment. I may be lazy keto but repairs are happening in my body.
Today I decided I’m not deprived, I’m making progress, and regardless of a scale I’m successful and can be content. I don’t think I’m the only one here who has felt discouraged occasionally. My NSV is to KCKO with the help of this great group.
Keto Contentment
@Mr.A46221 Andrew, good post. That sense of peace is so important (even though it can be elusive at times). Almost all of us had many years getting to where we were. That it takes time to go in a healing, more healthful direction is a fact we cannot dodge. Great satisfaction awaits, so must we struggle as we go along?
Well yeah, because we’re human, and that stuff is easy to say. I still think about those big bowls of soup with 80 saltine crackers dumped in.
You’ve lost 15+% of your body weight, and you know where that came from. Cheers, man.
I started keto to lose weight. I lost 30lbs really quick but slowed to maybe a couple pounds a month now. I still have 100 more I could lose, but I feel so great regardless of my weight that it isn’t the point anymore. Everyone keeps asking me how much I am losing now, but that’s not my goal anymore. I just want to keep feeling good. This way, I can not fail.
