How wonderful to find a place filled with such hope and inspiration! I started my own journey at birth, lol. I was born at 10lbs and continued upwards from there…to almost 400 lbs. About 10 years ago I had weight loss surgery which went well and I certainly lost weight…almost 200 lbs! I felt wonderful and was so very happy. But cravings remained and after about 3 or 4 years I started to gain again, so slowly that it snuck up on me…ok maybe more of a pounce. lol One day in Oct 2017 I stepped on the scale and found myself at 296. I vowed right then and there I would never hit 300. That began my search in earnest. I took feverishly to the internet and read and read and read. First I found whole foods. It made sense to me that the more processed the food the more likely it was not good for you. So I started eating whole foods. However I was still not eating much in the way of fat and was eating small portions…you know, the typical diet mentality. I was going day by day getting hungrier and hungrier until one day in a starvation stupor, trying to surf the internet, I stumbled on a video of someone talking about Keto. The heavens opened, light streamed down from above and …well maybe isn’t wasn’t that grand but boy is it changing my life and in a very grand way! Thank you again to everyone who. I feel the pain you express and the joy and successes you share. I’ve attached a picture of me at 296 and me today. I’ll try to get one of me at almost 400 and a full body of me today. Until then, KETO ON!
New and Excited
