Maybe we can start a monthly keto gratitude post.
I’m grateful for so much but I will be brief. This Friday I turn 65 years old. I now have so much more confidence that my healthspan will be significantly long, full of energy, mobility and mental clarity due to Keto.
Every day That I wake up and am 5’8" above ground is a great day.
And of course huge gratitude for the Two Keto Dudes @richard @carl and this forum.
Last but not least 
KCKO
I am thankful for my mental shift.
Although I have made major changes to my body, I am much more impressed with the transformation of my mind.
It’s difficult to explain but Keto has helped regulate my moods, not that I was ever unstable beforehand but I would fall victim to my emotions quite easily. I have more will power than ever before. I have trained my mind in so many ways to stick to this lifestyle. I am really taken with that.
Wonderful idea, @daddyoh!
Like you, I am thankful for so much, but right now I’m thankful for this wonderful forum and EVERYONE here, who cares about each other’s well-being.
Grateful to the contributors of this forum including @Beytovin.
Thanks to all on this site for your insights and suggestions.
Well, I’m glad I found keto (via a Windows podcast? Yes, really) and joined up here. Have learned a lot.
I am grateful for the support of this forum since starting this WOE on March 18th. My carb fog has long gone, I hope to never experience it again. Also over 36kg gone, this is the most amazing place…where miracles happen 
I’m grateful that I found keto and for all the people that have studied it, those that have shared their successes with it, and for some not so subtle changes in the acceptance of this dietary method.
Excited about Gary Fettke’s reversal and the hope that we just might see dietary guideline changes.
I’m grateful for Carl and Richard and their willingness to do the podcasts and share their and other’s knowledge of keto. Thanks to Daisy for bringing some fabulous women to the forefront and opening the dialogue about things that women face in our quest for good health and keto.
I’m just so thankful to God for bringing me here and for being just quirky enough to question the status quo of what is healthy eating. I have real hope that I will grow old as healthy as I can be and with a sound mind.
And so grateful for this forum and all of you who share and encourage me to KCKO!
OK, so here I go again.
I was talking to one of the people at the market this morning [1] (couldn’t fit eggs in the backpack yesterday, so had to go back today for them, 8km round trip, so I get my steps) about keto, as she’s very interested, and we were talking about foods she “can’t give up.”
I was explaining that once you become fat-adapted, this isn’t anything like as much of an issue for most people. (She follows my IG account, where I post all my food images (same ones as here), so she’s well aware that we’re not deprived of good food in any way. Also, I buy bacon from her every week 
Anyway, to the point, at last - she was asking about my wife, who is also keto, and I was explaining while she hasn’t lot a lot of scale weight in the last few weeks, she’s moved to a “L” (Australian size) shirt (IIRC) for both the kids ministry she helps run at church and for the new work shirts they got (semi-fitted polos) this week. Three months ago, she would NEVER have fitted into them. Also, she was at the main office for her work on Monday (18-hour-day including flying for very little benefit) and not only did it not knock her around as it would have a few months ago, her (really great) boss messaged her on Tuesday to say sorry they hadn’t really caught up, but that she was looking great.
And she really is. The scale isn’t moving much, but she’s in jeans and tops that she’s hasn’t fitted into for at least a year (at LEAST) and one pair of leggings has gone to the Salvos (with more only a few weeks away, I suspect) because she can’t jump around in them at kids church without feeling as if they’re gonna fall down. She’s also getting annoyed because I keep pinching her because I can’t believe how much obvious body fat is just gone, and it’s fascinating to observe.
[1] @dlc96_darren - Before you ask, her name is Helen, she’s the SIL of Robbie from yesterday (works the same shop), and she’s lovely She was also saying I’m clearly a fair bit thinner in the face, but I hate people talking about me, and thus the above deflection by talking about Cha’s gains
I’ll be expecting a new profile pic in the coming weeks!
Something a little brighter and less brooding. 
This is a great idea.
Happy birthday today!
This one, for me. I was nearly 500 lbs 5 months ago. I’m abt 400 today. I am thankful God has given me yet another chance to try and fix this mess I’m in.
I’m thankful I’ve friends & family that never (fully) gave up on me.
I’m thankful this WOE/WOL has been a fairly easy transition for me.
I’m thankful that, despite decades of being unable to grab the reins and steer myself back to health, all it takes is a little hope for my heart and mind to believe again.
OK, so I just read that again, and realised exactly how utterly UTTERLY romantic it sounds. I’m a journalist, I observe things
Well, I try, but my brain chemistry makes it difficult. And when I do the romance thing (no matter what it is, big or small gestures) it always feels like being an actor in a play. It’s really strange. Have I mentioned that, in general, I really hate my brain?
