Hi there. Welcome to my on going battle of trying to get back into the jeans I've held onto for years, NO JOKE! I think it's been about ten years now that I've packed and unpacked these jeans over and over. I've even sat holding a pair of these jeans and just cried my eyes out for hours.
See, I've always had trouble keeping weight off me as an adult. I was very out going as a kid and as I grew into my teen years the same. I was always in some kind of sport, dancing, or bike ridding. I ate what ever I wanted with no worries. As I got older, I started to notice that eating certain foods would make me feel really bad and sick. I tried really hard to stay away from foods that made me feel just awful but, it was really hard and I would beat myself up for eating those foods.
In 2007 I was diagnosed with hypo-thyroidism which made it even harder to keep weight off. At one point in my life I really starved myself. I lost weight of course, as soon as I ate something I felt sick because I ate so much in one sitting. "YES" I gained all the weight I had lost back and more. I cried so much. I became so depressed and my doctor put me on medication for the depression. I was very hard on myself. I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. I wouldn't take pictures at all.
I have two kids and I always had an excuse not exercise or eat right. That excuse was "I just DON'T have TIME"! I had tried all kinds of diet pills, you know the kind that say "EAT WHAT EVER YOU WANT and still loose weight". Oh yeah, I fell for it over and over. A new pill came out I was buying it. I tried Weight Watcher's, Slim fast, Adkins, Paleo and then I came across a post that said KETO eat the foods you love and still loose weight, feel great and avoid the bloating.
I thought I hit the gold mine. Totally thought the Keto life style was new when I saw it just around August 2020. Oh my goodness was I wrong. It wasn't new it was something I had never came across. It's something I can make for the whole family. My oldest child is 10 and is Autisic. I found out this Keto life style change was very good for him as well.
I'm not going to sit here and say I've lost a ton of weight or anything like but, I say I feel better and have lost some weight. The food is great and YES I can enjoy those foods I used to eat that would make me feel awful again, with a small twist though. I cook it at home I use healthy ingredients and eating good fats. Know I can't say that it's always easy because it's not. Yes there's times I feel lazy and would like to just order fast food but, then I think about it really hard. I want to get into the jeans so bad. I smile and say I got this. You know what I do got this.
It's only been a few months since I've change my eating life style and I haven't this good in a very long time. I'm not a doctor, trainer or a dietician by far. I'm just a normal person that is trying to stay healthy, live longer, and trying to fit into them jeans.
