A busy working, married mother of 5 children, living a beautiful life.....love my family, life, and my dream job. BUT.....I have battled with my weight my entire life! I can remember never feeling comfortable in my own skin since I was in elementary school. Now that I am a health provider teaching others and managing chronic conditions, I have issues with my weight even more! How can I be at an unhealthy weight and tell others to lose weight, seems like an oxymoron :((
I first discovered a ketogenic diet back in 2003 when I lost 30lbs and felt great, but I was also 14 years younger. I keep thinking that my age and hormonal changes have something to do with my difficulty with staying on a diet and losing weight. However, I am far from correct. So, here I am extremely happy going into week 3 of a keto diet and down -8 lbs. I feel energetic, satisfied, not having any cravings and LOVING what I am eating. This time around I have incorporated fresh vegetables and coconut oil which I love! I love this group and have finally taken the time to finish the bio on my laptop (not available on my smart phone). I have 62lb. to go until I reach my first goal. I CAN DO THIS.
