TTC Journey

I’ve never been one of those women who DREAMS of becoming a Mom. In fact, I sometimes make fun of those who got pregnant immediately after the wedding. In my mind, I’ve always wanted to wait a year or two before we venture into parenthood because I want to really enjoy my time with my husband. There’s still so many things to do, accomplishments to achieve, places to travel and adding a child into those just makes them all impossible. Of course, this is because of a silly assumption that creating a baby is just as easy as having sex. 

My husband and I started actively trying in March 2022, so just shortly after we celebrate our one year anniversary. In the beginning, I promised myself I wouldn’t be like those women who kept meticulous schedule of when they’re ovulating, tracking their cycle, basal temperature, etc etc. I thought we could just have fun doing it. 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, the tests came negative. That’s odd, we thought. This is supposed to be easy. One month, my period was late by 7 days so I decided to go to the doctor to get tested, only to finally be diagnosed with PCOS. She said it’s not impossible to get pregnant with PCOS, but it’s going to be much more difficult, especially because I don’t even know if I am actually ovulating every month. The rest of 2022 became a period of my life where I’m trying to pay more attention to my body. I tried gluten free, dairy free, intermittent fasting, keto. Took all the supplements that everyone in PCOS community recommended to conceive. I also stopped actively tracking my cycle and ovulation because I found myself even more stressed when I did all of those things. Still no pregnancy even after all those efforts. 

We haven’t even reached a full year of TTC, but by December 2022, I feel defeated. Christmas came around and many people in my social media announced their pregnancies, to my dismay. A lot of questions began to swirled into our minds. Did we make a huge mistake by waiting? Is there a huge sin in our lives that’s preventing God from blessing us a child? and the worst, is there something wrong with us physically?

I never knew how difficult conceiving is, and frankly, I always thought this is a problem for women over the age of 40. After all, a lot of my friends become a mom in their 30s. It was never my plan to be a mom in my 20s, so I thought me being 31, this would still be an easy thing to achieve. But what I didn’t comprehend, is how much I would be affected by my own friends’ pregnancy. I pride myself in my ability to celebrate my friends. I love it when my friends are successful. But boy does it feel different when it comes to pregnancy. When one of my best friend told me that she got pregnant even though they did not even plan it, my heart leapt for joy because I love her and her family so much, but I can’t deny that deep down, I too felt some sort of sadness. I’ve always wanted to be pregnant together with her so that hope is gone now. When another close friend announced their pregnancy even though they just got married recently, I felt happy for them but again, sadness lingers a tiny bit. On valentines day, my timeline was filled with 4 pregnancy announcements and my soul cried out loud. It’s like I want to scream “everybody gets their blessing but ME” 

But the voice of the Holy Spirit is calm and gentle upon my ears. He reminds me that God’s timing is perfect AND, it’s not easily understandable by mere humans because, that’s just how it is. I try to comprehend it from my own lens. There’s a lot going on this year and adding a baby, though it may be a blessing, it will no doubt hinder a lot of things in our lives. He reminds me that this is the time to wholeheartedly seek God because I know, I haven’t done so in a while. My faith journey has been wishy-washy to say the least, and I haven’t made the effort to really get in the words and hear God’s words. 

I now know what I have to do and I have decided to let God take control of this. Prayers are appreciated.

Description: Caitlin is a certified holistic nutrition consultant, health blogger and author of several low carb and paleo cookbooks. She has been interested in wellness for many years, inspired by her own struggles with weight and thyroid autoimmune disease. After trying the carnivore way of eating she was inspired with the results.She lost 10 pounds in the first month after going carnivore. She went from a size 14 to a size 10. She never thought she would be a size 10 again! Her skin is brighter, more youthful and fresh. Caitlin's main motivator was to improve her Hashimotos and bloating/constipation and both have markedly improved. She decided to write this book to share this out of the box method of healing with others. Ellen Weeks is a former high school Spanish teacher and now a work-from-home mom with two beautiful little boys as well as being an avid wellness advocate. She has been interested in health and optimal wellness since her early 20’s when she was her heaviest weight. She was having limited results on keto and her digestive challenges were lingering, this led her to keep searching for answers. Soon she found some answers and success with her health when she found the carnivore way of eating and things started improving in a big way. Before: I was battling PCOS, missed cycles, adrenal fatigue (low cortisol, low testosterone &low dhea on my labs), and I had about 20 extra pounds that I had gained due to stress. I had done several vegan cleanses, ate a carb heavy diet, and was in the gym 5 days a week and doing 6+ hours per week of yoga, and I was still gaining weight and feeling miserable.After: Just within 3 months of joining carnivore diet challenge my labs showed normal levels for all my hormones, my PCOS in remission and I have lost weight! I am also off all medications for depression & I feel wonderful. Now: Carnivore is so simple & I feel so good, I really don’t see a reason to stop anytime soon!” Before: I used to do figure competitions and put my body through a lot of extreme dieting. I never realized the long term impact. After my second baby, I had so much trouble withmy digestion. It seemed like I was reacting to everything I ate. High histamine foods also made me feel bloated and tired.After: Doing a carnivore way of eating for 30 days made a huge difference with my energy and I can keep up with my kids. I noticed my skin is more vibrant and my bloating went away. Now: I think everyone should try this way of eating for at least 30 days to feel the awesome results I have. I know I am healing from the inside out and plan to stick with it for the long term. Before: I struggled with allergies and eczema for years and by my early 30’s developed allergy induced asthma. I’ve been on steroids in some form continuously for decades. I lost weight on keto and felt better but not perfect.After: With going carnivore, I noticed the smooth, easy energy, I feel good all the time, strong and more muscular. The little nagging pain in my knees went away and best of all, my allergies go away! My skin is better and the eczema more contained.Now: At 48 years old, I feel better than I have since I was a teen. I came to carnivore for the weight loss but stayed for the healing. Before: At my heaviest I was a whopping 291 pounds. I was newly married and newly diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis.

At 27, I didn’t think this would be my life. I had been overweight my entire life, I was always the chubby kid and tried everything under the sun to get my weight under control.After: With carnivore way of eating, I no longer suffer from mydaily heartburn, I barely get sick, I don’t suffer from allergies, I have all the energy in the world, I sleep like a baby, I no longer suffer from depression, I’m no longer addicted to food, my psoriasis has almost completely cleared and I’m down 22 more pounds. My body composition has completely changed, my moods have completely changed, I’m so much more relaxed and don’t have nearly as much anxiety as I did before. Now: I owe my life to keto and now the carnivore lifestyle and I don’t plan on ever going back. I have battled my weight all the way back to high school and even hid my bulimia from my family. After I married my high school sweetheart, my struggle with weight continued. I got up to 240 lbs, being only 5’2”. I avoided the mirror and the reality that I was on the verge of a health scare. Eventually I was diagnosed with prediabetes and high blood pressure.I continued the same cycle of losing and gaining weight over and over until I finallylearned about low carb and keto. It was such a relief to stop “exercising more and eating less” with no lasting results. Amazingly, I lost half my body weight with keto! As I continued on my journey, I heard about the simplicity of carnivore, and I was sold. Following an all-meat diet was the crucial thing to make this change last a lifetime. I just cook up my bacon and burgers and I am fulfilled all day. I can’t believe all the years I wasted hiding, but now I am ready to enjoy my fit and healthy body.

hey I just saw your post about PCOS being a hormonal issue not a gyno one while I was surfing the tag. I was diagnosed a couple months back and all my gyno did was a 2 min ultrasound and then prescribed me birth control. I would like to have actual help and more info on it but I'm not sure who I'm supposed to go to for that. Seeing as you were in a similar situation I'd appreciate your help.

seems like gynos really suck with pcos, don't they? 🥴 warning you now, this is going to be a very long post, because i'm essentially writing out absolutely everything i did and everything i've learned, so strap in for a ride aldksfjasldf

the first thing to do is research, research, research. i spent a whole week constantly on pcos websites (such as pcosaa and this article, tho fair warning, the article does use academic speech so it might not be the easiest thing to read) and watching videos and doing what i could to inform myself. the way you can know if you're looking at a credible resource is how the source defines pcos: does it pose it as a reproductive system disorder? or an endocrine (hormonal) disorder? if it talks about it as a reproductive system disorder, then it's probably wrong.

please note that i am not, obviously, a medical professional, but this is how i understand pcos works. i'll use me as an example just so i can use first person perspective, but it applies to pcos patients in general.

so, my cells are insulin resistant. that means that when i eat, my body releases, lets say, 100 (x measurement) of insulin. because my cells are insulin resistant, they say "hey, i'm only gonna use 50x of that insulin". but they still NEED that 100x to function. so my body releases ANOTHER 100x of insulin, so my cells go "ok i'll take 50x" and so while my cells now have the 100x they're supposed, to i now have 100x insulin floating around.

that extra insulin not only wreaks havoc on many systems of the body, it is the reason why most people with pcos that goes untreated end up with type 2 diabetes. the extra insulin is also converted (or spurs the creation of? i'm not entirely certain on the how here) into testosterone and other androgen (male) hormones. so your body has too much insulin, and now it has too much testosterone, too. that extra testosterone is what fucks with your reproductive system and prevents the follicles on your ovaries from maturing (which is what the 'cysts' are). it also often creates increased facial hair, acne (especially on the 'beard line'), and worse body odor. between the testosterone and the insulin, it's nigh impossible to lose weight.

also note that because your body has to release more insulin for your cells to get an adequate amount, you likely crave carbs and sugars (salty/crunchy things and sweets), and you're likely frequently fatigued, bc your body isn't, well, working correctly and it's taking more energy to perform basic functions.

secondly, take all this information that you know to your doctor. i legitimately wrote down some notes about this process in a little notebook and took it with me so that i wouldn't forget/get too anxious to bring any of it up. i also wrote down the things i had been doing to help up to that point (working out, what my diet was, etc etc) and what i was concerned about. lastly, i also wrote down what medications and supplements i had heard of in my research to see what my doctor thought of them.

my doctor's first 'attack' choice is ozempic--it's a weekly shot that helps to regulate insulin levels and also is pretty good at helping weight loss. be aware though that most commercial insurances don't pay for this, but if your doctor is good, they'll try to work around that so that you're not paying a frankly outrageous amount for it. also look out for sometime this fall, my doc said that the ozempic manufacturers are trying to get ozempic approved for weight loss (it's approved for other things) and that should help bring the price down?? anyway, that's my doc's preferred method, but because of my finances, we currently can't do that.

his second attack, which i'm now on, is metformin. it's a medication mostly used for diabetics that helps with blood sugar levels which, again, is that insulin issue. my mom has been on it for 14 years bc diabetes runs in our family anyway, so it's perfectly safe for long time use and definitely helps with keeping either away from or within the pre-diabetes phase. again, i've only been on it now two days so i can't say anything for me but we'll see how it goes lmao

he also approved of me using omega 3 (fish pills) supplements because they help balance things out in general, not just pcos, and he was good with me using spearmint, too. i'm starting out on one cup of spearmint tea a day and see how that effects me, but i've heard of people having up to two spearmint supplement pills and a cup of spearmint tea a day, too. spearmint is a 'defense', as far as i can explain it: it has (tho limited) research that it lowers the testosterone levels in women with pcos. so while it doesn't help with the insulin so it doesn't attack the source, it can help with the testosterone aspect, aka facial hair, acne, etc. i've also heard of cinnamon supplements and inositol supplements helping, but i didn't get a chance to ask about either of those from my doctor, so make sure if you want to give those a try, you talk about them and make sure they won't interfere with any of your other medications and get your doctor's approval on them, first.

thirdly, ask about what else you can do to help yourself. my doctor stressed the importance of a proper night's sleep, as well as advised to try to cut back on carbs and sugars (IMPORTANT NOTE: some people claim that you HAVE to be on a keto diet to get results with pcos. WRONG. please don't do this. keto diets are entirely unsustainable. and cutting back on carbs and sugars does not mean cutting them OUT, it just means if you want a snack, try reaching for a protein or a vegetable instead of a carb. but don't limit yourself!! please, be conscious about what you eat, and remember that sometimes yeah, a slice of cake or a serving of chips isn't going to kill you or set your pcos back. don't risk getting an e.d. just for the sake of your pcos). he also told me that the best exercise that i personally should do is either HIIT exercises or cardio, and to do at least an hour a day, even if it's 30 mins in the morning, 30 in the evening--and to work up to that so even doing ten minutes a day, then increasing it from there, is healthier and better than jumping straight into a whole ass hour. he also told me to aim for a certain heartrate. i don't remember the formula he used, but for me at 22 (based on age) he wanted me to try to aim for 150-160 bpm. again, especially with exercise, that was what he recommended for me. you're likely different from me, so ask your doctor and see what he says.

fourthly, and perhaps most importantly, DON'T BOTHER WITH A GYNO. all of this that i've gotten done for me was from my family doctor, so just the guy i go to for yearly check ups. see if you can do some routine blood work to give him (or her) as wide of a picture as possible, and then go in and talk with a regular doctor about this. a friend of mine also has a friend who actually goes to an endocrinologist to get her pcos sorted out, so that's also an option. gynos seem to just treat the symptoms; birth control gives you a regular period by helping with your estrogen, but that doesn't decrease your testosterone OR do anything with the insulin. my doc is keeping me on birth control pills just so that i have a regular cycle so we can watch and see if anything else happens to it, so it's okay to stay on the birth control, but ultimately, birth control pills don't do anything for pcos.

i know it's difficult and probably kinda scary/anxiety inducing if you're younger or just have anxiety, but you've gotta advocate for yourself in this case. you have to show the doctor that you know what you're talking about and that you're able to call him out on his bullshit if he doesn't take you seriously. also, if your doctor is helpful, don't be afraid to be frank with him about what your gyno did. like i've said with my experience, i got the validation of knowing that my gyno was wrong by explaining to my doctor how he treated me. you deserve better than what your gyno did, and you deserve to actually be treated as a person and your disorder be taken seriously.

i'm wishing you the best of luck, and i hope that you'll be able to get the help that you need 💕💕💕

I’ve stayed under 500cals for the past 6 days. I think I’ll let myself go as high as 750cals this weekend.

On another note, my mom has been triggering the fuck outta me. :) I’ve relapsed (obviously, or I wouldn’t be on here lol) and she doesn’t know (she never found out about my ED, even when it was glaringly obvious I had a problem with food). But, she also wants to lose weight, like yeah, okay, good for you. It isn’t the first time she’s been down the weight loss road, and she feels genuinely better when she’s at a lower weight, and I’ve always been proud and happy for her, but in a healthy proud way, not a messed up fat-shaming proud way. She’s beautiful at any weight, I just want her to be happy.

But anyways, I was helping her set goals, cause we’ve been going to the gym together and she’s under the impression I’m ‘dieting’, something akin to the Keto diet (trust me, imma cico kinda girl, but I have been loosely following some keto rules bc I’ve been 1. Focused on eating healthier and low carb foods, they’re usually low cal anyways, and 2. I have pcos so a low carb diet helps). (Sorry guys this is gonna turn into a rant, low key).

Anyways, I started discussing calories, asking if she wanted a caloric goal. She said 1000. I got a little concerned and told her that the lowest recommended caloric intake for an adult woman is 1200 at minimum. Ig it kinda peeved her off cause she kinda snapped and said that she used to restrict as low as 800 and she was fine. Which was mad triggering but also worrying. I don’t think she’s ever had an eating disorder? But then again, she has ocd, and i know first hand how and Ed can be used for a sense of control. And she may have had one and been in denial about it, since she mocks Ed’s and such. Or at least she used to, idk. I don’t like to think that she’s had an eating disorder, maybe it could be put down to “extreme dieting”... ugh, I really don’t know. I don’t like to think about that. Especially since she used to exercise soo much...

But idk, she’s just been. Really triggering me lately. Talking about low restricting, us working out together. It wasn’t so bad at first, but I can’t help but feel... competitive. Which is so fucked up. Oof. I feel terrible for feeling this way.

Also feel terrible for wasting so much food lately, omg. She kept getting strawberry milk (my favorite, but runs high in cals) and a breakfast sandwich from the gas station (that bitch is like 580cals! Wtf!) but I can’t help it, I CAN NOT eat it or drink it but she won’t stop getting it for me. I can’t tell if it’s out of love or she’s trying to sabotage me... then again, that’s probably the ED talking.

Also, one last thing. Update on my ex, he ghosted me all day and then some, proceeded to text me that’s he’s been stressed and that’s why. Which, realistically, that’s probable, he’s in college and all. But I can’t help but feel like now that he knows he can get my attention again, he’s satisfied and tossing me the side once more, till he feels lonely and curious again. I don’t know. I don’t know if I am overreacting or I’m right. But I definitely feel like a fool.

Introductions

**PRO ANA, PRO MIA, AND THINSPO ACCOUNTS DO NOT INTERACT**

Hello to anyone reading this. I’m H and I’ve started this sideblog to document my weight loss and keep myself accountable. Let me start with a little backstory:

I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I’ve never been super active, though I was on a couple sports teams at various points throughout my school life. I always overate as a kid and I still do it now. Eating has been a coping mechanism for me my entire life, and I would say that I am addicted to food. 

I have generally been okay being heavy, but bullying is a bitch and I know that other people’s perception of me affected me and made me a nasty bitch in middle school and high school. I wasn’t in a place to understand why I acted out until I was able to distance myself from my long term abusive boyfriend and my dad stopped drinking and got out of his abusive/toxic situation. Now, I understand the effects that the trauma in my life has had on me and I’m calmer and more level-headed, so I am in a good place to start working on my physical health in conjunction with my mental health. 

I know that my self-image right now isn’t healthy, and I am aiming to love my body. I am trying hard not to think of the things I might want after this, like skin removal surgery and breast reshaping, but it is hard not to imagine myself with a little sprucing up. While I don’t want to scrutinize over every flaw I have, I think the best way I can motivate myself to keep it up is taking note of my body and how I perceive certain areas, so I will update this with my reflection on how my body looks every so often. 

Over the time I have been not working because of COVID-19, I have gained weight, but I have also started keeping up with infamous obese youtubers like Amberlynn Reid and Foodie Beauty, and watching channels like Charlie Gold and Petty Kitten react to them. I would be lying if I said that it wasn’t a kick in the ass to not become as big as them, but also a motivator knowing that I will never be like that, I won’t allow myself to be like them, and that I am a better person than they are. I know that thinking like that is mean and cruel, but I am here to lose weight, not monetize my addiction and appeal to feeders while maintaining an attitude of entitlement and oblivion.

While we are at it, let me just name a few of my rock bottom moments:

- my abusive ex boyfriend calling me “Whaley”

- being too heavy to ride horses

- being too big for a ride at the fair and having to get off it in front of a ton of people in public

- my brother swiping the back of m head like a debit machine

- my ability to polish of a lot of food in one go

- my lack of stamina standing, walking, exercising, being on top during sex

- crushing my boyfriend when I lay on him

- being too big to fit into 3x clothing on websites like dollskill that actually sell some interesting clothing for bigger ladies

Without too much more delay, let’s get into the facts:

Age: 18

Height: 5′11

Starting Weight: 333 pounds

Current Weight: 329 pounds

Total Loss: 4 pounds

BMI: 45.9

BMI Goal: 25

Current Goal: 300 pounds by day 30

Day: 4

Health Concerns: Morbid Obesity, PCOS and Insulin Resistance, Lactose Intolerance, Depression, Anxiety, Food Addiction.

Diet Plan: OMAD (one meal a day) and intermittent fasting. 

The diet I have chosen to follow, OMAD, is one of many different diets I have tried over the course of my life. I have tried keto, I have tried vegetarianism, I have tried slimfast. The reason I have chosen this particular diet this time is because of the freedom to eat pretty much anything within the hour I set aside for myself to eat each day. It’s hard to fuck yourself up too much in an hour. After having done the diet for a few days, here is what I have noticed about it:

- I get hangry

- I am somewhat nocturnal and often sleep from 6am - 2pm, and it makes it so much easier

- The boost in energy after my feels like I am on top of the world, and the naps while digesting fuckin rock, sleepy is a good feeling when you have time set aside for it

- It is a lot of mental will power to look at my favourite foods and say no

- It is a lot of mental will power not to cram 3 meals into an hour

- It is hard to pick what I want for dinner

- Cravings hit hard

- Black Coffee is nasty

- It is easier not to consume dairy with OMAD, and not have diarrhea everyday is nice.

There are some things I have noted as well, like eating dairy at all is a big mistake. It is unpleasant to only feel full for a short period of time before violently emptying the contents of my digestive tract. The effects of lactose has on my body go so much quicker when it is the only thing I have in my body at the time. Lactaid is very hit and miss for me, and by the way the chewable tablets are actually the devil incarnate and I hate them. I have tasted vanilla in my life and that isn’t it. 

I chose this diet because my boyfriend does fasting as his preferred diet method, and while I wish I could fast all day, my job requires me to have energy and I am not a happy hungry lady. I intend to do OMAD long term, but may change it up slightly if I start to struggle when I get back to work. 

It should also be noted that I seriously do not recommend this diet to anyone who struggles with disordered eating (me), depression (me), anxiety (me), obesity (me), anyone who has an affliction that would make it safer for them to consume more than one meal a day (me), and people who have medications they need to take with food (me). This diet is not recommended by doctors for long term weight loss, my endocrinologist was frankly a bit shocked when I told her, and it can cause a host of problems included but not limited to:

- triggering of eating disorders

- lack of protein 

- excess of carbs

- diarrhea (thanks, really needed more of that)

- nausea

- dizziness

- weakness

- extreme fatigue

So let me go ahead here and describe a little bit about my health issues, namely my PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. PCOS is a hormonal disorder. It can cause increased levels of androgen in the body, increased hair, insulin resistance, excessive hair growth, male pattern baldness, weight gain, irregular periods, fertility problems, increase risk of developing type 2 diabetes, increase risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, acne and oily skin, depression, and sleep apnea, as well as increase the risk for endometrial cancers, and obviously, cause ovarian cysts. This disorder can be passed from mother to daughter, and I got it from my mom. I have been suffering with this for years.

The biggest effects on my body have been my weight, my depression, irregular periods and cysts. I currently have an IUD in place to help with the symptoms, but my periods are not even close to regular and are often brown in colour. Before hormonal birth control, I would have 2-3 periods per year that lasted about a month at a time. These periods were heavy and excruciatingly painful, and the clots I birthed were like jellyfish. I often lost enough blood to become anemic. 

It should be noted that my PCOS has caused me to be resistant to insulin, and that can make it hard to lose weight and also cause some brown discolouration on the skin, which I have had on my chest and neck. I remember my mom used to scrub at my neck thinking it was dirty when my neck first started becoming discoloured. 

I had my IUD placed in December of 2018, and the follow up ultrasound revealed a cyst on my right ovary that was 21cm x 21cm which required surgery. Due to that, a traumatic situation and my vegetarianism, I lost 30 pounds by March of 2019. 

I have also struggled most of my life with depression and anxiety and used food to cope. I am currently on medication for that. I also take Metformin to help with the effects of the PCOS.

Here I will give a short description on the areas of my body that bother me and what I would like to see improve. I will try to be objective about what I don’t like and I will be honest about the reasons I would like to improve. I will say now that many of these reasons are cosmetic and not necessarily health related.

Inner thighs: While my legs are one of my favourite parts of my body and are in general strong and shapely, my inner thighs have a pocket of fat near my pubic mound, and I can see it when I stand up or I can see it in the mirror from behind when I bend over. I am self conscious about this because I don’t like the way it looks/hangs, and it makes it hard to be present and immersed when I am having sex or see myself as attractive if I take a picture for my boyfriend. The goal for this area is to have less hang so I can feel more relaxed during sex and any time I bend over. I also don’t particularly enjoy the thigh holes in my jeans, or that I have trouble with any sort of thigh high sock rolling.

Pubic mound: I’m not even gonna bullshit here: I just want a normal looking vulva. That’s it. I want it to be easier to access my clit, I don’t want such a prominent camel toe when I wear pants, I’d like it to be easier for my boyfriend to go down on me. I have a nice inner vulva and I want the exterior to match. I also find it hard to shave the areas between my mound and my thigh, as holding it open is not easy. That groin area is also prone to skin yeast infections and pimples and blackheads, and while I admit that they are fun to pop, it would be nice if I did not have to deal with it. 

My stomach: My stomach hangs. Underneath of it is prone to those same pimples and skin yeast infections (canesten is really helpful for tinea cruris, by the way. Yeast infections are yeast infections.) and while I get some sick pops for r/popping, it isn’t attractive. My stomach is hairy and while that isn’t really totally weight related, it also isn’t cute. My belly button is often very hidden, and it would be nice to get down to a size that I could get it pierced like my mom has. The rolls of my stomach get pimples and the red marks from sitting all day are not cute and can get painful. I have the muffin top when I wear jeans, and while the look of my stomach in jeans is less than sexy, it actually doesn’t bother me all that much.I have trouble keeping up panties that are both too tight or too loose, and tights are always rolling down. If it doesn’t hit just above my waist while still being slightly tight, it isn’t even worth trying to wear at all. All my jeans and leggings are high-waisted, and a lot of them roll when I sit or bend over. As a nanny, that is a really big inconvenience, and I would like to be able to exist for an hour without having to pull up my goddamn pants/leggings/underwear/tights. God forbid I put on a garter belt. Clothes that are flattering are hard for find for obese women. I just want to wear pretty clothes and feel like a person. When I sit with my knees up, my stomach is Very Present, and I can feel it against my thighs and trying to press through the gap in the middle. It would be nice to not feel that way, and I hope that I can achieve a stomach that does not hang.

Rolls under breasts: These are real sons of bitches. Hot, hairy, red, pimply. The heat rash is real. About half to 3/4 the size of my actual breasts. They make finding a comfortable bra difficult, and I would be really happy if they got even half the size they are now. 

Breasts: I don’t necessarily have a weight issue with my tibblies, but they are underdeveloped underneath and I don’t really like the shape of them so much. I am on the waiting list to see a plastic surgeon about my options. There are certain things about my chest that I don’t like that are the fault of obesity however, like the dark marks on my chest because of resistance to insulin, but I will get more into that in a bit. I also don’t love boobne, but hey, acne, amirite ladies? 

My chin/neck situation: My ‘waddle’, as I so hatefully refer to it, is my least favourite part of my body. This makes me so upset. I think this is the only part of my body that I truly genuinely hate. If I could duct tape it back so I could look normal, I would. I often look at plus size and fat and obese women and think why do they have chins and necks that are ‘normal’ but not me? (spoilers: the answer is morbid obesity.) I would like to be able to wear a choker comfortably and without it being hidden by my neck. It is very hard to pop waddle pimples. I do have the insulin marks on my neck, and a dowager’s hump, which makes me feel weird if I look at it too long. I don’t like when it sticks out of my clothing, and it feels odd to look at it with a necklace on, or a choker or collar or anything like that.

My back rolls: You hate to see it, and it makes finding a bra in my size a pain. It is hard to hide them, and anything that is fitted to the boobs and then flares can exaggerate the look of them. I don’t look at them too often so it doesn’t always bother me, but they can be a pain with certain clothes. It also makes some clothes tight and restricting in a way they normally wouldn’t, like dresses or shirts that zip. Highly unpleasant, and I would like to have smoother back for cosmetic reasons. 

The back of my head: I shave the underneath of my head. I’ve had my entire head shaven before, I’ve had just the sides shaven. It would be nice to get to a place where there wasn’t a roll at the back of my head. It would also be nice if my brother hadn’t swiped a card through it, but only one of those things is achievable. 

My arms: I have pretty strong arms, my job requires lifting and I’ve never shied away from taking all the groceries in one trip. My arms are large but not huge. I would be happy with a little reduction in the ‘wing’ area and I would like to see my upper arms a little more streamlined when fully extended. I genuinely do have big bones, but it would be nice to be able to wear my bracelets more comfortably. 

My hands: For the longest time I have been upset about the idea of ‘fat people hands’. I don’t have huge fingers, but it would be nice to fit rings on a little easier. I have large hands, because I am a tall woman, but not really fat or chubby hands like one might think of when thinking of fat people hands. My knuckles are fairly well defined, though they have dimples when my hands are flat, and have had since I was little. I think they are cute to be honest. I do not have discolouration on my fingers or knuckles.

My face: I don’t have a ton of fat on my cheeks actually. I do have a round face, but I have dimple-like indentations under my cheekbones that clearly define them. It would be nice to be a slightly slimmer face and defined jawline - any attempt at a contour is just awful. I would like to have a less prominent chin and cheeks. 

So let’s talk for a bit about long term goals. I am trying to set goals for myself in chunks. I know that aiming to lose 100 pounds the first go around is highly unlikely to get me any sort of success and I know that breaking it up into smaller bits is less overwhelming and more motivating. I am seriously trying to be careful about rewarding myself with any kind of food. 

Realistically, I would like to see myself get into the ‘normal’ BMI range by this time next year. I also know that to do that, I would need to lose around 170 pounds. With OMAD, you can expect to lose between half a pound and one pound a day. I do not see myself losing 170 pounds in 170 days. I do not think it is healthy to lose that much in under 6 months, and I don’t think my skin would appreciate it either, nor do I think OMAD is sustainable for that long. The idea is to try and hold out with OMAD for about 3 and a half months, and in that time, with upkeep, exercise and discipline, I could lose around 100 pounds, but I think the responsible thing would be to hope for closer to 75 pounds. 

I would like to outline my goals here:

Current Goal: 300 pounds - 33 pounds lost - 41.8 BMI

Second Goal: 270 pounds - 63 pounds lost - 37.7 BMI

Third Goal: 240 - 93 pounds lost - 33.5 BMI

Fourth Goal: 210 - 123 pounds lost - 29.3 BMI

Fifth Goal: 180 - 153 pounds lost - 25.1 BMI

Final Goal: 160 - 173 pounds lost - 22.3 BMI

Knowing how much one can lose in x amount of time with OMAD, and assuming I kept with it for a year, it could take anywhere from 173 days to 346 days to reach my final goal. I know that I won’t lose the same amount every day, and I know that it will be hard to keep it off once I reach my goal. 

I also know that I will need to take vitamins and supplements to make sure I don’t lose anything during this time. 

I am trying not to set deadlines for when I would like to reach my goals, though ideally I would be losing about 20 pounds a month. There are some important dates that I am hoping to have lost a certain amount for, however, and based on how much I might expect to lose and some basic math, I have deemed it pretty feasible to do.

I return to work around July 6th. It is currently May 30th. In 37 days I am hoping to have reached my first goal of 33 pounds lost. I lost 4 pounds in 3 days, and I hope to keep up that pace. 

The other date that I am hoping to have lost weight for is my birthday, which is August 31st. In 93 days I am hoping to have met my second goal of 63 pounds lost. I am turning 19 and very excited to celebrate.

For a little in-depth at what I am doing as far as my meal, I am eating a normal supper for me, a snack and a dessert. I am not counting calories. I’ll give some examples of what I have eaten at this time.

Day 1: Gnocchi bake with chicken, gummies, a chocolate bar, a little bit of bread and an iced tea. I made the bake with a package of sundried tomato gnocchi, one chicken breast, an olivieri package of rose sauce, like 2-3 tablespoons of herb and garlic cream cheese and onion. It was so good.

Day 2: I had the 4 bites of leftovers and some cheese bread, an iced tea, chicken strips, fries, a bite of fish, and some coleslaw. This day I felt sort of weak in the evening and so I had a fried egg sandwich with a cheese slice, mustard and mayo.

Day 3: I GUZZLED water all day long, like 4-5 bottles of water. I had crackers, the middle of a cinnamon bun, chicken strips and fries again, coleslaw and then some cake (I was celebrating a family birthday). My pee has never been so clear, let me just tell you.

One of the good things about this diet is being able to have whatever I would like as my meal for the day. I am an excellent cook (friend, family, teacher, boyfriend’s family and boyfriend approved, being fat has helped me master the kitchen) and I love doing it, so I can really get creative with my meal.

I come from a diet family, and so I am definitely supported on this diet, and my boyfriend is doing it with me, because misery loves company. Overall, I do feel hungry, but I feel satisfied with what I am doing and I have a lot more will power than I thought I did before, so I am proud of myself in that regard.

During my fasts, I try to only consume water and black coffee, which I take iced so it doesn’t nerf me with the flavour. Chewing gum is also quite helpful. My eating period is between 7p-8p, or 7p-8:30p, but that may change overtime as my sleep and activity schedule changes in the coming months.

I do not make promises on diets as a rule, but because of the nature of this diet I have made myself a promise that I will listen to my body. If I need a meal, I will eat one. If what is best for me is splitting my eating hour into two 30 minute eating periods a day for energy, especially while I work, then that is what I will do. 

Like I said, the goal is to check in every day with what I ate, my general feelings and if I am changing anything, and then I will try to do a weigh in weekly, and every couple of weeks update any changes I notice in the areas I mentioned earlier that bother me as a fat person. 

‘Til next time,

An Apology & Cease-Fire

I try hard to love myself. It’s something that I actively practice everyday. Now before pass judgement, roll your eyes and think “its easy to love yourself when you look like that” I’m gonna stop you right there.  This isn’t how I’ve always looked. And certainly not how I always felt. I’ve battled the demons in my mind and mirror for as long as I can remember. 

I grew up in a time when everyone wore extra low rise jeans and tiny tops that displayed their belly rings. Xtina was dirrty, Paris Hilton was hot, 00 was the ideal size and the resident It Girl informed us that nothing tasted as good being skinny felt. 

But.... I wasn't built to wear 00 jeans. While my peers struggled to find jeans that were small enough around their waste yet long enough to cover their ankles, I fit comfortably into a size 6. I had an hourglass figure for as long as I could remember. But since I’m not Latina and those only person who it was acceptable to have curves was JLo, I began to develop some insecurities about myself. 

From the time I was about 12 I began every morning on the scale. Not my idea, non-optional, and overseen by my mom -one of my main demons disguised as a guardian angel. 3 little numbers would dictate whether I would climb into the shower and danced (150-151lbs) or cried (152lbs): for reference I was about 5’7-5’8. Thus began my war against my body. And I lost every battle. 

Growing up, I became aware that every group of friend had a fat friend --And when the DUFF book/movie eventually came out I began to think maybe I wasn't alone-- I had originally noticed this because that friend was always me. I had a habit of scanning whatever room I was in and mentally sorting the girls from best body to fattest. And being excited when I wasn’t in last. Albeit i was usually second to last. 

I began to binge. However the only eating disorders that existed were anorexia and bulimia- there was no such thing as a disorder where you ate copious amounts of junk food without the purge part (which for me came later). I was consumed with shame and guilt

The root of my shame and guilt stemmed from my mom. She has a my way is the best way attitude. With everything in life. She has an opinion on everything and if you don’t respond with “wow best idea ever how would I live without you” she gets upset. Those are her own insecurities, but they manifest in unhealthy ways towards me. Having a mom who judged everything I ate created constant shame and guilt around food. But when I wanted to do some kind of diet, she was supportive until it was inconvenient for her. Like if we were going out for dinner or if she was having people over then I should “just have a little.”  Or that time everyone was going vegetarian so I tried too and she made ribs and tacos and other things I loved trying to “break” me. Thanks mom 

This also led to my distain for exercising. Actually, just my distain for running. I hate running. Always have. It hurts and it’s boring and I’ve never been great at it. But my mom became a runner in her 20s and therefore it’s the only way to get healthy. I would’ve preferred spin classes or to try Pilates and I love swimmning but she didn't like those things and therefore in her mind they were inferior to the almighty option for weight loss: Running. Not cardio in general, just running.  

Then, in my early 20′s I got sick. I had a flare up of PCOS (super common auto immune and if you have it go to a naturopath and follow the diet- you’ll feel sooo much better I promise) I gained weight uncontrollably. But I also binged uncontrollably so I’m sure that contributed. I was also dangerously anemic which caused major depression. However I’m going to skip over most that time because it was a long and painful process of recovery. 

Before I lost all energy to do anything all I knew was that I was gaining weight and so I lived on celery and hummus and went to the gym twice a day.  I also tried to push thru my exhaustion, resting in my mom's eyes in lazy and therefore unacceptable, in her eyes you couldn't possibly heal if you were just laying on the couch, you should be up and moving. A prime example of this is when I got home from Australia, I’d drive the 20min in from our house to her office and I’d be so tired I’d have a headache from keeping my eyes open. But she told me it was jet lag just go to the gym and work it off... it was mono. We found out after it got really bad. I’d helped to unload 200 bails of hay and that night my glands swoll up to golf balls. The next day I was diagnosed and the dr said no impact sports or heavy lifting or my spleen could burst, it was pure luck that I was okay after lifting those bails.

Anyway, I was in my early 20s and now the Kardashians curves were envied and Kate Upton was the epitome of gorgeous, times had changed...but so had I. I was at my sickest, and my heaviest (260lbs) looking back at my high school pictures and wondering why I thought I was fat. If I could just get back to that weight, I’d be so happy. Yet, I’d cry when I saw memes about having a fast metabolism in high school because I never had one. So the war raged on, I hated how I didn’t look like I did in high school, yet I hated that I was skinny in high school....and I never saw the link.

Eventually I healed, and  went on a diet (its called Ideal Protein and its Keto). I did this diet 3 times. The first I went back down to 180. Then went off it, and gained back up to about 220. Then I went back on it and dropped to 195, went off and gained back to 210...then slowly over the next year I gained back up to 220. And then I tried to be bulimic. Turns out I like the feeling of throwing up (ya    that might be weird) so I’d binge and binge and then throw everything up. I’d go shopping and try things on and when they didn't fit, I’d swear to myself that I’d “commit” to being bulimic, and do it twice a day. But it didn't help me lose weight, it just slowed down the gain. 

The third time and final time I did the Ideal Protein I was in a different (and much better) place mentally thanks to the therapist I was seeing at the time. I dropped to 165, and when I went off it I went vegan. I bought my own groceries and even though I live with my parents they work out of town so I’m mostly on my own for meals too. Sometimes I go through phases where I eat unhealthy and I go up in weight and then I go through phases where I eat very healthy, i.e: vegan (not preaching for everyone to be vegan but I’ve found that it works well for me personally) gained up to 175 and then lost (on my own). I’m currently in one of those going up phases and whatever. It started when I went to Bali and enjoyed myself, then I was unemployed and stressed so not a great reaction (I sprained my ankle in Bali so no dynamic exercise and even a lot of yoga poses I couldn't do) and now I’m on vacation for Xmas. I don’t enjoy what my body looks like right now but I’m trying not to care. I know when I go home I’ll choose healthy foods again. When my ankle heals I’ll go back to dynamic execrsices and when I get a new job I’ll begin going to barre classes because they’re my fave. 

Most importantly, I recently realized that I had been so wrong. I thought because I’d tried starving my body or tried throwing up everything that wasn't healthy for me, but that didn’t help me to lose weight so I thought I’d lost that battle. I tried to exercise everyday and often I’d push till I couldnt go on, but I didn't see any progress so that didn't work for me and I’d lost that battle too. For reference, the first time I did Ideal Protein I went from 260lbs - 180lbs and even though my jeans were smaller I couldn't see a difference in my reflection....so body dysmorphia was at play. I lost the battle when I tried to be healthy so I’d binge and binge and go months without any form of exercise. And it didn't matter. Because when I was losing weight (minus this last time), or when I was eating chocolate and pizza in the dark, I hated myself. I hated that I had to wear clothes that were “flattering” (I word I despise because in my moms world thats a compliment) instead of clothes that were trendy. And every time I’d see my reflection or a picture of me I’d feel like I’d lost or failed. But I was wrong. But I was wrong in thinking I was the loser in this war.  Because I controlled the shots and my body was the one that had to adapt to the restriction or the overload. It was the one that shrunk and grew in response to my actions that were all done out of anger, frustration, and hate so even when my body was getting exercise or nourishment it was always starved of love. 

So this decade. And those that come after it. It will be loved. There’s no wagons to fall off of or tracks to get back on. They’re all phases. Like seasons of the year or phases of the moon, some are darker than others but all are necessary for life and all have their good and bad characteristics. I love that I sometimes  allow myself to indulge (such as my current choices). But I also love that I choose to supply nourishment and movement to my body. I love myself enough to supply my vessel with nourishment. Now I move my body in ways that feel good i.e. low impact(yoga, barre, walks with my dog). And I also recognize that sometimes its better that I don’t move at all. Such as, it’s better to take 1-2 days of nothing but Netflix and delivery in order to recharge then to push through stress and exhaustion and struggle through before I eventually burn out, where I spend 2-3 WEEKS watching Netflix and getting delivery but hating myself while doing so and feeling like a failure. 

I’m so sorry to my that it went so long without love and validation. I promise to fill the rest of them with compassion and fun and understanding. Here’s to end of 2019 and good start to 2020; the end of a decade, but the start of an age (yes that’s a TSwift lyric) 

Love Me <3

Day of Defeat or Day of Domination?

Tuesday, December 3rd 2019.

I walked into my brand new OBGYN. I cried. I prayed. I took long, slow, deep breaths. I sat in silence.

Dr. Barker looked at me and said: You have PCOS. Polycystic Ovarain Syndrome. In my head, I knew that. I come from a medical background. My mom has PCOS. My husband and I have been TTC for 5 long, miserable, agonizing years. But still. To hear those words, to hear the concrete PCOS diagnosis was deafening and silent all at the same time.

I got dressed and he re- entered the room. He put me on a smorgasbord of medicine. And then he said this: Lose weight. I half wanted to punch his face in, and half wanted to cry. It’s no secret that I am fat. When I stepped on the scale and saw the number 294.8, I literally wanted to crawl in a dark hole. Then, he actually gave me ideas on how to lose weight. He told me that he believed in me. He told me that in 6 months to a year, I could possibly be seeing those two little pink lines on that pregnancy test. He told me I could be healthy and reverse some of the symptoms of my PCOS.

Suddenly: I felt empowered.

I called my husband and said that things needed to change. I told him what the doctor said. And he said “ Well then, let’s do it”, followed by “just keep some ranch in the house for me 😏” .

This started my health journey. In just a week, I have lost 5.2 pounds. I went to the grocery store and decided that the KETO diet was probably going to be the best lifestyle choice for me and my family. I started using MYFitnessPal. I started counting my steps. I took charge of my body.

I wanted to start this blog/ tumblr thing to keep myself on track. I want that positive test, I want a healthier body, I want happiness.

108 pounds ago, when I weighed 307 lbs, I could only dream of this number. The coveted ONEderland. The magical, mystical place that seemed so far away and out of reach. I never really set a weight goal for myself. I am 5'10", have a large frame, and haven't seen below 200 pounds since high school. The only real weight goal I ever set was to see a "1" in front of my weight on that scale. After 3.5 years, I reached that milestone today. My journey to health has taken longer than I expected. There have been many ups and downs. Sometimes my focus had to shift elsewhere. Sometimes I lost motivation. But I never lost sight of my self worth. I deserve to be healthy. My body deserves proper nutrition and exercise. I deserve to eat, every day, no matter what. My journey does not revolve around this number on the scale. I am worth so much more than this number. This number is the result of the care, love, and attention I put into my body. 👉 Katieketo2019 . . 🌴 Wlstories Fla Meetup!! Aug 24th #TampaBay.

Description: Caitlin is a certified holistic nutrition consultant, health blogger and author of several low carb and paleo cookbooks. She has been interested in wellness for many years, inspired by her own struggles with weight and thyroid autoimmune disease. After trying the carnivore way of eating she was inspired with the results.She lost 10 pounds in the first month after going carnivore. She went from a size 14 to a size 10. She never thought she would be a size 10 again! Her skin is brighter, more youthful and fresh. Caitlin's main motivator was to improve her Hashimotos and bloating/constipation and both have markedly improved. She decided to write this book to share this out of the box method of healing with others. Ellen Weeks is a former high school Spanish teacher and now a work-from-home mom with two beautiful little boys as well as being an avid wellness advocate. She has been interested in health and optimal wellness since her early 20’s when she was her heaviest weight. She was having limited results on keto and her digestive challenges were lingering, this led her to keep searching for answers. Soon she found some answers and success with her health when she found the carnivore way of eating and things started improving in a big way. Before: I was battling PCOS, missed cycles, adrenal fatigue (low cortisol, low testosterone &low dhea on my labs), and I had about 20 extra pounds that I had gained due to stress. I had done several vegan cleanses, ate a carb heavy diet, and was in the gym 5 days a week and doing 6+ hours per week of yoga, and I was still gaining weight and feeling miserable.After: Just within 3 months of joining carnivore diet challenge my labs showed normal levels for all my hormones, my PCOS in remission and I have lost weight! I am also off all medications for depression & I feel wonderful. Now: Carnivore is so simple & I feel so good, I really don’t see a reason to stop anytime soon!” Before: I used to do figure competitions and put my body through a lot of extreme dieting. I never realized the long term impact. After my second baby, I had so much trouble withmy digestion. It seemed like I was reacting to everything I ate. High histamine foods also made me feel bloated and tired.After: Doing a carnivore way of eating for 30 days made a huge difference with my energy and I can keep up with my kids. I noticed my skin is more vibrant and my bloating went away. Now: I think everyone should try this way of eating for at least 30 days to feel the awesome results I have. I know I am healing from the inside out and plan to stick with it for the long term. Before: I struggled with allergies and eczema for years and by my early 30’s developed allergy induced asthma. I’ve been on steroids in some form continuously for decades. I lost weight on keto and felt better but not perfect.After: With going carnivore, I noticed the smooth, easy energy, I feel good all the time, strong and more muscular. The little nagging pain in my knees went away and best of all, my allergies go away! My skin is better and the eczema more contained.Now: At 48 years old, I feel better than I have since I was a teen. I came to carnivore for the weight loss but stayed for the healing. Before: At my heaviest I was a whopping 291 pounds. I was newly married and newly diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis.

At 27, I didn’t think this would be my life. I had been overweight my entire life, I was always the chubby kid and tried everything under the sun to get my weight under control.After: With carnivore way of eating, I no longer suffer from mydaily heartburn, I barely get sick, I don’t suffer from allergies, I have all the energy in the world, I sleep like a baby, I no longer suffer from depression, I’m no longer addicted to food, my psoriasis has almost completely cleared and I’m down 22 more pounds. My body composition has completely changed, my moods have completely changed, I’m so much more relaxed and don’t have nearly as much anxiety as I did before. Now: I owe my life to keto and now the carnivore lifestyle and I don’t plan on ever going back. I have battled my weight all the way back to high school and even hid my bulimia from my family. After I married my high school sweetheart, my struggle with weight continued. I got up to 240 lbs, being only 5’2”. I avoided the mirror and the reality that I was on the verge of a health scare. Eventually I was diagnosed with prediabetes and high blood pressure.I continued the same cycle of losing and gaining weight over and over until I finallylearned about low carb and keto. It was such a relief to stop “exercising more and eating less” with no lasting results. Amazingly, I lost half my body weight with keto! As I continued on my journey, I heard about the simplicity of carnivore, and I was sold. Following an all-meat diet was the crucial thing to make this change last a lifetime. I just cook up my bacon and burgers and I am fulfilled all day. I can’t believe all the years I wasted hiding, but now I am ready to enjoy my fit and healthy body.

Meh

Just gonna get a little person and a little emotional so forgive me and ignore me lol

I have always been what you would say a “bigger girl” all my life. I kind of hit rock bottom in my high school years when my parents divorced and I fell into depression and lead to me gaining a lot of weight. And I mean a lot of weight. 

I struggled over the past 15 years to lose it. I hit my highest weight a few years ago and then lost over a hundred pounds when I moved to Louisiana. After losing that first initial pounds it was as if I hit a brick wall and have been stuck at a certain weight. 

When I was seventeen I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) yeah it’s not fun. Which lead to more bad news as I was also told that I have a hostile uterus so my dreams of having kids kind of went spiraling down the drain. 

I began going from having a period every other month to every few months, to maybe once or twice a year and then I haven’t had a period in over a year. Yes, I tried birth control and everything else my doctors recommended and it just seemed like my body was just giving up. 

Well recently, my parents got onto the Keto diet which includes two Keto drinks that you do one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I was quick to jump on this and try it out. The first few days I got rid of my bloated weight by peeing a LOT lol. I have been super strict with my eating on this and trying to slowly incorporate exercise ( I have a fucked up knee from a previous soccer injury that I never took care of properly) but I’m doing it to the best of my ability. 

Now here comes today, I’m dragging ass because the Keto drinks have caffeine in them and I haven’t received my caffeine free drinks for the afternoon. Anyways, I run off to the bathroom and lo and behold I started my period. After fifteen months of not having one single period, I get mine. Today. I about cried tears of joy because like holy shit. 

So my step-mom is a nurse so I about blew up her phone asking if the Keto diet could “reverse” symptoms of pcos. Sure enough, she says yes and I fall into a hole of how the Keto diet and pcos are connected and let me tell you I’m kind of relieved. 

Anywhoozers, I’m done rambling about this, just needed to get this off my chest and tell someone.

Hi guys... Updates

I haven’t updated tumblr since January 19th, so let me go ahead and tell ya what’'s been going on in my world!

Where I’ve Been

I am now maintaining 149lbs. I took a month off during February because it’s birthday month for not only me but also my boyfriend. So we enjoyed a good month of eating out and celebrating HIS 21st birthday by going out and drinking. (I’m a year older, 22 now!) School has also been super busy along with working 35-40 hours per week. 

Diet

It’s now March 9th, 2019 and I have been eating keto *MOST* days, but I have been eating popcorn and still going out and eating whatever the heck I want on Friday night/Saturday morning. Since Brandon and I decided against eating out for a while for moneys sake, I think I’m going to get back onto keto and commit 100%.

Possible Health Issues?

I also want to give you all an update on me and my health. If you’ve been following me for a while you know I literally struggle SO hard to lose weight when I don’t do keto. Like I will track macros and literally after a month I will have lost -.5 of a lb. Well my mom went to the doctor the other day and found out she has hypothyroidism. I am incredibly suspicious that this is something that I could have it now or if not, I could have insulin resistance like she does (from PCOS). Either way, I have many of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as sleeping a lot, hands/feet always being cold, thinned hair, and puffy face. I’m going into the doctor on the 28th of this month to see what’s going on with me. Hopefully I can update you all soon on that!

Workouts

Workouts have been dismal if I can get myself to go to the gym... Tonight was one of the first nights where I actually enjoyed the workout in roughly 2 weeks. I’m thinking about switching gyms again to perhaps motivate me and get me to some classes. My mom has a membership to this really fancy gym (Life Time) and she can get me a membership for $40 considering she’s a founding member. I just have to decide whether or not that’s a smart decision financially for myself right now. But I sure as hell am bored at Planet Fitness, but nothing can be that $11/month price!

Youtube

I’ve also decided to start a youtube channel because I not only have a shopping addiction but I LOVE activewear! So I decided to make a whole channel dedicated to it. You can subscribe if you want an opinion of of someone who’s relatively medium-large sized about some gym clothes. Most girls who review gym clothes are typically a size small, so I thought I’d bring some diversity to the table, ya know? Anyways I’ll link my other stuff if you’d like to follow me. :-)

It's freezing today. So I'm spending the day in my PJ's with low carb toast, all the coffee, lots of avocado (my mom brought me a ton and they're all ripe at the same time) and Netflix. Does four episodes count as a binge? I'm completely addicted to The Alienist.#sugarfree #lowcarb #foodpics #pcos #healthyfood #foodblogger  #keto #food #foodie #healthy #foodporn #lchf #lowcarbhighfat #diabeticlife #diabetes #type2diabetes #ketolife #foodblog  #ketodiet #ketogenic #banting #ketofam #jerf #ketocommunity #homemade #foodgasm #foodstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BngNCAzhIfo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=je95tvanpriz
