Keto Living

I really feel some days that I am a prisoner to the Scale.  I wish I could break free of this horrible device. I read on some of my FB groups how some people never weigh themselves.  I don't know how they do it.  Well...I do, they measure their success with NSV (non Scale victories), like their clothes fitting better, before and after photo's, not getting winded as quickly and stuff like that. Me...I need the NUMBER.  Why? Still trying to figure that one out. Yesterday I went to a Country Music event at Bear Creek.  Bear Creek is a resort about 5 miles from my house.  My son-in-law was playing in 2 bands that performed there.  It was nice.  I got out of the house.  I got some walking in AND I ate there and stayed Keto.  I had a cheeseburger with lettuce tomato & onion, with a side of mustard...and it was delicious!!! I had a small loss today.  I am down to 124.8 -  I think the IF is helping.  I do miss my coffee in t...

FINALLY!!!  I broke my stall!!! That 226.4 that held on for a week has been broken!!! I was 125.2 this morning!!! So yesterday I did my first IF. I learned something about myself in doing so.  Most of this is in IN MY HEAD!!!  I stressed out about the thought of not having my coffee first thing in the AM, "I am going to get a massive headache if I don't drink my BPC!!!" "I am going to be STARVING by 10:00 AM" "I am NOT going to be able to do this!!!"  These are the thoughts of a food addict.  It's all about the food. Do you see my self talk??? It's TERRIBLE!!!  I did NOT get a headache, I did NOT starve and I COULD and DID do it.  I even went past my planned 10:00 to about noon.  Yes, I was very hungry by that point...but I filled up really fast. I woke up and tried to keep my mind occupied.  I won't say it was easy.  Breaking habits is NEVER easy...but it was worth it.  At 9:00 AM I went to the Farmer's Market and picked u...

I know that some people do not like to do Fat Bombs - but I can tell you that these "SAVED ME" during the first 3 weeks of Keto.  They are easy to make and will kill a craving instantly. #KetoOn https://www.savorytooth.com/fat-bombs/

Hello, my name is Lori and I am a food addict in recovery.  I started the Keto WOE 3 weeks ago at 237.4 lbs. Yesterday I began my 4th week on Keto and I have decided to share my journey. First though, a little about me.  I am 54 and a very happily married (to Carleton) mother of 3 (Beci, Ricky & Kelli).  I started having children early so all of them are grown up and moved out of the house.  I also have a stepson (Jeramy) and 1 grandson (Hollis) who is my everything. The sad thing is Hollis lives in Oregon and I live in Pennsylvania. (Photo L to R: Josh, Kelli, Carleton, Me, Willie Nelson the dog, Ricky, Hollis, Beci, Krystn & Jeremy.) For much of my life I was thin.  I was also active and a smoker. Around my late twenties I started playing around with quitting smoking.  I'd quit, gain weight, start smoking, diet, lose weight, quit smoking gain weight...etc... I finally managed to get it together and quit smoking for good in my late 30...
