I just want to share this with people that may understand. When I talk to others about it it's hard for them to relate because they haven't been in this exact situation.
I am 74 days strong on keto. And by strong I mean I have literally remained keto this entire time. Not one single cheat. Just writing that is insane to me because I have NEVER committed to a diet or a lifestyle for over two weeks. For the past 6 years I've given up every single time.
Because of this, I feel immensely proud of myself. At this point I'm not even talking about physically or about my weight. I am just so proud that I finally love myself enough to commit to becoming healthier and never looking back. I love myself enough at this point that whenever I even think about wanting bread, I turn my thoughts to how much stronger my desire is to reach my goal, than to eat that bread.
The mental change that has occurred in me throughout this journey, that may be almost as satisfying as watching the pounds shed.
74 days, and eating keto just feels natural at this point. It's now become my default, I don't have to think about it too much. There are occasions when yes I know I'd enjoy the carb, but at this point the fact that I've made it this far without a cheat makes me feel like "girl if you're gonna cheat this far down, it better be superrrrrrr worth it." And honestly, no bagel is that damn good! Not better than how I feel about myself now, at least.
I don't weigh myself, and I think that has a lot to do with my success this time around. But I'm getting to that point where so many people around me are starting to notice the change. That and the way I feel are enough for me... numbers are irrelevant to me.
I just wanted to go on this little rant about how life changing this experience has been. There is now turning back now... just KCKO!
