Good morning, folks! :)

I was sitting thinking last night of the time I went though in my younger years when I was really lucky to have anything at all to eat. This lasted for months. When I did get something it was just a little grits with homemade gravy, or little rice with homemade gravy, or (if I was lucky) a KFC chicken breast with a cup of mashed potatoes & half of a biscuit that a friend would buy and share with me from time to time. I still maintained my weight of 170lbs at 17 years old. Now how is that possible if calories are the big picture?

A few years before I found LCHF, I did the Jillian Michael's Body Revolution diet and program. I'm here to tell ya, there would be puddles of sweat in the floor when I finished the dvd's. That heifer just about killed me! LOL I lost some weight (220 to 177 to be exact in about 8 months), but it came with a high price. I would go in the other room while the family ate, because I would be drooling and give in. My depression/anxiety was still very much alive. Then to top it off, I plateaued. I couldn't exercise any harder. I couldn't eat any less.

Then, I found LCHF/KETO. 243-145lbs. Little exercise (for health not weight loss), no cravings, no anxiety, no depression, all blood markers improved, feel like I went from 80 years old to 16 again (see bio). I dread cooking most days. I'm like. "Y'all hungry again?! Already?!" If you have ever found Jesus (or any other higher power), that is the only way I can truly describe what finding keto means to me. Keto is my dietary higher power, so to speak. I have to fight the urge daily to stand on the mountain top, and tell everyone about it. So please forgive me if the urge wins from time to time.

I know this post invites conflict, but the urge won today. Maybe for every 100 I have to defend my WOE against there will be 1 with enough of an open mind to research and find themselves again like I have. That's worth all of the conflict in the world to me.

Have a lovely day! :)
