Having lost 100+ pounds
That is definitely up there with my favorite things.
Other favorites:
My rosacea cleared up - I don't need to take medication to control my skin reactions to things
Cooking half an avacado in bacon or hamburger grease for a couple of minutes.
HWC in my espresso
Roasted broccoli with cheese on top
Cheese. All kinds. Piles of it. Melted on pretty much anything.
Having perfect blood tests every time I go in. Having my thyroid medication lowered because my body is doing a better job taking care of itself. Having perfect perfect perfect blood sugar tests and being no where near that "boderline" number of pre-diabetes.0 -
Those are great things super girl.0

Things that make me smile:
All that yummy grassfed butter
Fancy cheese.
Bacon (of course)
Feeling super creative when I cook and think up meal ideas to keep my family in the game with me.
REALLY feeling like I CAN keep doing this and the success will come. I don't even feel like I am chasing after it, like I did with so many other attempts to get healthy and lose weight. Now it just feels like the weight coming off is an eventuality- not a desperate race to the finish line. I love that. 0 -
Things that make me smile about Keto:
1) The biggest by far is the less hunger and never being hangry.
2) My smaller belts, pants (14 sizes), and now shirts (from 3X to 1X)
3) I can move so much better, I feel like a train that just un-hooked it's cars
4) I no longer have to take Advil for all my minor aches and pains
5) I have a new found love for fatty meats. I have always loved fat. But pre-keto, the fat demonizers taught me to stop eating it. The guilt has been lifted!
6) I no longer take gobs of diabetic medicine, no injections (4X a day), no pricking of my finger, no statins, no blood pressure meds, no appetite suppression meds, no aspirin. I am down to Metformin and magnesium.
7) It makes both my doctors smile and congratulate me, both shook my hands!
8) I now have an opportunity to help people with this way of eating. That makes me smile immensely!
I hope this helps,

So love the fact that I am not starving hungry when I get up in the morning.
My new-found love for cheese - all types.0 -
Perhaps it's not a cool thing to admit but something I like about Keto is the schadenfreude I experience when I happily eat full fat (bacon, cheese, meats oh my!) while I watch my my co-workers grudgingly eating high carb/low fat nastiness (dry bean salads, low fat cheese and what not) because it's "so much healthier"... Mwahaha!0

Taking butter, HWC and parmesan cheese and turning it into the best Alfredo sauce I've ever eaten. My son thinking I am IT for making said Alfredo sauce!0
