Screwed the pooch

I really screwed the pooch this past year. I went off keto last year, mainly to be honest here, because I wanted to lose forty pounds in two weeks. That's exaggerated, but true. So, I've gone on and off, usually for a few days. Here I am....twenty pounds HEAVIER than when I started. So the upshot...well the upshot is that it's more sustainable when I had a firm support network. So, if anyone remembers me, I'm back, please friend me. Or if your new or starting over, let's help one another.My handle last year was PinkAeryse, but I'm still Lori, only fluffier.

Hahahahaha, oh heck no. I did consume a massive amount of sugar...may have reacted similarly.0

Good news here - you must not be diabetic!
What was responsible - a single diabolical food, a protracted spell of sugar cravings, hypnosis.... ?0 -
Where shall I begin.....
1. Lack of electrolyte regime
2. Lack of companion supplements
3. Eating disorder
4. Sugar addiction
5. Scale weight obsession
6. Lack of self control
7. No immediate support
8. Continued persuasion from The Other to just 'be normal and exercise more'
I based my whole experience on just wanting to look hot. To be skinny.
I totally allowed what the scale said to regulate my mood.
I didn't accept or love myself the way I do now.
I absolutely didn't know my worth. As a fat person, as a skinny person, with a Mohawk, with a ponytail.
Now I'll be happy being able to jump around, not grunting while tying my shoes, feeling that awesome feeling of body awareness again...like I'm a powerhouse and watch me climb this tree.
I'm gonna fully get it, and I'm getting it more everyday. This is about not getting Alzheimer's, and about being the best Super Lori I can be.
Thank you caring enough to ask.
I hope someone can take something meaningful from this.13 -

Wow! That's a lot to digest.
Each of those factors is a focus area unto itself - add them together, and it's easy to see how even well-planned efforts can get derailed!
Maybe attitude and mindset are the most important of all, eh? They can bring the energy and patience that open our minds...
Sounds like you're in a good place now - whatever you did, bravo!2 -
Really I embraced that little girl who ate cake to fill a void. I basically said "C'mon, Lil Lori, let's eat as much cake as you WANT!" And then I took a good hard look at myself...there's no food, no drugs, no booze gonna fill that void. Then I started making bread (no bromides), eating grass fed, pastured eggs and dairy, just trying to figured on healing. All the while holding my own hand and continuously reminding myself that I shine. That I'm worth it. That I am responsible for nurturing and caring for me. It starts with mentality for sure.
I weighed myself, and that was June 1st.
I started, am and will be gentle with me. We all deserve it. Unconditional love, support and kindness.
And there will always be cake to fall back on.8 -
Was that too much? I can be pretty intense at times. Thank you for listening, thank you for the encouragement and accolade...we all need that at times. 4
-
Not too much at all - I fact just what I needed to read today. Thank you for being real and transparent about it!4
-
Thank you! Anytime. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I'm an open book. And I never want that to change.3
-
I think it's amazing that you are self aware enough to realize what mistakes you've made in the past that have derailed you and made/continue to make changes to prevent it again. I love the honesty!3
-
We share the same story Lori! From #3-8, AND the 20 pound re-gain after falling off the wagon.
But we're back! Go us!
I'm going to add you!2 -
What a great little place we have here.5
