51.8 pounds down in 4 months

This is so extremely hard for me to post. I hid from the public for years. I have yo yo dieted my whole life. I even battled anorexia at age 19. 4 months ago I turned 31 and I was at my highest weight in my life. I decided I was sick of hating myself. I had gained 80 pounds in a 3 year period due to stress of work and the stress of my ex husband who 10 years after me leaving him due to him being abusive, still hurt me by using my son against me.

I decided enough was enough. I needed to change. I found Keto and haven't looked back. 3 days in and I was hooked. I never felt so good in my entire life. I realized I have been addicted to carbs my whole life. As soon as they left my body, I felt better, slept better, lost all cravings, stopped having constant stomach aches and so much more. I started 4 months ago TODAY! Down 51.8 pounds, 3 pant sizes and 3 shirt sizes. Crazy! I am still 30 pounds away from my goal weight, but the best thing that has came from this is that finally the after 31 years of life, finally have learned to love myself. That speaks volumes for me, at 120 pounds I still thought I was morbidly obese, so for me to love myself now, when I am not even close to that says so much for me. I realized no matter what weight I have ever been, I have stayed me. I am a loving mother, a great wife, a dedicated worker, a smart woman with a degree in Psychology and a loving 4th grade teacher who has dedicated my life helping kids to grow up learning to love themselves and not let bullies get to them like I did(I was bullied my whole childhood which is what led to my prior anorexia). My weight has only ever mattered to me (oh and my abusive ex husband). But I am never ever letting it hold me back again. I am never going back to eating how I did before. I plan on staying keto for life. I truly have never felt so good and truly do not miss those foods. I have found so many new keto approved foods I love. Whatever works for you, stick to it. The most important thing is willpower and making a personal choice not to cheat. Its all in your head. ♡ So proud of me!
