I've made it thru my first 30 days of living and logging in Keto.. Lost 14 lbs this month! Love that the cravings for sweets are pretty much gone and that I don't ever really feel hungry. That alone is very motivating!

I thought I had given up here on MFP...went mia for several months, but today I'm grateful to be back 15 days in a row. I'm also grateful to have found a program that works for me and because of it, I've lost over 20lbs!! What are you grateful for today? :)

I second the olive oil and lemon.. I usually add some dried thyme and fresh garlic and pepper.. So good! I even take it with me to restaurants instead of using theirs.

Today I am grateful for my strong legs. I've started walking again..trying to get in 30 minutes a day and I've noticed that my edema in my legs has already begun to improve!

Today I am grateful to have completed my first week of goals here on MFP, which included logging in all my food. I've lost 6 lbs! I'm grateful for the body I have now, because it is strong and beautiful and getting more so every day! :)

what?! nobody is feeling grateful?! lol Prissypen, I love your response! Definitely something to be grateful for... :) Today I'm grateful for friends.. Yesterday I blogged about how I am a people person and need to feel connected, but because of my weight I've been in hiding. Today, a friend I hadn't seen in awhile texted…

This is the first place I want to visit in the morning when I wake up.. lol. These past five days, I've been trying to voice my feelings rather than eating them. It's not easy..The other…

Kitnthecat, I like what you said about giving yourself permission to eat.. I'm finding that to be what's best for me, as well.. Thanks everyone for your responses! ;)

Thank you Wandalula.. food is terribly powerful, isn't it? I am glad I started up again and appreciate all the kind words! :) Have a terrific weekend!

ShannonMpls, your comments on dropping the self-hate ring so true!! I love what you said "Every healthy choice is an exercise in self-love" and being a believer of the law of attraction, I need to replace the ugly words I say to myself with positive ones. Thank you!

I am so overwhelmed by the responses and I can't stop crying. I believe these are tears of relief and letting go of all of the pain that I've been keeping to myself for so long that it just feels so wonderful to hear such kind words and to be encouraged and supported and not judged! I'm just very grateful to have put it…

Thanks for the encouragement! :)

thanks for the response. :) walking is such a good idea and a great place to start!

I just started as well.. let's encourage each other! We can do this! :)
