In my experience, yes they do. In grand fashion. And you’re correct in that the void needs to be filled. It takes quite a bit of insight and healing, along with completely tearing down and renovating. So many people aren’t able to find the way. Yes there’s an opioid crisis. Probably many addicts began with prescription…

Oh jeez, ME TOO!!! I’m still recovering!!!!!

I call dibs on the Sleeping Beauty one!!!! :D :sleeping: :D

I have to add here that I was recommended to up my salt as well when my symptoms never got better on keto. I was a raging, angry, weak *kitten*. I upped my mag, potassium and sodium to ludicrously high amounts. Keto just isn’t a One Size Fits All. I had so many manic episodes and panic attacks! My hair started to fall out.…

High five and Happy New Year!!

I really enjoy Bernard Cornwell. Maeve Binchy. Susannah Dunne.

Dear Anonymous, I get so scared when I share tidbits of myself that are tarnished. I’m always very nervous that I am misunderstood and yet you accept me exactly as I am. We aren’t friends, but I admire you. Me.

It would be so easy to blame my eighteen year drug addiction on oh let’s see, my father, my mother, society, social services, my ex and then my subsequent obesity as an after effect. There’s only one person who is responsible here. That’s me. I look at it as Survival of the Fittest. No one made me use and no one made me…

Fascinating. Thank you for taking the time to share!

And what about heavy cream? Is it allowed in coffee? :D ;)

This really hit me in the feels. You’re right!!!!! What an insightful moment. Fat me DOES deserve all the good things as well!!! Well said and thank you VERY much!!

I am so glad I looked at these!!! Thank you all for sharing!! It’s such an inspiration for me. Congratulations all!!!!

Congratulations!!! Being loved at any size helps tremendously!! I love that you took it at a reasonable pace!! :)

I’m very glad for you!! I’m also happy that you have loving support, it’s so helpful!!!! :smiley:

Merry Christmas from the Great Lakes region!!!

High five and Hell Yeah!!

Hello there!! It does make the struggle a bit more difficult, it seems. I was in active addiction for almost twenty years. I used heroin and crack. I’ve got almost five years recovery. So that being said, I went twenty years of cycles of gaining and losing fifty pounds. Probably around ten times. My bones, hair and teeth…

Hello!! I’ve finally joined. I’m having a rough time here with my head playing games with me. Going over and around, figuring how much faster I could lose if I cut my calories back. Which has shown to only add stress. And binge eating. And subsequent gain. I’ve been losing at 1800 calories. And I’m definitely not hungry…

Sounds much like myself as well. So 16:8 is eating for only eight hours per day. Say, skip breakfast and only eat lunch and dinner. So a window of eating. Say you eat your first meal at noon. Then eat your last meal before eight. It’s easier for me, for ME, to not focus so much on the time, instead just eating my two meals…

I had to cut out the 420 in my life. It made me lazy. It made me mindlessly eat. It actually started giving me panic attacks. Now it’s just very occasionally, when I’m going to be doing massive manual labor. Then it helps me focus without munchies. Also, the stickies provided by @Lounmoun helped me, and many many others,…

My whole holiday plan is condensed into two days. My family holiday Saturday (three cups of eggnog, add rum) and Christmas Day. I’ll probably do my best to pre-log. Also eat a ton of veggies and fruit before dessert. I’m really gunning for the eggnog. Wish me luck, it’s been a year since I’ve had a drink.

I measure out a cup of whole milk in the morning for coffee. I drink around four cups, sometimes five. I also use liquid sucralose.

Thank you for the update and encouraging news!!!! High five!!

I’d like to say high five.

I’m making slouchy hats. Pretty simple. That’s me. In the green. Not the model in the beard lol. Next up I’m going to make the bears/hat combo. Not too fabulous seeing what others here are doing but I’m happy with it.

You inspire me soooo much!!! Thank you for sharing your accomplishments!!!!! I enjoy being a part of your day. You’ve really helped me today, I was pretty discouraged. Thank you!! Good luck at your interview!!!

Hey I’m in the same boat!!! Ten days no loss. I’m so glad I’ve been through this before and know all the tricks of water weight. It doesn’t make it easier though. I was really disappointed this morning. So what did I do? I had the thought “I know someone else is going through this RIGHT now, with me. I’m not alone, I see…

YES!!!! Ugh. So much nope.
