18 days sober now. Sobriety is going well as always. Lots of stressful things going on in my life but today has been free of the stress so far. I'm around all kinds of tempting junk food food ATM that will be in the house for awhile since I'm not eating it. My room mate will be the one eating it lol. Lucky for me there is…

A very successful first week of Keto: Day 1 - 12/08 - 278.4 (keto) Day 2 - 12/09 - 274.8 (keto) Day 3 - 12/10 - 266.6 (keto) Day 4 - 12/11 - 264.6 (keto) Day 5 - 12/12 - 263.0 (keto) Day 6 - 12/13 - 261.8 (keto) Day 7 - 12/14 - 260.6 (keto) Unlucky sickness, money problems and recovering: Day 8 - 12/15 - 257.4 (very sick)…

A few days ago someone said my legs looked extremely different and I didn't get what they meant. They looked the same as always looking down at them. However, they told me to look in the mirror and I was in shock for a bit. It's pretty awesome to me. I lost so much weight in my legs they are no longer touching anywhere,…

Forced myself to wake up early and get out of bed. Hung out with my friend all day having fun and now I'm finally relaxing in my room. Had a good day. My favorite part of the day was eating a slice of cantaloupe outside in the rain. Going to play some Mount and Blade, drink water and listen to some music.

Watching Vinland Saga, drinking water and browsing. Enjoying the relaxing, peaceful night.

It sure doesn't feel like a victory... all of my clothes just don't fit. All of my shirts don't fit. All of my pants don't fit. All of my shorts don't fit. Every time I have to go outside I have to wear a pair of jeans as high up my stomach as possible, wrap a belt around my ribs and wear the exact same medium-size coat…

I'm a 6'0" 250~ lb male and I've been eating less than 1,200 calories for a long time. I've consistently gained weight and stalled on a normal diet if I follow what is recommended. If I even attempt to meet 1,800 calories I will be sick and it becomes impossible to exercise or enjoy anything. I'm currently in Keto…

Also, as far as the drama in the thread goes, I don't understand why people are trying to stop you from losing weight or saying you NEED to eat at least 1200 calories. You're 130 lbs which means you got a little bit to lose for sure based on your own description of your weight gain, but 100 lbs sounds extreme to me. Maybe…

Keto has been amazing for me so far. There are so many things that have improved for me. It calmed down my anxiety, improved my sleep, improved my depression, helped me take control of my food addiction, put me completely in control of my actions and delivered amazing weight loss on top of it all. I feel a deep clarity. I…

10th day of sobriety. The days pass by in a blur. Checking in just to check in. I've lost nearly 20 lbs this week by switching to Keto. Money is running so tight though because of a simple little mistake I had nothing to do with that I will be combining fasting with Keto because I simply cannot afford to eat every day.…

Broke my sobriety of 232 days on Dec. 2 as I said, and Dec. 3 I also drank. After that though I am sober 4 days now. Feeling optimistic about the future and confident that I can bounce back no matter what. The best tool I have at my disposal is my resilience, 232 days of resilience doesn't mean nothing, I'm not the same…

Good morning. Today is not a good day for me. Today is the day that wasn't supposed to exist, but it is happening right now. I don't know what to do, but it is happening again. After 232 days of being alcohol free, I have failed. 30 minutes ago and ongoing, I am consuming ethanol. I'm not going to be pessimistic about it…

Here is another one. In the before pic I was uhhh... losing my mind. Definitely.

Hair is a mess. Need to take a shower. Posting anyways. It's weird knowing that these pictures were both from 2019. Even though I get down on myself so hard all of the time, I know that in the end, I have come so very far. This is only the beginning... still a long road ahead.

To fix my sleeping schedule.

Chilling at my computer listening to some Aphex Twin and drinking some hot water to ward off the COLD

Certain groups of people go too far whilst striving for acceptance to the point they identify obesity just as some unshakeable part of who they are and take any comments or advice related to such as an attack against their very person. It's an extremist coping mechanism that people need to be snapped out of. Failure is a…

Mini-goal for end of September coming in to this late was to hit 285 lbs before October 1st. Well, I weighed myself today and I already somehow managed to hit it. What the hell? I'm apparently coming in with a bang... cool. Now my goal for the rest of my short September is to make sure I keep under that, but also go for…

Oh man... I'm fasting right now so everything sounds amazing. I'd have to go with some mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Cleaned all around the house and yard from 10:00AM to 2:30PM. Feel nice and spent just like after a good workout. Will get some more exercise in my room tonight as well.
