Hi guys, I don't post very much, but I wanted to share this victory with you because I'm so excited about it.
This morning I weighed in a 149.6 lbs, which means that I'm no longer overweight according to my BMI! I started on a medically-supervised ketogenic diet on Sept 13/17 weighing 270.6 lbs, so I've lost 121 lbs in total.
I started to get a lot of comments like, "Wow, you must feel great!" and "You must feel like a new person", and to be honest, for a long time, I didn't. But at some point, something flipped and now I really do. It was like I suddenly got a surge of energy. I sleep better, and even when I don't get much sleep, I don't feel sleepy during the day (I work shift work). I feel like I have so much energy to do things. Before, I never wanted to do anything because it took away from my time to do nothing... I know that sounds ridiculous. I was tired and stressed out all the time, I was embarrassed to be out in public because I felt like people would be judging me (being on reddit when FPH was a thing really did a number on me). Now, I'm constantly finding reasons to go outside, finding errands to run, going to the further grocery store so my walk is longer, etc. I LIKE being active because I feel like I have all this energy to expend, and it doesn't make me all sweaty and out of breath and sore and embarrassed.
Thanks for listening, and thanks for sharing all your tips, struggles, and victories. I'm mostly a lurker, but I read this subreddit every day for inspiration!
