Two months on the Keto diet and I’ve lost 22 pounds. I’ve felt as if my real body was buried underneath almost an armor of fat for a very long time. I was hiding away. I felt overwhelmed and at battle with myself, my own self discouraging mentality and life in general. Food offered me comfort and I accepted the weight gain as not only inevitable but as impossible to control. Now, as the weight comes off, I feel empowered. I’m taking control again. I’m losing clutter in my home and in my mind. I feel enthusiasm and I feel energized by new or maybe better said, renewed possibilities. I’m more comfortable in my own skin and have bravely posted photos of my face bare of makeup, a state very few have seen since I was fourteen. Yes, it’s only twenty two pounds I’ve shed and I still have twice that amount left to lose but I feel as if I’ve let go of so much more. And as I freed my heart and mind of those often overwhelming burdens, I have embraced life again.
