In August of 2018 at 230lbs, I started Keto. I’m talking super healthy, with my carbs coming just from vegetables. In August of 2019 I’d lost 90 lbs and weighing in at 140. Labs were great, I felt great. I did all of this to help with PCOS and hopefully conceive.

Then Life hit me hard. Everything I knew in my personal life had fallen apart. My brain just had me believing that I still wasn’t thin enough, I wasn’t pretty enough and Before I knew it, I fell off the wagon so hard and developed an eating disorder. I was bulimic. My first weigh in with my doctor, I was 102 lbs... bulging bones, pale, and severely under weight.

There was a time of trying to force your normal every day foods down my throat and my body just couldn’t handle it... at 98 lbs I got serious, and went back to Keto. Not weight loss related, but health related.

I’m back to 116 lbs since January 1st and still technically not the healthiest weight, but I’m getting there and my labs are returning to normal... I know keto is a joke to some, even my boss at work strongly opposes it and calls it a fad and picks about it, but he doesn’t know.. he doesn’t understand and that’s okay.

I guess I’m just posting to say, that weight is important in a lot of aspects, BUT IT DOES NOT DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. Please be healthy, please stay you, be motivated but understand that your appearance is not more important that your mental, physical and emotional health.

I love you all and I’m wishing the best for this new year! 💕
