Progress is being made. Since I started in June I've lost/devoured 41 pounds. But the last 3 months have been frustrating and somewhat discouraging. Progress was up and down.
I've chosen to take a two week break from the Keto lifestyle and eat whatever I want.
I'm having a crisis. I don't know if it's the food thing or what, but my self esteem and self confidence is plummeting and I'm feeling ugly and unlovable.
It could also have something to do with the pictures that were taken of me today. Even though I can see some progress being made, I see that I'm still extremely overweight.
I don't want to give up because I like the advantages of the Keto lifestyle, the mental clarity, the energy, the ease of the diet, the good food. I'm just discouraged because it's so slow losing the weight.
My blood sugars are already high today. That's causing me stress. I'm also struggling with allowing such freedom because I've been so careful for so long.
I did research and some opinions were that taking a break every so often, with the understanding that it's for a limited period, is good. I'm trusting this will be a good thing and that I won't gain too much weight back.
Prayers and support are appreciated. :-)
