Just a Little, But Big Reminder!
In April of 2014 I was so addicted to pop I drank probably two 2 liters a day of Dr Pecker. Anyways, I knew all the stories of aspartame, but I thought I cannot win either way, I will go with it for now. I started drinking crystal light, and honestly with in a month or so I could tell I lost weight. I weighed almost 350 lbs in April and was at my highest weight. After I quit the sugar I noticed status’s by a facebook friend (you know who you are) about #LCHF and I started reading down her wall and thought hmmmm…… Honestly a lot of the status’s felt like they were made specific just for me. Probably because she been there and knew how I felt! <3
So I have lived with very high blood pressure, horrible heart burn for years now. I started the LCHF diet on June 23rd 2014 (330.6 lbs) with high hopes after just three days, because miraculously I already lost 3.2 lbs and was completely shocked! I kept going and my first two weeks I lost 16 lbs. After that it did slow down quite a bit, but I still kept losing. I watched my blood pressure go down and my heart burn was completely gone in about a week of the diet. Now it’s Jan 2015 and 52.8 lbs (277.8 lbs) have just vanished! I have lost 5 inches on my waist and 3.75 on my hips! I can fit into a pair of jeans that were given to me 3 years ago and I couldn’t ever get them up!! Now I fit them almost loose!
I’m so Happy! I have more energy now than I have had ever! I used to have such trouble just standing to do dishes! Now I can do yard work, walk the yard with the hubby, I can walk! Just Walk! That alone has been something that has made me feel so good. I was able to rake all of the leaves from behind my house into a huge pile without sitting down for a broken back break! It sometimes brings me to tears, because I can do something that I knew I couldn’t before. I am just so happy that I am learning and living more every day and I do feel so much more confident than I did before! I feel almost “normal” sometimes like if I don’t look down I wouldn’t know I was still so overweight! I still have a long way to go, but I will make it there! Because I can!
You are doing great,So happy for you!!Keep up the good work!! Never give up!!!You are getting smaller, happier and healthier everyday!!!!Thanks for the recipes and encouragment to help me along my journey!!!!
