A lot changed, a lot more than just a number on that scale.
By: Kim W.
Yes, this is a picture of progress. But it does not define EVERYTHING that has changed about me since I started The Ketogenic Way of Life/Eating 10 weeks ago. A lot changed, a lot more than just a number on that scale, that number haunts us all the time, which it shouldn't but it does............... Progress: I can paint my toenails by sitting in a straight chair and bending forward without losing my breath lol. I used to try and reach my toes by doing yoga poses on the sofa lol. Progres: I can put my socks/shoes standing up, sitting down and bringing my foot to my knee to do so. Progress: I am wearing my work uniforms that did not fit properly for a long time and soon will have to go down yet another size, oh what a shame. Progress: I wake up in the morning ready to go. Progress: I have learned that I am not hungry all the time, it's all in my head and ignore it. Progress: I listen to my body and it's easy to do. Progress: I feel like I could dance all day long. Progress: I don't have trouble walking from my truck to the Walmart entrance. (which can be very far away lol) Progress: I hiked a hike I snowshoed last winter. I remembered the areas where I said:"Oh please tell me it's over, or close to it, please" While being out of breath and wondering if I was able to finish or not. I passed those areas this time with practically no effort at all and NOT out of breath and I kept on keeping on like a "normal" hiker! Progress: I AM HAPPY. Progress: I canoed. Said I would NEVER even get close to a canoe, EVER... I canoed. Progress: I hung in a hammock. Said I would NEVER even get close to a hammock. I hung in a hammock. Progress: I used to not be able to pedal the seated stationary bike at the gym for more than 2 mins because I was not comfortable and my knees were in pain, now I can go forever if I really wanted to lol. Progress: My thoughts are clearer. Progress: I have more confidence in myself. I can articulate a bit better than before. I always "trip" on my tongue when talking, not enough confidence. Progress: my arm fits in the blood pressure machine at the Walmart Pharmacy! lol Progress: I don't have knee pain anymore. Progress: I AM HAPPY. Progress: There is more space between me and the steering wheel. lol Progress: My BMI says I am obese, not morbidly obese anymore. I used to be in the extreme morbid obese zone! Progress: I am not anxious anymore, I don't care what people think of me anymore, I don't even care if people hate me, I am not depressed anymore, I am not suicidal anymore, I am not stressed anymore, I am rarely really pissed off lol. Progress: Oh did I forget to mention..........I AM HAPPY. Progress: I love my body, even if it's not perfect, it will be. Progress: I want to live my life to the fullest. Oh hell I WANT TO LIVE PERIOD! I am sure there are more Progress points But I think these are enough for now. There is more to my transformation than a picture, than a number, than a size. My progress Points, out "weigh" any number on that scale. I would have much more to say on this but it would be too long and I’d keep you here all day! I do have a fb page where you can see my journey. I have been documenting since November 11th 2015. https://www.facebook.com/adventuretoabetterme/ Down 35.1 lbs on keto since June 29th 2018 Down 136.5 lbs since November 11th 2015 Down 175.5 lbs since 2006.
