I was feeling an old school tuna melt today so I made one in a tomato 😊🍅🐟🧀👌#lunchtime #lowcarb #lowcarbhighfat #lchf #protein #goodchoices (at Shoreline, Washington)
Dinnertime! 😍there’s pot roast with some guac on top, avocado poblano dressing on the salad, mashed butternut squash with butter & cream cheese & chili powder & black pepper (Matt likes his squash sweet so his got pumpkin pie spice and a little Truvia, YUMMM having this next time), and pepperoncinis because that’s how I do 🌶🌶🌶 #lowcarb #lowcarbhighfat #lchf #lchflifestyle #keto #xxketo #foodstagram #weightloss #hellyeahleftovers (at Shoreline, Washington)

Deviled eggs are my favorite to eat, but egg salad is my favorite to make because it doesn’t matter if my eggs look like I peeled them with a lawnmower 😂😂 egg salad salad for lunch, yum! 🥚🥗😍 #lchf #lowcarbhighfat #keto #ketogenic #xxketo #lunchtime #weightloss #weightlossjourney #protein #healthy #salad #pepperonicinis #goodchoices (at Shoreline, Washington)
Very pleased with my first attempt at cloud bread! I added some garlic powder and onion powder and lots of black pepper with some thyme sprinkled on top to make them pretty 😊we’ll be having them with the Mississippi pot roast that’s in my crockpot right now for dinner tonight! My house smells SO GOOD. Happy new year! 🎉🎉 #lchf #cloudbread #keto #lowcarbhighfat #gettinit #domesticgoddess #newyearsday #2017 (at Shoreline, Washington)

Someone else drew it!
I will reblog every single one of these.
216.7. I have gained 12 pounds (90% water weight obvs but STILL) in 6 days. If I had stuck with it, it was very likely that at 204-something on 12/24 I could have been under 200 by New Year’s. But here I am. Did great, A+, 100%, eating only protein and veggies all through early and mid December. Planned to have one glass-of-eggnog cheat on Christmas day. *Planned.* Did fine for food on Christmas Eve but had way too much wine, and was hungover all Christmas Day, so clearly jumped at the chance to give up on myself again, ate Chinese food which would have been fine as a treat if i had let it end there, but have been eating carbs nonstop since. especially fries and burgers and pizza and more chinese food, last night. I feel like crap. My hands are so swollen I can’t make a tight fist. My skin is breaking out and horribly dry. my stomach is sour and churning away at all the starch still in there from last night and there is a horrible taste in my mouth. I haven’t been sleeping well. I haven’t even mentioned the bloating. I KNOW BETTER THAN THIS. I KNOW CARBS ARE BAD FOR ME, PERSONALLY, ME, THEY ARE BAD FOR ME. I am turning 29 next month and after this year I will have completely wasted my 20s on obesity. Why did I do this? I’m getting married in 289 days. If I want to be under 140, I have 77.7 lbs to lose - lucky 7! - .26lbs/day or 1.88lbs a week or ~10lbs/month. That is doable. That is within the realms of reality. BUT I HAVE TO STOP GIVING UP ON MYSELF IF I EVER WANT TO GET ANYWHERE.
2017 is one year out of hopefully 80+ I will experience. THIS YEAR —specifically, THE NEXT 289 DAYS — I WILL COMMIT TO DO MY BEST AND ALWAYS:
-Recognize that I only get one body, which I know from experience looks and feels its best when I eat mainly veggies and protein and limit processed foods, and strive to act accordingly
-Recognize that my job is sedentary and I must make an effort to move as much as possible - use it or lose it.
-Recognize that I myself specifically am particularly susceptible to carb cravings and need to always be on high alert — if it walks like an addiction and talks like an addiction…
-Recognize that if I feel the need to eat food that’s not the best for me, 7 bites of anything is probably more than enough.
-Recognize that everyone makes mistakes once in a while, but ONE mistake is NO EXCUSE to take further time off my food plan, which is far better for my body in the long run than however good carbs might taste short-term.
-Recognize how terrible my body feels when I give in to cravings. Who knows what’s best for me, anyway, my brain or my stomach?
-Recognize how woefully under-hydrated I am and try to find good ways to encourage better water-drinking habits.
-Recognize the importance of keeping a log of my progress and do my best to track my weight regularly.
You can do this, Future Me. Past Me is rooting for you.
I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more.
I know I deserve more.
it’s so fuckin weird when you see ppl you went to highschool with and they have wives… and kids….. and houses…… …and real people jobs ????????? like I bought some juice today that almost landed me in debt but it’s fine I’m fine
a moment of silence for all the internet friends who you lost track of years ago and still think about sometimes
if you’re ever proud of me and say ‘that’s my girl’ I can guarantee my heart will melt into a little puddle of happiness
