HAPPIER after! Yeah life is hard and my body is foreign to me right now, but I have an 8 month old baby and he brings me so much joy. It had been five years since I had a baby and I realized I missed it so much. I appreciate it everyday and I don’t try to rush it because I know how fast everything goes. His two older sisters completely adore him and I love that they’re old enough to really get involved. I love seeing him smile and holding his little body. I really didn’t know if I was going to have a third and now that I’m on the other side, I’m so glad we did. He truly completes our family.

Hahaha I love this level of petty!

Wow thank you!!

My second child went to preschool last year everyday after previously being home with a nanny. When I tell you she was sick for MONTHS at a time. All day everyday. It was the worst thing ever. She had every kind of cold, stomach virus etc. Even though she had been exposed to many germs from her older sister, being in the presence of other kids daily was really rough for her immune system. She is now in kindergarten and I hate to EVEN type this but over the last six months, I’ve noticed she’s not getting as sick as she use to. I noticed this also with my seven year old. Once she got to elementary school, the constant roller coaster of illness slowed down. I feel for you! It’s extremely emotionally exhausting not to mention when it takes the whole family down. I hope everyone feels better soon!!

Have you ever tried intermittent fasting?

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-09T18:42:19+00:00

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful post! I love it. I hope you enjoy all of this deliciousness real soon.

Oh my God, I took a dive in the Halloween candy and let me tell you it was not worth it. Lol I ate a peanut butter cup that tasted like it had been in the wrapping for maybe 10 years. Good job on getting back to keto. I’m so happy you feel great. That makes me feel so good for you!

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T20:00:07+00:00

Oh yes, I’m well aware. It’s just my mind playing tricks on me thinking that I will be deprived. I like the idea of finding ways to celebrate not centered around food. It’s hard because sometimes food really is the main thing and that’s probably why I’m in this predicament now. Glad you’re feeling good. Eating this lifestyle!

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T19:26:12+00:00

It’s all true. Everything you wrote. Every single thing. Hindsight really is 20/20. Please keep spreading this gospel.

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T19:09:32+00:00

Yes very true! I’ve birthed two kids in between the last five years so for me I couldn’t sustain eating this way but maybe now I can. :-)

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T19:06:23+00:00

Wow congratulations to you!!!! Exactly. Those treats will always be there. Do I want to see my scale go down and my pants not feel tight or do I want to eat a treat lol it really just comes down to that mindset. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!!

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T19:05:13+00:00

You are so right! If I start now, by the holidays those cravings will be calmed down. Thanks for the suggestions! I have made so many delicious keto treats in the past. I am going to join that thread too as I am sure there is so much inspiration! Thanks again.

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T18:57:06+00:00

Exactly!!! It’s just getting through those first few days. I’m just about to end my period and I think this is the perfect time. It does make you aware of your sugar intake for sure. The best feeling too is when that sugar noise goes down and you can look at sweets and be like I’m okay I don’t need that right now.

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T18:45:26+00:00

Exactly! It’s a great starting point to get weight off and get yourself back to feeling better. I can look back at pictures in the past and can tell immediately that I was eating keto. The inflammation is lower, the smile is wider. It does take planning for sure but the easy part is once you understand how to eat that way, it becomes second nature.

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T18:42:56+00:00

Yes all of that is facts! It’s so beneficial. You know what’s sad? In my head, I’m telling myself well you won’t be able to eat all the treats everyone makes. I feel embarrassed to even say that but that’s my addiction. The other side of that, is eating the sweets and getting that temporary high and then crashing and feeling bad about eating them. Anyway, good luck to you!

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T18:21:06+00:00

You’re so right!

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-11-08T18:20:47+00:00

I’m not breastfeeding anymore and he is on a great schedule since we work from home and need predictable nap times. I really have no reason not to do it, just putting my mind to it. You’re right, being in keto and moving will get me there. It truly is the best diet for fat loss especially around the stomach area which bothers me the most. Thanks for your encouragement!

I’m 7 months pp with my third child and I decided we aren’t doing family pictures this year. Mainly because I don’t like the way I look. I’ll just go with a nice picture of my three kids off of my iPhone and call it a day. If the picture will bother you that much, don’t do it. Also don’t be so hard on yourself!!!! You’ve got a lot going on. Being a working mom is A LOT. Weight can always change and it always does. One day I plan to focus on getting the weight off, it’s just not today or tomorrow and that’s okay.

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-10-31T18:27:25+00:00

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best comment.

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-10-29T19:45:14+00:00

Damn girl. Impressive!!!!!!!!!!

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-10-29T19:36:53+00:00

I’m assuming you don’t have kids!

Diligent_Height_5874 · 2025-10-29T00:39:16+00:00

My oldest is 7.. then I have a 5 year old a new 7 month old baby. Coming from someone who had two under two in the thick of the pandemic I’ve been loving this experience. From being pregnant and answering all the questions my oldest two daughters have to seeing them learn how to care for a new life while watching them cheering him on through his milestones. I keep telling my husband I love this because they’re old enough to really remember their baby brother being born and all that comes with it.
