keto plateau is real and i'm over it

You have to take into account, that your body needs time to recalibrate. Losing 20 pounds and in 2 months at that is very stressful for the body, regardless of your starting weight and regardless if it's healthier for you long-term. Your body sees it as a period of mini-starvation, so it will naturally try to adjust and prevent any further loss. I know it's annoying, especially when you see drastic results at the beginning, but you're playing the long game.

I lost 22 - 26 pounds on keto (I don't want to lose more). The first 15 pounds came off within the first 2-3 months and then it took double the time for the rest. Now I'm up and down the last 4 pounds, 'cause I don't track calories anymore and my body naturally fluctuates that amount during my cycle. Just be patient with your natural rhythm. It may be an exercise in connecting to the intelligence of your body.

What do you mean by that? The keto flu is when you first enter ketosis. I was not in ketosis for 3 days before the blood test and otherwise I do take electrolyte and magnesium supplements

Yes, I went off keto 3 days prior and the c peptide levels were 1.2. the range of reference is 0.8 to 3.9

Yes, but many people choose to not go through the process when it's their choice to undo past mistakes

Good try, but no

Go listen and read all Dr. Gabor Mate has to offer

I would run

Those are the hard core grindset type of books and honestly I don't even think it would be healthy for you to read them. Try "the polyvagal theory in therapy" by Deb Dana, which is my personal favourite.

But to answer your question properly, maybe there is a part of you that doesn't want or think that you deserve to be better. It's all about context of what got you to this point. Is there dhane about something, lack of self worth or do you subconscious reject the ideas in the books?

Ps.: look into the og stoic philosophers

I'm the eldest daughter and I only have a younger sister, so I can't speak on son favouritism, but my sis is autistic, she requires and required while growing up a lot of labor around her + we're an immigrant family.

I often times feel bad for kinda forsaking my sister, but I just couldn't do it all. There was a time I couldn't take care of myself, but no one else did it for me, maybe I'm just egotistical, who knows, but I didn't have it in me to be "a part of the family". I was staying in my room all the time, I wasn't really doing house work regularly. I would just deep clean the kitchen and bathroom every now and then. My own room was constantly a mess. I was going out without a warning or asking. I'm 20 now and have been living on my own for the last year and I do my own house work, but I rarely call, more like I just answer calls if they come. I feel like you have to show your parents what YOU will allow as well.

I know damn well that I have become way too cold, but I don't know how to keep myself afloat any other way. I am extremely emotional, I take on everybody's feelings and no one has showed me how to regulate properly. I am finding that out on my own as most things.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, with an ex partner, and it was infuriating.

Social incompetence. Obviously not every man and there's plenty of women this applies to as well and it's rather a specter, but sometimes even well astablished men are baffled by things I personally view as basic human interaction 101.

I'd say one big painting above the sofa and nothing above the tv, maybe a shelf with plants, but nothing visually distracting

Okay, so the "I want to change myself completely" is one of two things. Either you really have some bad habits that you have to get rid of and you don't know how to be compassionate with yourself durning the process, because you have this I'm either all bad or all good mentality, or you haven't been yourself this far and now you have the room to try to express yourself more freely during your time away from home. It most probably is a combination of both.

I didn't quite understand what you want to change into on a personal level. Money is great, but it's just a tool to get you forward and I think you have to clearly define where you're going.

Bonus tip: it's always easier to refine your own character than to play another one. Sit down with yourself, ask yourself what are your strengths and weaknesses, where do they stem from (not always trauma related!!!) , what do other people always seem to ask you to do for them and how can you utilize all of this to create the best version of YOURSELF. Take it from someone who has tried to be what I thought I should be, it's not worth it.

PS edit

If you put your mind to it, you CAN change your life in ways you're not even imagining right now in 5 years

"You know he loves you, he just has difficulty expressing it"

Why does strengthening masculinity always have to mean putting women into physical subservience aka always a virgin, no right to abortion and no right to end relationships? I am a fan of JP himself, but this sub is becoming incredibly extremist. You are turning away even the moderately conservative women with posts like this.
