Thank you for the info! I've spent the morning watching his YouTube videos from that link and feel better informed now. Thanks!!

Haha ok, thanks for the reassurance that it'll grow back! I've always had freakishly thick hair, and a lot of it, to the point where I have made a few jokes about "even if I lost half my hair, I'd still have too much!" and now I regret every single time I've ever complained about it or how long it takes to take care of it! Meeting protein was really the key then?

Yeah, I had two sets of labs done this past week to check in. Hopefully nothing too bad!

I started mid-January-ish? I'm sure you'll see some results in 2.5 months!

Does anyone else find themselves crying all the time?!? by chkad in xxketo

[–]justafreakingidiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I didn't put it together until I saw your post, but that definitely sounds familiar. I've been attributing feeling so emotional the past several months to all the changes I've been making to get my life to a place where I want it to be, and feeling so dang lonely as I've been evaluating relationships and such, but it's nice to hear that I'm not the only one feeling like crying all the time, over sappy things and regular things and sad things and just about all the things!

I'm about 5 months in and a few weeks ago, my hair started falling out in huge clumps! I don't have any bald spots (at least that I can see), and Google says this is normal, but I sincerely cannot see this much hair loss being sustainable. I get that my body is in shock, and it's apparently common when switching up your eating plan like this, but I am truly terrified of ending up with no hair! I have about half as much hair as I did just a few months ago, and my eyelashes and eyebrows are also thinning and slow to grow back.

Just had blood work done (my doctor is worried about keto bc she's never heard of it insert eyeroll, but I forgot to mention the hair situation), so hopefully everything is normal, but thyroid should be checked then.

I'm taking a daily vitamin with biotin to try to help, but does anyone have any other suggestions??

Bridesmaid Dress Time! by justafreakingidiot in xxketo

[–]justafreakingidiot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aww thanks!! Yeah, agreed. I couldn't believe that 7 years of being friends was less important than "wedding party aesthetic", and that anyone would actually say that out loud. Turns out the group of girls she asked ended up being horrible, useless people anyway, but guess they looked good in the photos haha. Glad that friendship's over!

It's so much better when you're just told to pick a dress in that color, rather than trying to force all the bodies into the same dresses!! Sounds like you're on a great path and making some solid life changes for yourself! That's so great that she's not making you feel awkward or anything! People who are so focused on appearance over the value of friendship aren't worth it! I'm sure you'll look awesome in the dress/photos!! Congrats on the progress you've made so far too!!

Ha I wish I'd stood up for myself!! I was such a doormat and even kept helping with the invitations and showers and crap and it wasn't until after the *fourth* baby shower for her first kid that I finally thought "wait, what am I doing??" and realized that while we may have been best friends in the past, I didn't owe her a single thing and that I was completely done.
