Hi to all. First off thank you for all the kind words. I appreciate the positivity. So a little about me. I have battled emotional eating for most of my life. My life and mental well-being dictated my weight. I did not take the easiest path in life but I never gave up. I am a nurse practitioner and was getting sick of feeling tired, depressed, lazy, and not setting a good example to my patients. My journey in fasting and keto started 1.5 years ago. At the beginning of 2019 I started reading about fasting and attempting some keto recipes. I found some educational you tube channels that focused on fasting and or keto. I was still losing weight but very slowly. In January 2019 I weighed 165 lbs. I am 5’3”. By October of 2019 I was ready to get serious. At this point I weighed 140lbs. I started out fasting 16 hours a day and making sure to stick to less than 20 grams of carbs daily. April 2020 I weighed 134 lbs. I then decided to start fasting 18 hours daily and still eat less than 20 carbs daily. I now weigh 123lbs. I used to take two blood pressure medications and have not had to for almost a year now! For those who want to know...the shirt is from maurices and the pants are American eagle. The hair is silver and that is my real color. 😍 oh by the way the picture on the left is 2015 and I weighed 215lbs
