RE: Happy Anniversary to Me – Eight Years After Losing “Half My Size”

in #esteem5 years ago

wow @fitinfun, iv heard and in fact experienced this myself, seeing a picture of youself when you don't for a split second recognise the person and then it hits you 'its me'... its spurs you on to do something, ... youve seen yourself as others would see you... i started doing the OMAD and losing the carbs and my weight fell away, (not as dramatically as yours), .. but people although commenting on my weight loss were also in the same breath asking me if 'if my health was OK'...... well done you look amazing. :-) , ... any particular eating regime ?

Sort:  

I have auto-immune disease, so I eat low carb, high fat, high protein, high veg, bone broth, organ meat, and that seems to be best for me now, @goblinknackers. I'm in SE Asia, so the rice is ever-present, but I try to keep it to a dull roar.

The most important thing I do is avoid additives such as colors, flavors, pesticides, gmos, etc etc. This is much easier here than when I was in California. Getting off the chemicals really worked for me and the low carb is more for the disease. If I start eating them, I can tell in pain levels and joint swelling. I also use a ton of turmeric now and notice if I run out.

It is really a strange feeling when people think you are sick after you lose weight. I started to wonder if maybe I was!

Thank you so much for the compliments and your vote. I really appreciate both.
