I'm Stuck

When I first started my diet almost 2 years ago, I ate 5 times a day and lost an average of 1 pound per week.  Now that I am on Keto, I find myself skipping snacks a lot.  I think I need to get back to eating 5 times a day because I've been stuck for weeks.  I also wonder how much muscle I have gained after working out at the gym for 14 months.  For Thanksgiving, I did cheat but not totally bad.  I usually buy an extra pumpkin pie for my house but I just had one piece on Thanksgiving night.  My first goal is my health.  I picked up a pair of shorts that I wore 2 summers ago yesterday and I am so glad to be almost 70 pounds lighter!

You are honestly doing great. But I find when stuck to change it up even if it’s going back to how you started or whatever. I don’t consider myself to have cheat days as I just eat better and allow things in moderation. But really I learned to appreciate the accomplishment even tho it’s a work in progress.

Thanks Serenity! After I posted, I weighed myself and I lost a pound! I have had celery with natural peanut butter the last two afternoons for a snack. I am out and about right now. I brought a snack with me! Also, I bought a Size smaller jeans on Sunday at Goodwill for $1 and they fit! My old jeans were almost falling off of me on Sunday! Good for you for sticking to what works for you!

Way to go Green!! Losing, even a little bit, gives us the drive needed to stick with it. I know I weighed myself yesterday and I had lost little more than a pound. So yay you!

Thanks precious! I'm debating on a snack right now. I had a really small dinner. I love frozen blueberries. I put them in the microwave for a minute and they come out great. Good for you for almost achieving losing a pound! It's better to lose slowly.

OMG, frozen blueberries in the microwave. Great idea. I usually buy fresh but they are lately soft and mushy. I make them with raspberries, mixed together in a bowl. I eat this as dessert. I am stuck and not losing weight and need to move more and eat fewer carbs. I can't not eat carbs as it upsets my intestines to not eat carbs and only eat more vegetable fiber. I have a weird digestive thing going on that causes pain. I have cut back on eating meat or chicken or turkey to mostly once per day. 5 days a week I am back to 2 vegan/vegetarian meals per day and one with animal protein.

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
