I agree with the exercise thing! I just started again. I've, just now, come home from a decent walk, up and down hills. I plan to get back to the gym I keep paying for, very soon. I just wanted to shed enough that I feel loads better out in public again. I'm getting there. I don't get hungry very often and can fast for many hours without hunger, so that is something I am enjoying, because I know it's not hurting me, not like my old "fasting" habits that got me so b12 deficient I went psychotic.I did the " keto" and lost 10 lbs but I don't have much to lose. I need to get back on my treadmill. ( haven't yet.. Because I got burnt out) but will.
Congrats on finding a diet that works for u! That's* marvelous! A good friend friend of mine's son went from 397 to 232 on Keto. The important thing Keto taught me was that I obviously wasn't eating enough protein but soon you'll have to incorporate exercise with this diet. I know that I have to! Grrrrrrrr?!
But I was like u ( I stayed 20 pounds over my limit and always felt mopey) turns out my thyroid was beyond bad so I thought things would pick up from there but they didn't. Carbs make me feel like s@it! So I outed them anyway. My body never liked too much fruit.. And I love veggies!!!
I also love my veggies and have never been a big fruit eater. I had a small amount of stewed fruit and yoghurt this morning and I must say, because of eating fruit so sparingly, I really enjoy it when I do.I did the " keto" and lost 10 lbs but I don't have much to lose. I need to get back on my treadmill. ( haven't yet.. Because I got burnt out) but will.

It's been a long struggle, encompassing about 34 years.
First it was being obsessed with becoming anorexic. I WANTED to be anorexic, to show my mother how badly her treatment of me was hurting me.
Then I gained weight after she "boarded me out" to strangers, a Scottish family, at 13, and their food was not what I was used to and I got chubby. I panicked and started deliberately avoiding meals and being obsessed with looking like the models in Dolly magazine (this was back.in.the early 80's).
I did develop an anorexic type ED and became very ill with B12 deficiency and anaemia, which lead to psychosis as my brain "started to dissolve" in my late 20's.
I stopped deliberately avoiding food in my early thirties, this was after all my 7-children were born and I was tired of having no boobs, yes, that's how bonkers I was. I was breastfeeding and malnourished for years. Keep in mind, I have Autism (high functioning) and CPTSD. I was also being abused by the father of my chsren throughout my childbearing years.
After my last baby I resolved NOT to miss as many meals as I could, and I went the other extreme. I struggled with putting on too much weight. My weight yoyoed until more trauma and acute stress and my 40's hit, and I became more and more overweight, until I nearly became diabetic (I was classified as pre-diabetic) following a miscarriage and subsequent further spiking in weight gain.
I am now 46, and have embarked on a ketonic diet, after numerous attempts and three miscarriages in the last few years (different and very loving father, my current partner)
No more bingeing or urge to binge, no more missing too many meals.
I have been on this diet for two weeks and my weight has plummeted from at its highest 87.8kg, down to 80.7kg, at the start of this latest restricted diet, at the beginning of March, to now 76.7kg, currently.
My aim is to reach at least 65kg, aiming for that to happen by around the end of April.
I will keep you posted.
There you go. . Keto makes you look differently at carbs. Good for you!Any carbs like pasta or bread I am.managing to have in small amounts. Also any sweeter I have is not refined sugar, I use coconut sugar, honey or unrefined, dehydrated sugar cane juice. I only have this in a daily coffee or tea, occasionally 1 extra of the two.
