There’s a few sad and upsetting things going on in my inner circle at present. Usually I’m one to allow my mental health engulf me and pull me down. Being keto is seeming to keep me more relaxed and logical. Yes, I am struggling, but, I don’t feel as though I’m stuck or I need to hide away.
I think one of the aspects of the way of eating which is keeping me motivated is just this ⬆️ I’m seeing myself as a project. And because I’m seeing improvements from such a small amount of time, with my weight, energy, mental health… I’m actually enjoying this journey.
I’ve never enjoyed the actual action of dieting or ‘healthy living’. I’ve always enjoyed preparing for it: meal preparation, nutrition research, meal plans, but then I’ve always fallen for that chocolate or that bag of crisps. I don’t feel overly restricted with eating keto, and I’m actually getting full without eating carbs.
It’s still very early days to see as to whether this way of eating is helping my EDS etc. But just feeling brighter in myself should have a positive outcome.
So if you’re undecided as to whether to give it a go, be it for weight loss or health reasons, I’d say just go for it. It’s really not difficult and there’s so much support out there.
