So recently I've noticed a lot of the comments I make on my social media accounts have been attracting a lot of argumentive negative people. Normally, the trend would make me think that I'm posting negative comments but I literally posted a wholesome comment on a woman's weight loss of 300 pounds(? I feel like... Continue Reading →
Pork Rinds and Maltodextrin
This past weekend I tried a new brand of Pork Rinds, for some reason I couldn't handle eating pork rinds before. I can't handle the texture and knowledge of a pork rind. I'm kind of shocked I'm not a vegetarian sometimes. And this past weekend I bought some pork rinds that had sea salt and... Continue Reading →
Treats, Cheats, and Temptations
I recently had an epiphany about how a lot of foods that processed are meant to have additives that make you want more. And whenever I’m craving those foods I remind myself that am I actually wanting the food or the additives. This mentality has helped me stay away from foods that I deem hurtful... Continue Reading →
Small Victories
I believe that when you are losing weight then you need to really appreciate the small victories. It's almost like small positive reinforcement. So I wanted to take the time to acknowledge them. I've been losing weight consistently and with thyroid issues I think that's just the greatest feeling ever. I'm losing fat in the... Continue Reading →

Count calories. Wait, wait...hear me out. I follow a very lazy version of the keto diet. I... Continue Reading →
I’ve Been Too Relaxed
So I have a goal weight I want to reach this month, its completely realistic also. It will also be a new weight since pre-thyroiditis. I am very excited to reach it and honestly see no reason I couldn't. Unless I started to eat an only-carb diet which definitely will not happen. I have the... Continue Reading →

The green highlight is when I started the keto diet again. And the yellow highlight was when I added... Continue Reading →
Weightloss with Calibrate and Keto
Six months ago; I started my calibrate weight loss program. I was on Mounjaro from October to January and for the past month, I've only been on the Keto diet attached to their triangle (basically I don't eat as much processed foods). I hit my second goal weight of 10%! To be honest this has... Continue Reading →
First Week Back at Keto Diet – Following my Triangle and Goals
For the past week I've been doing the keto diet and it's been the easiest I've ever done. To be honest I haven't even wanted to cheat once. I did go almost six days with soda and even when I had it again it didn't taste as good as normal. So what's been different? I... Continue Reading →
