I don’t like to think about before, because for almost a decade I was obese. It made me sad to be that way, and I tried to hide from the world.
Spring 2003 I started Atkins. I began eating meat just to go on the diet. I remember the first morning waking up and praying to God for His help. I was such a mess (binge-eating and carb addiction) that I knew I could not do it on my own. The two-week induction phase delivered results and motivated me. I started walking on a treadmill. It took almost three years to lose 70lbs.
I have kept most of it off, and my diet evolved into eating mostly real foods using LCHF as a template. I have found this is best for me to keep a healthy weight.
If you see me not eating, it is not because I don’t eat. It is not because I don’t like your cooking or don’t want to celebrate your birthday. I eat plenty of meat, cheese, vegetables, nuts, fats, and dark chocolate. I have to be careful with what I eat, because I don’t want to be that sad person hiding again.
