I got back on my diet! And I think most of my die-off symptoms are behind me. This winter dry air and low pressure systems are messing with my head, but I feel good overall.
How was everyone's holiday? I forgot to eat lunch Christmas Eve and got hangry for the first time in a long time. My mom gets really stressed out hosting family over the holidays, so she wasn't very understanding BUT she did feed me well after that little tussle was over. There was so much good, SCD legal food around that I gave away my "emergency" snacks to my uncle who is experimenting with a new WOE. He's dropped 30# recently, too! He's simply avoiding sugar and says giving up soda was the biggest factor in his weight loss. I'm pretty proud of him for taking control of his health.
My aunt (not his wife, another aunt) is on the ketogenic diet, but she threw it out the window on Christmas. It just goes to show everyone has different levels of dedication. Progress isn't linear, and I hope in time she learns the dedication she needs to be successful. (She is pre-diabetic and obese, so her diet is for health and not vanity.)
By biggest challenge lately is knowing when to pass on the wine and whisky. They're legal on my diet IN MODERATION, but I definitely over-indulged earlier this week, and this weekend will pose another challenge with NYE and friends visiting from out of town.
I'll check back with y'all next year. May 2018 bring you much joy, laughter, warmth, belonging, and love. Oh, and tasty, nutritious food choices. ;)
