Ketogenic Macros and More!

It seems like my weight is a never ending battle!  But I really don't think it has to be! 

My weight is so hard to come off-  Yes I am a stress eater, Yes I realize I run to food out of boredom, loneliness, excitement, sheer comfort for anything!  I did a Bible Study regarding how my view of food is- and the Holy Spirit convicted me that I was letting that fill a spot in my heart that really only He wants to fill-  Even if I didn't agree with EVERYTHING in the Bible Study- I did realize I was using food to fill the empty spot- so guess, what... I notice it, and have repented to God for letting something -  as stupid as food fill such intimate places that only God should fill-  Food was my go to- but Thank you Jesus for helping me with that- I will probably always have to ask myself why I am eating, what is the reasons for it?  but... at least it will be for the right reasons now!~

It is February 1, 2017 as I am writing this now.  In October of 2016 I did a round of HCG and lost 18 pounds-  Just for 8 of it to come right back on as soon as I entered into the 3rd phase of it... I didn't add sugar/starch/grains- Started at 260 lost down to 241.6: but the weight came back none the less....  So I relaxed through December (thankfully not gaining anything from it!)-  On December 29, 2017- I decided I would try the Ketogenic Way of Eating. I started with a weight of 250:  I joined a support group on Facebook that gave support and advice-  What I have come to find out is there are several different ways to do Keto-  You can do High Fat version or Higher Protein Version-  I did the Higher Protein version at first- but nothing was moving!  NOTHING!  So I thought I would try the higher fat version- and the scales started to move a little-- but not more than 7 or 8 pounds-  and I have been volleying back and forth between 242-247 since then!

I am trying to figure things out... of why I am not loosing... I am tracking my macros- I am not cheating AT ALL- No sugar, no grains, or starches have passed these lips!  However some have reported that dairy is a real hinderance for them... so I am going to test that theory-  It does seem if I have a ton of cheese- which is easy to do on a Keto lifestyle- then I gain some... SO... for the month of February, 2107- I will cut dairy out! I will increase my water intake- I will add exercise to my routine for this month-  My weight this morning was 242.6-  I will not weigh everyday ----  ooooo that's a hard one! Let me just say I will weigh less...  maybe try to cut it to once a week!  This one I am finding hard to commit to-  why? because the scale tells me if I am doing good or bad...  but just for the purpose of accountability- I will TRY not to weigh! I want to see if I can make it till the end of the month without weighing.... so here we go!!!!  I also want to stoop looking at Facebook- the food ideas and etcetera only make me want things I cannot have (Not the crazy stupid recipes on my normal FB feed- but the Ketofied Foods as well.... I will do Google searches for Dairy free options as needed- but I will try to just do what I know to do with food we normally eat! But if needed I will do a simple google search- 

There you have it!  Let's see where I am 28 days from now! Dream Goals: 

I hope my weight will be around 218-225

I hope I stick to what I say I will do!  

If my weight drops like this I will not add dairy back in until I reach my happy weight!  My ultimate goal is to reach 147!  However, I know I feel amazing at 185-190--- so even getting there will be a game changer for me!  But I really want to press through-  I am not trying to share my struggles and ideas and thoughts about this to anyone-- this is for me-  not for anyone-  and everyone has an opinion- I am seeking God for the direction I need to go and listening for His voice in all of this.....

Here we go... AGAIN!
