One positive change I’ve made in my life

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.” William Arthur Ward

I can’t believe it’s almost been 8 years since I started my journey of Keto, low carb, alternate day fasting extended fasting and now recently adding in the Lumen device: which early stages appear to assist with managing and viewing my metabolic flexibility.

I will never be more thankful or grateful for the words of the famous #DrFung and the article that I read at work that one fine day in Toronto… A captivating article that 100% drew me in “Dr. In Toronto finds cure for obesity “; which of course led me to the first book that he wrote which was “#theobesitycode”; a game changer for me, the book that saved my life, the doctor that saved my life.

I can’t even say enough about how thrilled I am and how at times I still can’t believe that this actually happened…. What is that? Well it is extreme weight loss and maintenance that’s what it is!

Basically what I also believe is that this whole thing was a wee miracle being gifted to me after a prayer to ask for help with finding a cure for weight loss and health management. For those of you that keep a prayer journal then maybe you’ve heard of this sort of thing before. But this was my first experience and my first request in my prayer journal was to help me find a cure for my

Can’t believe it’s almost been 8 years since I began this journey; my prayers answered just one week after I penciled it into my prayers journal.

This past year I put on a few pounds and now “unfortunately” I am still am struggling with a gain that has gradually reached a point of a full 20 lb but by bit adding since July 2023.

As a post menopausal over 55 female, I’m disappointed yet proud of myself to maintain at 158 lb loss and as disappointed as this 20lb gain is, I can still be proud of myself and should be still proud of myself. Yet there’s days that I’m beating myself up and saying the most terrible things about myself that I would not say to anybody else ever. So here’s some self-love and acknowledgment :).

Way to go!!! What you have done is no less than an absolutely, amazing accomplishment! With just some small direction from Dr. Fung’s amazing clinician Megan #meganramos, you manage this and did it all on your own. You just followed some guidelines and online groups ..you didn’t do what they told you to do ( the medical community ) which was to get a surgery for big gals like you…no I knew there had to be something else. I’m so damn proud of myself!
