Important! Please Read!
I totally changed my mind about weighing myself on the first of the year. I know I’m not losing weight, and there is not one ounce of me that wants to feel disappointed by that. Old habits die hard, and that scale is a bad habit! I’m perfectly fine if I never lose weight. Really, I am.
Would it be nice to lose enough weight to go on a roller coaster again? Yes, that would be super fun. But it’s not as fun as feeling good. I actually feel like I’m living now instead of merely existing. I’m trying hard to enjoy my life and I don’t want my success be determined by a number on a scale. You know what I mean, jelly bean?
The only reason I even considered weighing myself like a sideshow attraction is because so many people automatically assume I’m eating this way to lose weight. And many people (most, even) do lose weight eating this way. But it’s slow going because it takes a long time for the body to readjust to what it was meant to eat in the first place. Meat (or so I believe, ’cause I’m such a meathead!)
This is not a quick fix for obesity. But for many, including myself, it can be a quick fix for mental health issues including depression and crippling anxiety, not to mention inflammation, joint pain, migraines, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and soooooo much more. And let’s not forget one of the most important things… complete loss of cravings! Meat really is a magic pill.
I’m at a point in my life where I’m finally happy being exactly who I am weight wise. Why on earth should I even think that my size needs to be changed? I’m perfect! As is! You’re perfect! As is! Okay, maybe perfect is too strong of a word because NO ONE is actually any form of perfection, at least the kind of perfect we have in our minds. But we really are worthy of loving ourselves exactly as we are. Aren’t we? I AM!
So I’m ditching the scale and NOT caring about a number makes me feel even more successful, more free! I love being free to be me! I know many will still think my focus should be on weight loss because we are trained to think obesity equals bad health, but like I’ve said before, I’m going to die no matter what. Even “healthy” people die! I’m determined to live the best life I can live before death happens.
Yesterday – Friday 12/23 – Day 37
I had my usual cup of coffee with hwc when I got up.
At 1:00pm, I ate the vision of beauty that is pictured above. Okay, I know many think it’s gross, but it’s beautiful to me because it’s how I fuel my body, so I look at it through loving eyes! I had a nice mix of meat in there and they are listed below. I ate almost all that you see on that plate.
NOTE: You do not have to eat a variety of meat when you eat this way. Seems like the majority of zero carbers animal kingdom only favor beef, as I do. But I also enjoy variety. And remember, no measuring, no counting calories, so holding back. You eat until you’re satisfied!
At 4:00pm, I had a decafe with HWC.
At 7:00pm, I ate some deli meat until I was satisfied.
At 10:00pm, I ate more of the meat mix that you see above. I ate it cold this time.
At 2:00am, I got hungry again (did a ton of sewing yesterday and was up very late) so I ate more deli meat and had a swig of cream and finally went to bed.
Food that entered my mouth yesterday: ground beef, hot sausage, sliced beef, bacon, pork tenderloin, deli roast beef, deli turkey breast, butter, light cream, heavy whipping cream, coffee, salt, pepper, lots of water.

This is the article that I stumbled upon by Kelly Hogan which got me immensely excited. And this is Kelly’s blog.
PLEASE READ: Please remember that it’s MY CHOICE to eat the way I want. If you think this is unhealthy, know I’m not as concerned with physical health. I’m more concerned with my mental health. I’m on a mission to feel better mentally… without cravings!!! I’m willing to test this so you don’t have to! But what works for me might not work for you. I’m not doing this to lose weight. I’m doing this because I’m convinced that I’m overly sensitive to carbs and that I must stay away from them if there is any chance of me feeling better. I’m eating from the animal kingdom only, like the complete opposite of vegan. I know this upsets many, but I promise I won’t eat your pets. You are free to follow my progress/failures and you can even disagree with what I do. Just remember that I will get the last word because it’s my blog, my channel, my life! That’s the new me talking! (I think I’m growing balls! Let me look… yes, I see one starting to grow!)
