So before I get into my doom and gloom I just wanted to say that day one of Keto Reset has actually been better than expected, I can tell my mental preparation along with my time preparation has helped immensely. This morning for breakfast I had spinach, two eggs, two slices of nitrate free bacon and half an avo and for lunch I had a chicken salad… surprisingly I am full and don’t think I will need dinner until about 6pm when usually I am a starving Sally at 5pm.
So.. the doom and gloom (I am being slightly dramatic)
Today was weigh in day for me along with my measurements… and what a shock it was. I have put on 20kg in the past 6 months and I have no one to blame for that but myself, it was a shock though and it did make me quite upset. I was not expecting it at all and maybe thought I had put on about 5kg, boy was I wrong! Although I spent about half an hour laying in bed being dramatic it did give me time to think, I realised that this is literally the moment where I turn my life around both for mental and physical health.
I am morbidly obese and have everything to show for it, I struggle to buy clothes that fit me and I always have to shop in the ‘fat’ section of major department stores. This makes me feel shit everytime I visit these stores as I see the quality of fashion in the ‘normal’ section and then get dumped with some pretty average looking clothes. I do consider myself to enjoy looking trendy and modern but I am very limited with what I can buy. I look forward to the day I can walk into any store and they will have my size.
So you are probably wondering how much, I was not sure if I wanted to share but I think it will help me become accountable. So I weighed in today at 172.1kg/379lbs (ugh) it is by far the heaviest I have ever been, the last time I lost weight I weighed 155kg if I remember correctly… BUT I am positive now and I have some goals to work towards, I am off to Bali in 44 days so that is most definitely an encouragement.

How tall are you Jesse? Inspiring read, thank you xx
183cm/6″ 🙂
Thanks for sharing hun. Do you gym too? I’ve put on a crap tonne of weight (I’m like 83 or something) and supposedly should be 55 according to a bmi LOL! Have started doing no sugar or milk in coffee, and eating good bread if I have it, with cholesterol lowering spread- I have a bike- zumba on the ole xbox 360 and I’m a stay home mum/student. I should be doing so much more. I still smoke but am on patches, don’t drink. I can’t fit ANYTHING but I’m not going to be hard on myself. I’ve had two kids- but… BUT I want to be around for them. I have a sneaky suspicion I have really high cholesterol and diabetes type 2- but we can do this. Walk- bike- push through uncomfortable. I HATE getting hot and bothered but it’s the best thing for me. Why can’t it be easy! Lol. Xoxo
The program I am on with Keto Reset recommend’s no fitness for the first couple of weeks, this is because the shock to your system is so big (I am not complaining to be honest haha). Yeah unfortunately eating well and exercising are not easy things to do, otherwise we would all look like the way we want too. Good luck with your journey 🙂
