Keto Week Two: Electric Boogaloo

-

Hi there all! This is my review for our Keto diet week two plus a few other things as well. So week two has been a bit more lax- instead of working to get exactly 50 grams of carbs per day I am getting on average somewhere between 50 to 75 grams per day- I have given myself this cushion to start with for a few reasons...1. it is easier on me mentally to have that few extra grams in the day depending on how I feel or what is going on in my life...2. I am slowly starting to incorporate weight training back into my workout routines and there are days where I need those extra few grams of carbs to do the kind of work or get the kind of recovery I need. Some people might think that this technically doesn't count as truly "Keto" but having never done this before, give me a break. LOL


As for my body changes- I am down 3 ish pounds in around two weeks ( started at 156, currently sitting around 153). I don't really think that Keto works that fast, it honestly has more to do with the reduction in caloric intake (carb dense foods tend to also be calorie dense foods), water weight changes, etc.


I am also still in therapy and I have hired a life coach as well- we are all working together to help me help myself into becoming the person I know I can be. Thanks for sticking with me and for all your support!

Anyone interested in seeing an Instagram story- a full day of eating?

Let me know!

Impostor Syndrome

"You are such an inspiration! " Sometimes I really feel like Supergirl- then I come back to reality. Lately, I have had a lot of conversations with people about my journey, about this blog, about all kinds of things- people keep telling me how inspiring I am. That is amazing, and most of the time I light up from the inside out because helping people feel better and do better and be better is part of my mission.  But then there are moments, some times whole days, where I don't feel very inspiring. I get a real case of impostor syndrome, which if you don't know is... a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud".  A little info-graphic never hurt no one... So yeah,  I get that feeling alot. Don't get me wrong if you find my story inspiring that is GREAT! Please tell me all about it. But also know that sometimes if I maybe don't look as con

Confronting Symptoms- a lesson I need to learn.

-
Hi there everyone! Welcome back to another edition of Julie fails at life or rather what I need to do to confront both the direct and indirect symptoms of my Eating Disorder.  So often I do feel like a complete failure when I have a bad day. Anyone else feel like that sometimes? Then once it is all over and I have worked myself up and lost all sense of control and eaten my feelings away or dissolved into a blubbering mess on the floor- I feel better. Its a constant struggle of feeling like you are hitting the emotional bottom and then bouncing straight back up. There is a sense of catharsis in letting it all out after being wound up and up and up all day only to explode into a mess of emotion and let it all go. I mean it works- but it isnt exactly practical. Having a melt down every so often, especially when you are under a lot of stress, just seems to get in the way. Then there comes the back lash you can get when you then feel weak, like you can not make it or you aren't stro
