<human>: This story starts with a visit to the doctor, i had some complaints about my Aunt Flo (TMI) and some major major weight gain, to say i was a blubbering mess doesn't even begin to describe how i behaved at that appointment. My doctor was sympathetic but ultimately unhelpful, told me to significantly lower my caloric intake, even though i was already eating 2 small meals a day, he also weighed me just for the record and i was a whopping 100kg (220lbs). Couple of months went by and I thought lowering my calories wasnt the way to go, i had a realisation that about 90% of my diet was made up of carbs (bread,pasta,rice), so i had a little read of r/keto and decided to lower my carbs, did this for a while and i felt like i was getting nowhere. i even told my sister that i felt like i was putting in some much work and getting nothing in return! Yesterday i went to my local chemist just to see how fat i still was, so i weighed myself and the machine said 89kg (196lbs), thought "that cant be right?!?", weighed myself again 196!! Gave me such a boost to know that something is actually happening, gave me the motivation to keep going.
