Hey everyone! Please cheer with me. I was given 4 beautiful treats today from a vendor at work. I brought them home for my son. They were screaming to me to eat them, but I said no. Then I went to a retirement party for a former coworker. I had Diet Coke (not the best choice) and a cheeseburger without the bun. I didn’t have any cake or any of the other junk or alcohol that others were consuming. And I talked low carb to a few people. That was cool. In my Facebook memories today, a photo came up from when I needed iron transfusions. I have had many doses of IV iron over the last 15 years. I was always promised that I would have more energy afterwards. I would get some, but not a lot. No one ever talked to me about the food I was eating. Now that I’m about 90% carnivore, I have a lot more energy and my iron levels are great. It’s hard to not look back at the past and wish I knew then what I know now. I just need to keep reminding myself hour buy hour how good I feel and that I’m improving my long term health one meal at a time.
