#NewMe23 I read “are you hungry, the 6 defenses” and realized that with Awareness that I have been blindly following diet after diet after diet that someone else crafted. I don’t know how many times I’ve attempted to replicate someone else’s success: “I went keto and lost 50 lbs in 5 minutes” or “I stopped eating breakfast and my A1c went from 13 to 5.6 in one week.” I mean REALLY??? After gaining 4 lbs over the holiday season I went carnivore only to gain another 3 lbs and just craved stuff I knew I couldn’t have, like celery! Stupid! I have become aware that I need to do what works for me; a 5 foot tall, 64 year old post menopausal woman who has a messed up metabolism from dieting her whole life. So my word for this season is ‘Personalization.’ I will strive to give myself some grace on this journey to find out what works for my body and my hormones and my desires and my lifestyle.
