Two years on 9/18/23 was my low-carb anniversary day and I am so proud of myself. Was I perfect? No. Did I learn to show myself grace? Yes. Do I still have moment zeros leading to moment ones? Yes. Yes. Yes. Was … I … perfect? Nooooooo. Did I kick those moment zeros in the fricking butt and bounce back with moment one? Heck ya! Does it get easier every time? Yes. Do I still have psoriasis? Yes. But, not the “ya, try sleeping psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.” (Which was absolutely two hours a night of miserable sleep.) I still have spots. Just spots and have decided my psoriasis is more blessing than a curse. My body literally yells at me when I consume foods it does not like. Yes, that is a blessing. Doing super well … add in lemon flavored collagen for afternoon tea (unflavored collagen I do just fine). Nothing else changed. Bam — psoriasis on my scalp explodes. Sooooo, no more of that. Definitely a blessing. Listen to my body … it will speak to me. Two years … 85 lbs obliterated and definitely gained muscle mass in the process. Thank you, Tro community. Thank you for your support, your love, your attagirls, your YOU CAN DO THIS!! It means the world to me. WE CAN DO THIS!!
