Big Girl Small Problems

Hey, there friend, you, the one reading this. I am a normal 29-year-old woman. I have a masters degree, a steady job, I own my own home, I blog and podcast, I read, I have a cat, I love Netflix, I am single, I am... Plus sized. Sometimes with weight loss journeys, we have our ups and downs, well I want to tell you something... I was doing really great with Keto, got off of it for a bit, and now I am up a few pounds.

Let's just say that if I wanted to eat cardboard, I would just eat the Amazon Prime box that is in my living room from my last purchase. Since then I was off a diet - gained a lot of weight (sadly over 300 pounds) and then I went on Weight Watchers... again. They are like the ex-boyfriend I just cannot get over! I wasn't doing so well with them. So last week I decided I needed a boost... and EVERYONE that I know is pretty much doing it - so I thought that I would do Keto Die t just like most everyone is doing. You can do this without paying for it on the WebSite, I just used their shopping
