So I’m probably within about 15-20 lbs to the finish line. Been doing keto Omad and it’s been working extremely well. Maybe it’s just my mom being my mom but when I am cooking a healthy low carb dinner or just talking about keto recipes or weight loss she starts saying “oh you don’t need to lose anymore weight” and “you’re gonna start looking unhealthy if you keep this up” “you’re already too skinny” - when the fact of the matter is I dress in baggy clothes to hide my mid profile because I’m insecure, but when I take off my Shirt it is VERY clear that I still have a a 1-2 month sprint to the finish line. I have flabby hips, my stomach hangs over my pants, a tiny bit of face weight to lose. Muffin top.
Anyways it frustrates me, because she’s implying in negative connotation that I look unhealthy.
But yet there’s all these skinny people with flat stomachs, regular size hips, no muffin top, skinny face, and it’s not like she or anyone else is about to walk up to them and call them unhealthy.
Also I’ve lost weight before and gotten skinny around 6 years ago to the point of a flat stomach, I was finally happy with the way I looked in the mirror and my brother starts telling me I look like a skeleton, cousin tells me I look like a crackhead. (A few years later I had gained the weight back)
I want to be clear that I am very aware of what too skinny is, it’s not like my rib cage was showing I just had barely any fat on me, I thought I looked good. I was just thin, so it felt like the last time I did this that there was no winning. When I had talked to guys that I was interested in though they would describe me as normal looking and some would say that I was actually super hot xD
Also I know some people might think because I’m on keto omad that might be a bad thing, for one people might think it’s borderline starving yourself but it’s not, my body has adjusted and I eat smack dab in the middle of the day so I’m kept satisfied at night and I’m not all that hungry in the morning. For two people might think it’s an unsustainable diet, but I still have cheat days and I treat myself, I don’t want to get rid of carbs but I keep them to as minimal as possible and when I want a burger and some cider on an odd day I do it. And when I reach my goal weight I plan on maintaining, and balancing things.
Anyways does anyone else relate to this? Feels frustrating like I can’t win and I’m actively being discouraged to do what had taken a lot of courage and strength to stick with, and I know my body.
Much love - cleey
