I don't have many people to celebrate this with

Hi guys,

This is my first time posting here, but around Mid-January this year I decided start a keto diet. I've heard on a lot of different podcasts that it might be a good way to lose weight and at the time, I was 386 pounds. I wanted to do anything possible to stop myself from reaching 400 pounds. So I started it thinking it would be fun to see if the claims of higher energy levels and weight loss were true if I kept this diet going for two weeks. So I did it for 4 days, and let me tell you those were some of the hardest days of my life. I had a friend who is pretty healthy and did this diet intermittently and he told me it would take around a month to really feel the effects. As soon as I heard that, I thought it would be impossible for me to keep it up for that long. It would effectively stop me from going to fast food restaurants, eating ice cream, and having pizza. Knowing that eating one single thing that has too many carbs could completely erase all my hard work of staying in ketosis made me keep going longer than what i thought possible. Then, I started realizing that I was dropping weight really fast. Fast forward to now, I'm still on the diet and I weigh 319 pounds. I haven't been that weight in over 3 years. I'm really proud of myself now and I would love to tell all my friends, but I haven't ever really talked to them about my weight and I'm still embarrassed to talk about weight. I'm also in quarantine right now so it's hard to even see my friends. But I wanted to share this news with someone, and maybe one of you guys will be inspired to keep going and lose weight too!
