Stop the Cycle Madness

I have been over weight my entire life. Lost 70 # on Atkins in 1973. Got married in 1975 had baby in Jan 1980. Had gastric bypass 11/1982 at 315#. Dropped to 200 #. 3 yrs later gained to 298. Did Atkins dropped to 165. Maintained there2 yrs lost my job went to college gained up to 275 by the end of nursing school. From 1995 to 2012 I lost and gained 40 then 50 then70 pounds. I lost another 100 pounds in 2012 and gained from 175 to 200 over the next 2 years.
Dec 24 2014 I got a call from my son saying he had just received the diagnosis of lymphoma over the phone and what was it. My husband came home from work and we left for California. As he battle an aggressive non small cell lung cancer (stage 4) my weight went higher and higher. Between 3 months in the hospital 4 weeks of it in a coma on a vent, comforting my 4 young granddaughters and rotating ICU shifts with my husband and daughter in law my weight ballooned. I tipped the scales at 285 1 year later when he died at the age of 35.
I came out of my fog just as Covid hit in 2020. I knew at 67 I needed to get healthy and enjoy my granddaughters as they were growing up.
I started Atkins again in Sept 2020 with very poor results. I discovered Dr Boz the first of Nov and started my journey into Keto. I studied as hard as I had in nursing school and made the decision to STOP the cycle madness of gaining and losing.
It is now the first week of March and after losing 55 pounds I find my mind wandering. I have missed tribe meetings and ate later than normal. I am rewatching KC segments to make sure I don\’t start sliding out of control. Thank you Dr Boz for teaching the way you do. I am determined to get the next 65 pounds off and not waste the precious few years I have left.
