Introduction
Veronika_Sometimes' weight loss journey has touched many people, as evidenced by the 672 upvotes and supportive comments on her Reddit post. Her journey is one of perseverance, self-love, and finding balance through keto and intermittent fasting (IF).
From "comfortable" to uncomfortable
Veronika loved her super fat body and her sense of style at that weight. However, as she approached her 50s, she realized that her weight was tied to her past and that she needed to deal with it. Her parents' unhealthy relationship with food, coupled with the sexual trauma she experienced, were things that she had to confront head-on. She realized that being comfortable at her weight was a facade, and in fact, it was holding her back from enjoying life to the fullest.
Keto, IF, and emotional healing
Veronika found that going low-carb was a great start. She decided to try it for a month, and when she felt great, she kept going. She then tried IF, which helped her heal her relationship with food. Veronika realized that food no longer had control over her, and that she could take one bite of a former favorite food and be satisfied. She believes that IF was instrumental in helping her overcome an eating disorder. Her emotional healing also involved journaling, therapy, and dealing with the issues that she had pushed down for years.
Dealing with a new body
Veronika found that dealing with a new body was the most difficult aspect of her weight loss journey. She loved her super fat body and thought she was sexy. Now, she tries to take nude photos of herself, and she doesn't recognize that woman. She misses her boobs, and she tells herself that her current body is temporary. She also focuses on treating her body with love and kindness, pampering herself, lifting weights, and calling her body every day for all it does for her. She intends to get extra skin removed and get new boobs next year.
Conclusion
Veronika's weight loss journey is a great example of perseverance and finding balance. She has come to terms with her past, healed her relationship with food, and found a way to love herself at every stage of her journey. Her story shows that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to weight loss or emotional healing. However, her experiences can inspire others to try things out for themselves and find what works for them.
