I was never the dainty type. When I finally found unhealthy ways to be thin, I got hooked. The compliments built my self-esteem and I felt happy. . Over time, the under eating and over exercising wasn’t sustainable. I began to see the compliments as suffocating expectations. I needed to lose more weight and the bar was getting higher and I needed to keep finding ways to feed the compliment cycle. I always wanted to be acknowledged but when I was, it was mentally and physically exhausting to keep that position. . No one ever talks about that. Now I had to keep up this persona of thinness and being a successful weight loss story. But my mind and body had other plans. As I was becoming more nutrient-deficient, my body screamed for nutrients. . Enter bingeing. But how am I going to stay thin when I hoard all this food?. . Enter purging. Purging can be the overuse of laxatives, over exercise, restricting food, vomiting… I chose all the above. It’s the compensatory behavior of bingeing. You reprimand yourself for not being strong enough to keep up with a diet. So you find ways to cut the process. . ☠️We may be scared $hitless that we’ll put all the weight back on. We may be scared that people will find out we’re not as strong or deserving of the compliments received. Whatever the reason is, we feel anxious, shame and desperation. . These emotions and getting “caught” for being imperfectly human is part of the reasons we begin to isolate. But it’s the isolation that then causes the small spark to cause raging fires. When we need the support, love and community, we cut it all off. It’s not drastic because most of this is behind closed doors, but mentally it’s happening. . ‍In this series, I will only scratch the surface of eating disorders. I have studied it with my psychology degree, been through intensive therapy, and have had my own struggles for years. . I hope that this share can start a dialogue—to have the courage to heal from any eating challenges you may have or to support someone you know that may be struggling. It really starts with understanding and it’s time to shed some light in this dark area of human nutrition.

For me meal timing is important. I might be crazy but I do things the opposite way. I eat breakfast- sometimes that might be at 4am sometimes at 6am- and then I have a second meal around 1pm (no later than 3pm). Some days I might feel like having just one meal and that’s always breakfast. Why? Because that’s what works for my hormones. It took time to reset my leptin and hunger hormones. When I have breakfast i’m less prone to overeating later in the day. The further from sleep time I eat the better my sleep. That’s what works best for me- - you do what’s best for you. . . #mealtiming #carnivorediet #carnivorelife #carnivoreketo #coffeefree #sugarfreelife #eatmeatdrinkwater #fatisfuel #carnivorewomen #worldcarnivoretribe #womencarnivoretribe #zerocarb #meatandwater

Yes! Which do you choose? . Repost @health.joint ・・・ It's going to be difficult either way. • We all have those days when it is just too tough, you are just too tired, and just too unmotivated. It seems so easy to stop. Stop thinking about your goals, stop trying to make healthy choices. • Isn't it harder though? I bet you it is so much harder dealing with disappointment in yourself than it is to wake up and hit the gym. • It is so much harder beating yourself up over your image in the mirror every morning than it is to work for the body of health and vitality. • It is so much harder dealing with the emotional stress of constant binge-purge cycles than it is to make smart food choices. • No one said your health journey would be easy. But trust me when I say your worst days in the right direction will be easier than your best days in the wrong direction.

It tastes so good to be home!!!! • • #carnivorelife #carnivoreaf #ketogenicdiet #feastthenfast #fastingdiet #carnivoreketo #ketocarnivore #carnivore #carnivorediet #ketodiet #ketofoods #carnivorefood #meatheals #yes2meat

Left: June '17 Summer Vacation ⁣ Right: June '19 Summer Vacation⁣ ⁣ This was @chrisjspath and I at our heaviest. We were off and on diets until March of 2018 when things finally stuck. By our vacation last summer we had both lost 50 pounds already and were on our way!! By this year we had lost over 120 total EACH. I dont think most of my family recognizes us. ⁣ ⁣ #carnivoreonvacation #carnivorecouple #teamribeye #teamstrip⁣ ⁣ *for details about our journey to Carnivore listen to the @carnivorecast episode, link in my bio.

Can anyone relate

Why Am I Fasting for 7 Days⁣ ⁣ 1. Reset after Vacation. We stayed Carnivore however we did eat more than normal and had some times of snacking on Carnivore foods (and a few nuts occasionally). My body needed to debloat and let go of some inflammation. ⁣ ⁣ 2. Autophagy to help tighten my excess skin. Autophagy discards and/or repurposes damaged or unused proteins in the body. The theory is that the body would break down excess skin (since it's useless) and waste it or use it rebuild other tissues or burn for gluconeogenesis.⁣ ⁣ 3. Reset my over consumption. I feel like over the last few months I have been eating more and more without feeling full. As someone who was obese the "eat till satisfied" feeling is much different than in some who has always been thin. I can easily overeat and will gain weight just eating steaks. Eating Carnivore still keeps me satisfied but if I am looking for that "stuffed" feeling then I will just keep eating!! ⁣ ⁣ 4. Community: @livinlowcarbman threw out a challenge and I knew this was the right time for me mentally to take on this extended fast. I needed a break from thinking about food all the time and having that be the center of my day. I love the social media aspect of community and challenging us out of our comfort zone. ⁣ ⁣ **Be aware of the "1-Up" mentality on social media or constantly comparing yourself. These pictures are the same body at the same weight just at different angles. Yes even I like to post flattering pictures of myself...but let that encourage you and not make you feel less than. Instagram is not often reality and we are all in our own journey!! ⁣ ⁣ #waterfastingchallenge #expectationvsreality
