Thank you, Gezzy for recognizing my presence and struggle. I will be mindful of where I am in my journey and my accomplishments.

Hi Eve, This forum is my first attempt to get feedback on my journey. I tend to be independent in my routine and do not share much with anyone. For the most part I am usually successful in my endeavors but since my hypothyroidism diagnosis I have not received any significant recommendation for the 100 pounds I put on my body before my medication dose became adequate. My blood levels took 3 years before returning to normal and I resented to fact I was told by Medical professionals that I would need life long medication for my metabolic state. My obesity lead to my other complications and as you said “old age” was a challenge. I am 66 years old. I have tried most everything in existence to become healthy but have failed until I went on the carnivore diet January of 2025. It took many months before it saw results as I had put my body through so much. After 6 months I finally saw some slow move on the scale. There were some “non-scale accomplishments” after about 5 months. So now I am convinced that for myself carnivore is the answer. I went low carb for 10 years. I saw results but could not maintain the success. Upon embarking on the carnivore diet the thing that convinced me was I had no hungry pains or urges so it was easy to stay strict with the beef butter bacon eggs and chicken and seafood. Recently, I suddenly ate some chocolate and fudge. Just before I fell off the wagon I had fantasies about eating things non carnivore. I even had dreams about eating something by accident and woke up very upset about the dream. This was followed by some cooking videos of holiday recipes and I told myself I would try and cook for the holidays but take the non carnivore foods to my grandchildren. This led to my first cheat ever and continued to nibble on chocolate, dates and nuts for 1 week now. It’s usually in the later part of my day. I decide to stop this as soon as possible but I felt as though I needed to confess to someone out there. I can relate to your story as we are both in the near age range to each other. I need some acknowledgement from anyone who can hear me. Has anyone fallen and then got back on track???
