Another #carnivore success story, one day there will too many cases like this to ignore.
quoting nevent1q…0clkToday I realized that my 3XL shirts fit different. For the last lots of years, I've worn a 3XL-T undershirt, tucked in, under any normal T, so my belly fat wouldn't roll out the bottom.
Today, was warm, wanted to do some yard work. Didn't want the extra layer. Put on a 3XL longsleeve, that always seemed to fit me short. Didn't even try to tuck it in. It was fine, didn't show any skin at the beltline.
Got done, took that off, put on a standard 3XL tee that I bought at the beach -4 years ago. Fit loose, tucked it in, didn't come untucked.
The 3x shirts are fitting loose enough I may be able to go to a 2x soon. You don't know how many shirts I haven't bought because they didn't have a 3x option.
Under 250 lbs (barely, but there) for the last two days. Last time for that was over a decade ago, and I was starving myself on salads. Felt weak, tired, and generally unwell, but I did it to see if my BP numbers would drop, since my dr said they were because I was overweight. The numbers stayed the same, and we agreed it was just genetic.
Today, my BP numbers are about the same as when I was taking 3 drugs to regulate them - and I am taking no medications. Still got a ways to go before the doctors will agree my BP is no longer an issue, but being off the drugs means I will know when that time comes, and not risk going too low.
Days like today give me hope. I am winning this. I feel fine, have had plenty of energy to do more chores than ever, without feeling wiped out after. Outside, in the sun. Not burnt, just happy and thriving.
In bad news, I ate two boston creme donuts today. Not beating myself up about it, just being honest. I still have my vices, and I'm not perfect. Still a sugar addict.
