Hi there! This is my third round with keto. Two years ago, I was dating a guy who had been doing keto for a year or so. It made it easy to lose 45 pounds in about 6 months, but it was a toxic relationship. After breaking up with him (for the 6th and final time!) I gained all the weight back. I started keto again in July or August 2020 and dropped about 20 lbs... then I met the love of my life. I put on “happy weight,” “covid weight,” and “oh shit I fell off the keto wagon” weight. I’m struggling to stick with it. I will be doing well, seeing the numbers decrease on the scale, then a holiday or special event comes along and I go off keto “just for today,” which turns into a weekend, a week, etc. My SO is supportive and is pretty good about not eating carbs in front of me, but he really doesn’t enjoy eating low-carb. On Dec 28, I took all my measurements, recorded them in my diary and determined to get healthy. Since then, I have stopped and started keto at least 3 times. Any sage advice for how to stop sabotaging myself? I do really well, am super motivated, then get these (seemingly) insatiable cravings and carbo-load. ☹️

In an effort to add some accountability, here are my stats: I am 5’4”. On Dec 28, I weighed 208. Right now, I weigh 211. Ouch.
