Its crazy, I havent thought much about it but come the 17th it'll be 4 months without taking any 7oh. I haven't even used cannabis since April and alcohol consumption dropped dramatically. I even recently stopped caffeine, i didn't plan on quitting caffeine, it just... happened.

After my life ending attempt back in the beginning of June, I was offered a second chance at life. I realized I had to get my life straightened out. The break up back in May was really hard on me even though I was the one the ended the 11 year relationship. But as time went on the redemption arc started happening. I began making so many new friends that I love. Started going out more and connecting with people on a new level. It feels nice. I even developed a new addiction... its called GYM. I love pumping iron and pushing my limits, it feels great.

Life has been so much better lately, getting all my debt taken care of, making new friends, trying new food and just changing and becoming who I am meant to be as a person. Its not over yet, there is still so much to learn. If I can do it? You guys can too. Give yourselves reason and purpose. Its worth it. I promise.

Did I actually do it? I haven't thought about it and I actually lost count lol I thought about it today like way... 7oh how long has it been? Yeah 7 weeks dude! My life has been coming together. Even after the break up with my ex of 11 years, I just haven't thought about any form of drug use. Been making new friends, i just got promoted in my job, and life's just... better all around.

Wow.

Not very many people understand but getting your micros is crucial on the ketogenic diet. Fatty beef, lamb, red meat in general is the best for those of us on the diet.

Its especially elite when you fast for long periods of time, and unlike carb dependent people you won't crash out. From my experience it took about a month and a half to become fully fat adapted, it required a lot of fasting to get this point. The goal for me is to maintain muscle mass while losing fat.

I've learned for us fat adapted people on the journey of losing fat, being in 1k+ calroie deficits is obtainable without crashing out. Around the month and a half mark, the food noise completely stopped. I know that i do have to eat but it isn't what I think about anymore. I just.. i just eat. Usually home made spicy salsa, fatty beef and eggs. Maybe a psycho cup of black coffee. Its the autophagy and clarity that I continously chase. Its like a divine high.

The reason micros are so important is because they help repair any negative ailments inside, they give you the nutrients that you need, sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, b1, b6, b12, vitamin d and calcium. We absorb them completely when it comes to being consistent on a whole food diet.

Started 338lbs April 2nd 2026 and fell down to 297 lbs May 25th 2026. My coworkers don't understand how I do it and wonder if I ever get tempted by the food in the store. The answer is no, due to the high nutrient consumption the food noise is completely gone.

Benefits I have experienced so far

Sleep Apnea GONE

Sleep quality, improved exponentially

Inflammation, dropping. Still got some in my body but not as severe.

Alcohol cravings? Non existent

Energy drink cravings, non existent

Mood? Stoic and clear

As long as your body knows how to burn fat? You won't have to worry about crashes. Its tough the first month but it does get easier. I promise.

I look forward to posting more in the next couple months.

Have a great day guys.

So long story short I was reinstated into my position back in March thanks to the Union, and my original hire date was July 1st 2024.

I wasn't supposed to work tomorrow but my manager called to see if I can pick up that shift tomorrow and of course I said YES cuz 40 hours is better than 24. (I also picked up another for Friday)

I'm with local 7 in Colorado Springs at Store 58 King Soopers.

你好， which means hello in chinese... yeah.. I've been teaching myself Manderin. Its been a very interesting journey. Even being on keto, I weighed 338 back in April 2nd and fell to 303 just today.. i have been a mess because my 11 year relationship ended. It was thee hardest thing for me to do, and i didnt want to do it but it was necessary. I love her so much but she has to go and make a life for her. I have my issues, she has hers.. this isn't about the break up though.. it was just part of my journey to getting clean.

I started going balls deep into learning Manderin and i have made a friend in China thats been helping me with my pronunciation. I've learned that I really enjoy learning this language and i haven't once thought about 7oh. After the break up I have been stone cold sober from everything. I just sit with those feelings. I do cry randomly because it hurts.. but its a good hurt. And I know she will be successful in her coming life.

As for me my goals are simple, staying sober, learning new languages, getting out of debt and making new friends. I've even started drawing more as well... also getting away from all the world's drama such as social media and the awful things going on.. i have to focus on leveling up.

So here is to new beginnings.

为新的开始干杯！

I broke up with her... it was insanely painful. I still love her but its best to go our separate ways. We had our occasional arguments, bickering, fights... yesterday was the worst its ever been. She was in a very awful mood and taking her anger out on me and I was doing everything I can to maintain calmness.

I've been emotionally exhausted the last few years and I have my problems too. With alcohol, substance abuse to numb the depression. I started getting clean, developing structure and routine. She doesn't have any of that and i had that conversation wity her about keeping this peace but she couldn't..

I won't say she's a bad person, because she's not, she just has a lot of things to work on and so do I. I know she was having a hard time accepting the situation, and I told her this isn't easy for me either.

I'm in a financial hole I'm trying to get out of, I'm emotionally drained and I know this will be the best for both of us. She has family to go back to where she can learn what she needs to learn and pursue the career she wants to get into. I know she will succeed and I want her too. With me it wasn't possible.

It's crazy how she thought there was someone else, no, I dont want anyone else... I just want peace. That's all I want. Slept on my mom's cheap uncomfortable couch and didn't sleep very good... but I did wake up feeling peace for the first time in years.. I'm still an emotional wreck of course but as much as it hurts? I know this was the right thing to do.

I wish her well, and I know she will succeed.
