Hi beautiful babes, it's Steph!
I created this page to share my keto journey with you all and to hopefully inspire and motivate others to join in this journey with me in being the best version of ourselves, both inside and out.
As a working mother of a two year old my health and wellbeing was put on the back burner when my beautiful daughter was born. Whilst pregnant I was advised to go on maternity leave early having suffered from a blood clot in my chest and preeclampsia. So I spent most of my time indoors, with my best form of company, food. I gained 84lbs, and maintained that weight for an entire 18 months after my daughter was born.
And then I found keto.
As I live in Ireland, I had not heard much about the keto diet, but somewhere along the way stumbled across it on Instagram, I studied the ins and outs and decided this was going to be 'it'. I commited fully to it, I was not deprived of any food or treats, I did not feel like I was missing out on anything, it was just a change of mindset and figuring out recipes to make keto versions of my favourite meals, and once I did it became second nature.
Today I've lost over 70lbs mostly coming off in the first 3 months and honestly I've never felt more 'awake'/happy in my life. Having suffered from depression for over 12 years, personally i'm now living my life medication free in the most positive way, I've so much clarity, energy, I sleep like a baby and everyone has noticed how happy I am, always.
I've so much appreciation for those who inspired me to start my journey and am so grateful to them all for sharing their stories on Instagram and inspiring others like me.
I hope I can do the same for others. I want you to feel incredible and happy too, everyday. You don't have to do it alone! Want to join me?...step by step, day by day, we got this!
