Keto was hard so have abandoned ship for a bit. With anxiety sky high, starting new dose of meds & worrying abt nearly due Uni assignment. I couldn't deal with all the intrusive sugar cravings. I was actually craving a ice-cream bubblegum that I was addicted to aged 7!! Going Keto again next week.

Day 1 going Keto. I'm 17 stone, pot-bellied, insullin resistant and generally feel like a worthless piece of shit more days than not.
Been hooked on sugar all my life and think I'm more of a "coke addict" than Rishi Sunak. As long as it's 🍒.

The EU should completely ban X. It is not a social media platform but an mechanism to bring down democracies.

My Mum's has had this for years and we gave it a bit of support when it was about 1.5ft. Is now over 3ft high with 13 babies!
But the mother plant is now only an inch away from having nowhere else to grow.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
