🌸 A very happy #2020 , I hope this new decade brings lots of laughter, happiness & joy. And if not, because life is a rollercoaster, I hope you're able to learn to create it. 🌸 ~ #2019 was a #seizurefree year for me. Not because of the #ketogenic lifestyle but rather because of the combination of medications I'm on ( #Zonegran and #Clobazam - the latter has saved me from a few moments when I had auras and I took it at the right time ). ~ #lifestyle is a science and art that I have not mastered yet and presume I have a looooong way to go, but I'm definitely learning and it's helping manage my epilepsy. Whilst adopting keto principles helps it's but one factor. This last year saw me have #CBT for #worklifebalance ; I went to classes at The School of Life; learnt about Imposter Syndrome (and dealing with it); Exposure Therapy and so much more! ~ 2020 I can't wait to see what you have in store and fingers crossed, if I make it to August 2020 seizure free I'll be able to start driving lessons 😂 ~ #epilepsyawareness #epilepsy #epilepsywarrior

🧀 Is #leerdammer real cheese ? 🧀 ~ According to them it's made using milk, lactic ferments, vegetarian rennet and salt. So to me it sounds like "real cheese" just like cheddar or any other semi-hard cheese. Unfortunately the packaging SCREAMS ultraprocessed whereas the ingredients are like regular "cheese ". And yes bread made in a lunchbox 😂 ~ The leerdammer website has more info on their production process: https://www.leerdammer.co.uk/faqs-and-contact/ ~ #ketolunch #lunch #5minutemeals #instafood #cheese #ketobread #lchf #quickmeals #60secondbread #quickketo @leerdammer_de

🍃Did not go #hangry today ❤️ ~ I got called out by a friend for complaining about lunch recently. He wasn't entirely wrong 🙄. The lack of time to meal prep continues, or my ability to manage time at the moment, and I either eat late, or sometimes not quite keto because I'm so hungry. I eat out (and give in to temptations) the office is also full of it and i'm FULL of millennial excuses. ~ But for this week I'm going to try make time for lunch and keep it fuss free: #burrata #prosciutto #pesto ~ #keto #ketoforepilepsy #ketoforbeginners #5minutemeals #supermarketmeals #instafood #ketolunch #lchf #lowcarb #basicfood

💜 AURAS 💜 ~ My main one is super heightened senses (smells/sounds), and most of the above at some point. Sometimes it's just a gut feeling with not enough time to get to a safe space but nevertheless becoming super aware of them and taking my emergency pill have saved me from many a seizure ~ Reposted from @socal.epilepsy - WHEN I get an aura, I usually get deja vu or a horrible gut feeling. I cant communicate about the feeling, and I rarely even get them, just kind of like an “oh shit, here it comes” moment. Do you get auras? What type? Remember, these aren’t the only types/feelings of auras, yours may be different.

🥰 Sex on a keto crepe 🥰 ~ Top tip: cream settles immediately on frozen berries and it's the quickest dessert / ice cream replacement possible. ~ Couldn't decide between crepes or ice-cream or berries so this was a combination of all of them and fuel for a manic day. ~ Desert for breakfast = Frozen raspberries + Double cream with vanilla + Coconut Crepes ~ #ketoforepilepsy #ketobreakfast #ketodessert #instafood #myheadisinsummer #ketotricks #ketotips - #regrann Reposted from @ananyariaroy

💜 So true 💜 ~ I recently had a conversation with someone who said that " I talk about my epilepsy alot and that my epilepsy does not define me." ~ He was absolutely right in that it shouldn't, but in the real world it does. I ignored my condition for so long or for lack of awareness of my own condition that my seizures weren't under control. Read 15-16 years. It was only when I became aware that I was able to manage my triggers and cope every day at work or play. It does define me in that I can't live a "normal" life and i have a different life to peers (friends and colleagues) because of it and that's fine. Sometimes it's for the best, I LOVE that I have to prioritise food, lifestyle and family. It defines me because it's set boundaries for me. However everything in this image is not something that people around epileptics understand and that's hard. ~ Reposted from @epilepsylifestyle - This sucks. Keep pushing on some how. You have epilepsy. Epilepsy doesn’t have you. 💜 But this really does sucks and people don’t realize this. But you know what? We are stronger than other people. - #regrann ~ #epilepsy #epilepsyawareness #health #neuro #lifestyle
