💜 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

🧠 Fell off the bandwagon and getting back on 🧠 ~ I remembered why I began this space again and whilst only a handful of people in my everyday life are balanced in terms of health and lifestyle. Actually probably only one - my dad , I'm so grateful to be able to turn to #socialmedia to get a dose of wise words and lifestyle inspiration from other like-minded folk. ~ @mayas_journey_ @melissaarleenking @keto.teolai thank you ever so much for your motivation, I feel like I'm getting back on track today (with a meal from a local lunch place!) ~ #keto #ketolove #locallunch #ketolondon #eatlocal #instafood #ketolunch #ketosupport #ketocommunity

➡️ What are your secrets to succeeding on the #ketolifestyle ? 🍳 ~ Because right now I'm flagging and a schedule thats leaving little time to mealprep I constantly feel like I'm always back to square 1. Today after 2 days of a carb binge and feeling that inflamed feeling, tired etc, I know it's "worth it" but I constantly feel like it's taken over my life and need to relearn (again) how to prioritise without it dominating my life. ~ #ketoforepilepsy #ketolifestyle #ketoquicktips #ketolondon #ketouk #ketoukgirls #ketosupport #ketotips

🤧NOT A KETO POST Giving into weaknesses & living in the moment 🥰 ~ So I'm currently battling a terrible flu and fever, got caught in the rain on the way back, and yesterday passed a cute venue of South-east & East Asian pop-ups in #FinsburyPark and got myself a #haianesechicken and RICE . I ate the whole bowl of rice whilst doing a #happydance with no regrets and no emergency pill this morning. I might regret it later and I might inflame but I'm writing this because I wanted to remind myself not to guilt trip myself for falling off the bandwagon. ~ The point of this post is that 2.5 years of #ketoforepilepsy and I'm still in the #eatwhatfeelsgood school of thought because life is too short . Epileptics would know. #notketomeal #food #instafood #malaysian #malaysianfood #haianesechickenrice #streetfood

🥚Eggs on Eggs 🥚 ~ #Ketocrepe with #scrambledeggs and ham for breakfast. The crepe doesn't taste "eggy" which is why this was ok. ~ #eggs #eggsarelife #instafood #nofilter #keto #ketoforepilepsy #breakfast #ketobreakfast

💜 #Epilepsy & #Anxiety go hand-in-hand , it's definitely not just being worried 💜 ~ #breakthestigma #worldsmentalhealthday
