My Name Is Keith DB
My whole life, I’ve struggled with my weight.
At my heaviest, I was over 300 pounds. But the weight wasn’t just physical — it was emotional.
I had a bad relationship with food. I didn’t know how to deal with stress, frustration, or hard moments the right way. So I ate. Food made me happy. Eating made me feel safe. So I kept eating.
Over the years, it got worse. And for a long time, I convinced myself it was normal. I told myself it was fine.
But my body told a different story. I was always stiff. Always hurting. Some days I could barely move without discomfort. Deep down, I knew something had to change.
I tried diet after diet. Nothing stuck. After enough failed attempts, I honestly started to believe it was hopeless for me.
Then someone mentioned keto. I thought it was just another gimmick — but I tried it anyway. And it worked.
For the first time, I saw real results. That gave me momentum. Motivation. Proof that I wasn’t broken.
But working on my weight wasn’t enough.
I had been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Social Anxiety. I was on medication — and I believe medication can be an important tool. But I didn’t want to rely on it forever if I could help it.
So I worked on my mental health just as seriously as I worked on my body. I focused on balance. I worked on my thoughts, my habits, and my discipline.
As my body began healing, my mind began to shift. And when my mind and body aligned, my spirit strengthened too.
This isn’t just about losing weight. It’s about breaking cycles.
Every man in my family passed away around 60 years old from heart issues. I refuse to become another statistic.
This is about discipline. Healing. And rebuilding myself from the inside out.
I’m still on the journey. I’m not finished. But I’m no longer stuck.
And this time, I’m not quitting.
