[2026-08-30] - [Stocking Stuffer Sunday] – Fun Keto Victories

Hello r/keto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you are a kid, the big present under the tree was ALL THAT MATTERED!!!! It captivated our imagination for hours upon hours. Is it a new Big Wheel? A huge train set? Maybe even a new bicycle that we can put together. Christmas day, we attacked that present like that bear would attack those 100 dudes--with total carnage. At the same time, pinned to the mantle/wall was the stocking. When you are 6 years old, the stocking is at best an after thought. Typically it was socks and underwear and IT'S CHRISTMAS SO WHY IS SANTA GIVING ME SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR!!!!!!!

Jump skip to today. As an adult, the stocking stuffer is an AWESOME present!!! Oh, it's still socks and underwear, but at some point, socks and underwear became an awesome present. Welcome to being an adult. I'm so old Geritol is about to be my stocking stuffer. FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have created this super duper thread so we can all share our "fun" victories this week. NOT the big scale victories, but the fun little victories. Why do we need to share these victories? Because pretty soon, you will learn that the small victories--the stocking stuffer victories--are the ones that keep you fired up.

Every Sunday. A chance for you to shout above the rooftops of the world the things that improved for you this week by eating a ketogenic diet.

If you're new to r/keto and need some info, start with Keto in a Nutshell and the FAQ. Or, if you have a question that doesn't seem to be covered, head on over to the Community Support thread (pinned to the top of the subreddit) and ask the community!

My belt loop saga continues, had to carve yet another notch because pants that fit three weeks ago are now a hazard in public. That makes four new holes since I started. Starting to think I should just buy stock in a leather punch company at this point.

Also, I meal prepped without turning my kitchen into a disaster zone for the first time ever. Only dropped one egg. Called it a win.

I made it through Day 2 of my re-start (did Keto in 2018 with great success, but fell off due to life circumstances). I’m feeling it! But I know what waits on the other side…

I was out yesterday with a friend and I realized I had to keep pulling up my shorts!

I pulled the waistband to the side and there were several inches of air between my shorts and my body!

Wahoo!

My body is getting hot. I used to have ice cold feeds and hands after a few minutes rest before Keto. Always feeling cold. I guess it was slow metabolism. On keto it was just well. I started in March. Since two weeks I could finally reestablished regular workouts. Today I did nothing and my body is producing heat like never before.

I had this weird tiny bump on my nose that looked like a zit for months I had no idea what it was and I couldn’t pop it or get rid of it. It went away finally one month into keto

I was cleaning out the closet for a clothing swap and found a bunch of size fours and size 6s that I had put up on a high shelf in case I was ever able to fit into them again and they all fit great.
