Hi - I’m apprehensive about sharing these but I really wanted to! I worked really hard to lose weight. At university, I was eating far too much, not finding enough time to exercise, had a hormonal change as a result of oral contraceptives, and as a result, put on weight. I’ve always eaten pretty healthily - but being short on time made me turn to unhealthier foods :(
So, a few months ago, I decided to change the way I thought, ate, acted, and treated my body. After my spring semester of school ended, I started preparing my own meals with healthy and whole foods, exercising more, drinking more water, and having a more positive attitude about my body. Love yourself and that will change a lot in your life.
I’m 5'7", 20 years old, and it took me a few months to lose the 15 pounds that I did, which seems kind of slow, but it took a lot of effort, and still is! My “before” picture was taken in February 2015, but I think I only seriously started losing weight around late April 2015.
So my weight loss happened over the course of 3-4 months. It’s important to give yourself time :) I’m not quite done yet; I’d like to lose at least 10 more pounds, but that doesn’t seem quite so daunting now that I’ve gotten used to (and enjoy) my new healthier lifestyle.
Before (Feb 2015): 174 lbs
During (July 2015): 159 lbs
