I’ve been chubby ever since I can remember. I never thought much of it because I felt comfortable with myself and I felt like me. But after a breakup in January and seeing all that extra weight I had gained towards the end of the relationship due to my depression, I decided enough was enough.
On 01/19/15, I was 195 pounds, and since then, I started eating small portions with fruit between each meal and simply doing cardio workouts. At first, I worked out 30 min 3x a week for 4 months, but my portions weren’t as small as they should have been. Then I ate about 850 cals a day for a month and a half without working out because I honestly didn’t have the energy for it. This was dumb because it was not healthy and my body wasn’t having it. Now, I’ve found the perfect balance of working out 45 min 5x week and eating the right amount and a cheat meal once a week.
It’s not about restriction, it’s about substitution.

I still have some ways till my goal weight of 120 pounds (I’m 5 foot 2), but I’m gonna enjoy it because why not lol!
