Height: 5'2’’ / Highest weight: 190/ Current Weight: 140/ Total lbs lost: 50!
My highest weight of 190 happened after I lost my dad suddenly to a heart attack my freshman year of college and looked to food for emotional comfort. It slowly crept up on me over a few years of avoiding the scale, wearing stretchy pants, and thinking that if I didn’t admit i was unhealthy, it wasn’t true. There was a time where I could finish a whole entire party pack by myself (12 tacos).
The first 25 lbs took about 2 years because I wasn’t really focused on myself or my health but stopped binging. I knew my habits were unhealthy but I wasn’t ready to commit to a life of fitness and healthy eating. I lost 15 lbs just by cutting out my extra dinners and watching portion size.
Since January 2016, (8 months) I’ve dropped 25 lbs, 4% body fat, 9 inches off my waist and 6 inches off my hips! unfortunately I don’t have measurements or before pictures from my highest weight. I wish I did because i’d love to see the progress. Since January, I’ve been regularly working out and eating mostly clean. I watch portions and try to stay active. One of the biggest changes is that i’ve learned to love cooking and finding new recipes. Cooking at home has helped me save calories and money. I’ve also been working with a personal trainer.
I wouldn’t say they are not before and after photos but simply “progress” photos because a fitness journey and healthy eating should never end! It takes more than just working our and eating clean for a couple months. You need to make it a lifestyle, not a phase. I have come so far but still have a long journey ahead of me! It's important to fuel your body with lots of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and get around 8 hours of sleep per night. You need to love and take care of your body and it will love and take care of you back. :)
