It’s my second attempt to lose weight after never ending binge eating disorder. But now i can proudly say I have finally overcome it. I lost 25lbs in 7 weeks just by eating small healthy meals and almost no exercising. I am still continuing to lose weight until i reach my goal weight. But I’m already happy because i feel comfortable in my own skin and that’s the most important!
