3 things I learned when I lost 88lbs

1. If you feel like you have to have a “cheat meal” you are doing it wrong..

You don’t have to starve or deprive to lose weight friends. I’m proof of it. Look at my page to see my before and after. It’s wild.

2. fad diets for a quick fix do more

Harm then good. You’ll just gain it back. Ditch that instant gratification mindset. I ate real food,carbs and deserts!

3. Confidence won’t come from fat loss. Confidence is built by showing up and doing the things you said you were going to do. It comes with keeping your word to yourself. It comes with showing up for you. It comes with saying no to everything that forms reserve you. Health is more than what you eat. It’s everything you consume, hear & watch. It’s the people you’re around.

... Read moreLosing 88 pounds is not just about changing your diet; it's a holistic journey that impacts your lifestyle, mental health, and self-image. One of the biggest misconceptions in weight loss is the necessity of cheat meals, which can trigger a cycle of guilt and unhealthy eating habits. Instead, focus on sustainable eating practices that do not involve deprivation. Real food is vital. Understanding that fad diets may promise quick results but ultimately lead to weight regain is crucial. Embrace a balanced diet rich in carbs and treats in moderation while learning to appreciate your body's needs. Confidence plays a significant role in weight loss. It doesn't solely stem from the number on the scale but rather from the commitment to your health and promises made to yourself. Cultivating a support system and surrounding yourself with positive influences can be as impactful as dietary changes. Acknowledge the importance of mental well-being as part of your health journey. Remember, true transformation requires not just physical changes but also mental and emotional growth, leading to a healthier, happier you.
