7 Month Change

exposing myself on my weight loss journey. I've been working so hard and I feel like I've really accomplished something. my body dismorphia messes with me sometimes, especially at times like this when my progress has plateaued a bit. but there are still times where I feel pretty proud.

I know it's different for everyone, but for me it has been about changing my relationship with food and exercise. and I recommend finding what works for you, no matter what your goal is.

whether you want to lose weight or just be active, you deserve to treat your body with care and kindness 🥰

... Read moreIt's truly incredible how much can change in just 7 months when you commit to yourself. When I started this journey, I was at 206 lbs, feeling overwhelmed but determined. What I quickly learned is that a '7 month transformation' isn't just about the number on the scale; it's about redefining your relationship with your body, food, and movement. Many of you might be looking for a '7 month body transformation female' story, and I hope mine can offer some genuine insights. My '7 months gym progress' wasn't linear, and that's okay. There were days I felt like giving up, especially when facing those frustrating plateaus. If you're wondering how to achieve '7 month weight loss' goals, my biggest takeaway is consistency over perfection. For me, that meant focusing on sustainable habits rather than extreme diets. I gradually shifted my eating patterns, prioritizing whole, unprocessed foods and learning about portion control. It wasn't about deprivation, but about nourishing my body properly. On the exercise front, my '7 month gym transformation' involved a mix of strength training and cardio. I started slow, maybe 3 days a week, and gradually increased to 4-5 days. Don't underestimate the power of lifting weights – it's been a game-changer for reshaping my body and boosting my metabolism. There's a real empowering feeling that comes with getting stronger! I also found activities I genuinely enjoyed, like hiking and cycling, which made being active feel less like a chore and more like a reward. Dealing with body dysmorphia, especially as I approached my current weight of 167 lbs, has been a significant part of this journey. Even as the numbers changed, my mind sometimes struggled to catch up with the visual progress. It's a constant effort to remind myself of how far I've come and to appreciate my body for what it can do, not just how it looks. If you're a '87 kg woman' (which is roughly 190 lbs, so I've been there and beyond!), or around '167 lbs', know that your journey is valid, and self-compassion is key. For anyone embarking on their own transformation, remember to celebrate every small victory. Whether it's choosing a healthy meal, completing a workout, or simply feeling more energetic, acknowledge your efforts. This journey has taught me resilience, patience, and the importance of treating my body with kindness. It's a continuous process, but seeing the change from 206 lbs to 167 lbs has shown me what's possible.
