90lbs Weight Loss
Hey loves
So I wanted to update this photo. A few months ago, I shared my weight loss and at that point I was around 60lbs down but since then I lost an additional 30lbs AND I have managed to keep it off. It’s been over a year at this point, and I remain on the stance of not calorie counting, not starving yourself, and not restricting yourself. Make sure you follow for more wellness and when I say wellness, I focus on the eight pillars so if you want more explanation on what the pillars are, let me know and one of the comments.
Achieving a significant weight loss of 90 pounds is a commendable milestone that requires dedication and a sustainable approach. Unlike fad diets that focus on severe calorie restriction or starvation, sustainable weight loss emphasizes balance, consistency, and holistic wellness. The eight pillars of wellness—which often include physical activity, nutrition, emotional health, sleep quality, stress management, social connections, spiritual well-being, and environmental factors—play a crucial role in maintaining weight loss and overall health. Research shows that restrictive diets can lead to short-term results but often cause rebound weight gain and negative effects on mental and physical health. Instead, focusing on mindful eating, quality nutrition, and regular physical activity fosters a healthy metabolism and supports long-term weight maintenance. Avoiding calorie counting can reduce food obsession and promote a healthier relationship with food. Moreover, maintaining motivation during a weight loss journey demands addressing emotional and psychological factors. Keeping a positive mindset, setting realistic goals, and seeking social support contribute to adherence and enjoyment. The commitment to wellness beyond just the number on the scale ensures improvements in energy, mood, and quality of life. Incorporating these principles while celebrating progress milestones—such as 60lbs and then an additional 30lbs lost—demonstrates the effectiveness of a balanced, non-restrictive approach. For individuals seeking guidance, exploring the eight pillars of wellness can provide a structured framework to enhance physical health and emotional resilience, creating a sustainable foundation for lasting weight loss success.
