how i lost 15 pounds naturally 💪🏾

losing weight has never been easy for me being a plus sized girl but this year i decided to make a few changes that have helped me lose weight naturally.

backstory: i have depression and anxiety due to Bipolar Depression Disorder and one of the things that was consistent in making me feel good was food. i would eat when i was happy, depressed, anxious, angry, no matter the emotion i suppressed it with food. this is my last year in my 20’s so 3 months ago i decided that my 30’s would be healthier than my 20’s mentally & physically.

I started with implementing daily exercise and moving around more on the days i didn’t exercise. i make sure i balance out my meals with daily greens, smaller portions, less processed sugar, and i even took a wellness class with my doctors office. one of my biggest challenges was finding ways to not get bored when it comes to exercise that i tried different things until i found the exercise that appeases me, which is jumprope, walking, & dance.

Additional Tips: for someone who is starting out try writing out why you want to be healthier, who’s affected by your unhealthy habits, & what you want your outcome to be and to remember those things if you ever wanna give up.

⭐️Committing to a Lifestyle Change Overall rating 10/10

... Read moreWeight loss is a personal journey that looks different for everyone, and many find that emotional factors play a significant role in their relationship with food. If you're looking to shed pounds naturally, focus on implementing sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. Start by identifying the triggers that lead to emotional eating and seek support through therapy, wellness classes, or support groups. Incorporate enjoyable physical activities into your routine—dancing, walking, and even jumping rope can be fun ways to stay active without the monotony of traditional workouts. Mindful eating is another powerful tool; pay attention to portion sizes and choose whole foods over processed options. Adding greens and colorful vegetables not only boosts nutrition but also keeps meals interesting. Set realistic goals, and celebrate small victories along your journey. Remember, it's about progress, not perfection. With dedication and the right mindset, you can achieve your health goals and enjoy a fulfilling life.

How I Lost Over 100 Pounds in 1 Year!
what ACTUALLY worked for me I didn’t do anything crazy. No detoxes, no cutting out entire food groups, no 2-hour gym sessions right away. I just finally stayed consistent. 1. calorie deficit (this is EVERYTHING) I’m not even going to sugarcoat it, this is what made me lose the weight.
