I first started this journey a year ago, cutting out foods that were bad for me and watching how much I ate, with pretty good success! I dropped from my top weight of just under 190/size 12-13 and achieved near my goal (155-160lbs /size 9) a low weight of 168 after maybe 3-4 months of just healthy eating. I'm 5'10" and am looking to be the healthy weight for my height.
Unfortunately my struggle laid in maintaining or lowering my weight any more than that, the slightest slip in eating habits seemed to balloon me right back up, undoing in a few days what took a month to accomplish.
Now, over one year later and back up to 182lbs I'm beginning again...but this time I've finally accepted that as much as I may hate to sweat and visit the gym I hate my fat FAR more! So paired with healthy recipes, look out gym — here I finally come!
