Weight Loss Journey
Click the links below for more information!
In December of 2011, I was at my heaviest weight of 295lbs. I had made a devout agreement with myself to never reach 300lbs, and I was heading there at an accelerated rate. My daily life consisted of trips to fast food establishments, binge/over-eating, spending tons of money, and bouts of depression. I became addicted to food and didn't know what to do. I knew something had to change and it had to start with myself.
I set a goal weight and held it in my mind along with a healthy mindset, exercise, and mindful eating practices. I educated myself with tools on the kinds of foods to eat, intuitive eating strategies and sought out nutritionally dense foods that gives the body what it needs to function properly. By taking care of myself internally, I was being transformed slowly on the outside. The journey took time and there were many up and down moments, for all that I can now say I have reached my goal weight of 145lbs.
I lost a total of 150lbs over the span of 1 year and 8 months and have been educating others on my journey and experiences. I feel it's important to educate others on healthy lifestyle to promote weight loss and weight management. I've been offering my experiences to others who are struggling by way of weight loss seminars and enjoy sharing what has worked for me and my body to others. When people ask me, "How did you do it?", I usually respond with, "Just listen to your body." What works for some people may not be suitable for others and it's important to be mindful and aware of our own body.
Currently, my focus is on health & wellness. It's no easy task and I fluctuate, but I am taking it one day at a time. Every day is a process and a new day to experiment with various foods to see what feels good for the body and what doesn't. Each day is a science experiment where we get to try a little of this, a little of that and just enjoy life and food as it is, right now, in the moment. If you or someone you know is struggling with weight, I'd be happy to share my struggles and journey. As a starting point, use the number one: 1 goal, 1 pound at a time, 1 ingredient at a time, 1 meal at a time, 1 fork/spoonful at a time, and 1 day at a time. It can be overwhelming, but bringing it back to the number 1 can make it seem less overwhelming.
