I did what I thought was best in my freshman year of college in 2013. I got nice and lean and lost 63 lbs. I got under 200 which was my lightest since 8th grade. Fast forward a couple years and I completely let myself go. Lost all self control and allowed indulgences to become regular. I used to take a sleeve of ritz, peanut butter, and jelly and eat the whole damn sleeve. At night. After dinner.... while everyone else slept. Also I’m pretty sure I contributed a lot to Whataburger’s success in that time. It was delicious but shameful.
Can’t say I’m surprised that I let myself get all the way up to 300 lbs. Around June my cousin was offered $1500 from his dad to lose 50lbs and I felt motivated to lose weight with him. I wasn’t getting money but I really hated being fat. I started doing all the right things again and surprise surprise the weight started falling off. From June til now I’ve gone from 300(I first weighed myself at 294 but I’m pretty sure I was 300 before that) to 244.4 today.
To put it simply, it feels amazing to be 50 lbs lighter. And I plan on losing at least another 30-40 lbs. sustainability has been a major focus for me this time around and it’s been a huge help. I have a splurge once or twice a week within reason. I’m able to stay so much more consistent this way without losing my mind on chicken, broccoli, and rice. My regimen is very no BS and simple. If anyone wants to know I can make an edit.
I’d like to speak to anyone that has gained a significant amount of weight and feels like they can’t get out of that hole. I love food almost more than life itself but it’s not worth being unhappy. You can definitely do this. I’m still able to live life while improving my health and that’s the most important part. You’ll never stick to anything you hate. That’s why I make chicken nuggets for meal prep. Sometimes I allow myself delicious bread or tortillas as my carbs but the rest of my meal is on point. There’s 7 billion people out there and there’s 7 billion ways to do this health thing. All you gotta do is find yours.
