“I remember one day walking past my reflection in a store and actually being happy with who I saw. The outside was starting to match the inside and that was inspiring.”
“After going to the doctor for a checkup for my health issues and the doctor noticed my weight loss and told me to keep up the great work and my joints and issues would continue to get better, I WAS ALL IN! That’s all it took.”
“Just start! Don’t buy into the myth that you have to be glitter sparkles unicorn beast mode on day 1. Just do SOMETHING.”
“I had always been the fat kid my whole life and never attempted to do anything about it. Felt like it could be a fun experiment and the longer I stuck with it the more the results came in.”
“Please give yourself grace and embrace your body before the journey so you can appreciate your body through the process.”
“Don’t put it off another day. I woke up on a random Wednesday and just started and haven’t looked back since.”
“It’s a journey for a reason. You won’t be motivated every day. You won’t lose weight every day. You may cheat or binge and that’s ok. As long as you get back on track. Overall consistency is the most important thing.”
“I always tell everyone to just keep it simple! Don’t stress too much or make it hard. The first week is tough but once you get the hang of it, it is so simple!”
“Within the first few weeks, I started to notice changes inside and outside my body! I had more energy, fewer cravings/feelings of hunger that could keep my cardio going longer, and felt my overall confidence rising!”
“I think the magic of my way of life now is not weight loss, but the true sense of control over food and my body that I have earned for myself. I am no longer a slave to my appetite.”
