“Commit and get started. Take it slow and win your self out of your old life into the new. Find someone to hold you accountable. Remove the doubt and get going. The longer you put it off the harder you have to work.”
“I will tell you, it takes work, it takes dedication – but you CAN do it.”
“I think the idea that you are supposed to be motivated all the time is based on strict and toxic diet culture norms that need to be trashed. My weight loss journey is lifelong, there is no “end date” and I have no ultimate goal weight at which point I will cease working out and eating healthy.”
“Motivation has its place, but I lean more on discipline. Motivation tends to waiver, but I found that when I am disciplined, I am very consistent.”
Hi! Tell us about yourself…why did you decide to start losing weight? When I was in high school I weighed in at about 300 pounds
“Start slow and steady. Let go of the timelines you have in your head and take the pressure off. This isn’t about how fast you can lose weight but how to really change your life.”
“There are no quick fixes for weight loss, just a calorie deficit, discipline, and hard work.”
“When I’m hungry I always drink some water first because often thirst feels like hunger. Staying well-hydrated is important for the body, especially cleansing.”
“Remember your “why” because that is the only thing that will keep you going! My son is my why.”
“Now I practice taking every day as a new opportunity and a chance to better myself, rather than comparing myself to the person I was yesterday.”
