I’m not going to lie to you, this post is a bit of a brag.
I told myself if I got to this point, I’d allow myself this little piece of pride.
I’ve managed to lose 20% of my body weight in just under 4 months. Not exactly “Biggest Loser” pace, but good enough.
Another 6-8 kilos & I will be sitting bang in the middle of my suggest BMI weight.
What’s scariest is that I’m enjoying (most of) the food that I’m eating (normal stuff, just smaller portions & more healthy fruit & veg) and I’m even enjoying my chocolate more! (again, smaller portions… but I look forward to it more).
I’m told the bigger challenge is maintaining!
Nice job!! And you’re right, keeping it off can be the really hard part. It’s so so easy to slip back into old habits.
In 2011/early 2012 I lost nearly 15 kilos, then gained over HALF of it back. Finally back to counting calories and eating the right kinds of foods. Feels good!
