Weight Loss

Weight loss is the most simple concept. Burn more calories than you consume. It’s really that simple. We make it hard by our choices, excuses, and lack of will power.

This is what I looked like from 2005 to 2015. During this time period, I would have told you that I really don’t eat that much, but I literally ate a pint of Ben and Jerry’s every night. I ate multiple times a day, huge meals, because I bought into the lie that your body needs fuel to keep your metabolism going. Plot twist, that’s a fucking lie. There were some times where I did lose significant weight by cutting out all carbs but at the time, I couldn’t maintain the lifestyle. I was in an abusive relationship, had 8 kids, and no will power. My point is, I was lying to myself. It’s obvious that I did eat a lot! You don’t get to be over 300 pounds by not eating.

This is me now. I lost over 150 pounds. My weight fluctuates between 158 to 180 and I’ve maintained this since 2015. Through the death of both my parents and my sister. I eat 1-2 times a day, no pop, no bread, no pasta, no rice, no candy….and my meals are small. Naturally when I’m at my higher weight its because I added some things I shouldn’t like candy or bread. But once I go back off it, My weight goes back down. But I have to remember that I am in control of my weight. My weight is a reflection of my ability to control myself and my habits. I just had to stop making excuses…I had to stop lying to myself.
