Tracy’s epic weight loss story.
On my 53rd birthday, I gifted myself with a lifestyle change. I had recently been put on medication that had me feeling worse, and I knew I had to make changes. Being honest with myself kept me on track and knowing that getting to where I was didn’t take one day, so getting to where I want to be wouldn’t either.
What did a typical day of eating and/or exercising look like before your weight loss? What does it look like for you now?
Before my weight loss, I didn’t have any discipline. Now I do mild exercise, but most of my success comes from calorie management. I eat three meals daily, with snacks in between.
Tracy’s advice:
Learn to practice acceptance. Losing weight isn’t comfortable. You have to accept that the bad days will pass, and the good days will come.
Learn to practice self love. We find it easy to love others, but not ourselves. In reality, loving ourselves benefits those we love too.
