I was able to achieve this by doing as follows-
• The simple concept of CICO ( 1,200 most of the time, 1,500 some days when needed, rarely exceeding my TDEE) paired with making recipes that are ‘diet friendly’. I owe my results to what I cooked for myself so I wouldn’t be miserable. (I lost weight eating chocolate muffins every morning) you can find what I make via my Reddit profile if you’d like examples.
• Dropping the ‘all or nothing’ mindset. I used to think that one day of eating over my calorie limit meant it was ruined so I would just literally eat everything in sight after the fact. This is what kills results. Doing so would destroy my deficit I created prior, making my weight loss no where near in sight, thus demotivating me.
• Falling in love with the gym. (When the gym was open) I would go 6 days a week. Zero cardio. All strength training. Now, I don’t necessarily believe this helped me drop the pounds, but rather helped me keep shapely with muscle during my diet.
I’m feeling really proud of how far I’ve come, I hope this post can be some motivation for my fellow short ladies.
