I was 145lbs in January 2020. That was my highest, my whole life I was usually 115lbs so gaining those extra pounds was a huge shock to my pants (and face)
I was so scared of hitting 150lbs (which may not seem like much but when you’re used to being 115 it’s a lot) so I decided to take some action.
Now I don’t like exercising, so I don’t do it. But my job is very physical and I’m on my feet for 12 - 13 hours daily. So I decided to watch what I ate.
Mainly I would just eat less. Instead of packing 4 slices of pizza I would pack 2 and some oranges to go with it. I also started making a green smoothie in the mornings (1 cup water, 1 cup spinach, 1 banana and 1 orange) Which I would sip if I ever felt “snacky”
I don’t notice a whole lot in my body if I’m honest. My thighs still look so fat (compared to my 115 self) and o honestly thought I wasn’t making progress until I stepped on Grandma’s scale and weighed myself.
Then I saw old photos from January and saw progress I didn’t even notice before now!!
So don’t get too discouraged if you find you “only” lost 10lbs!! It can really make a difference
