Just wanted to let you guys know about something that has worked a miracle for me…
My entire life, I have had a double chin. It’s genetic, and super stubborn. I was thin most of my childhood and teenage years, yet always had the double chin, and it didn’t totally go away in my twenties when I was an ideal weight for my height.
However, when I gained weight and crossed the obese threshold, my double chin got out of control! I carry my weight pretty “well” except for that, because it’s just so out of proportion with the rest of my body. Yes, I do need to lose weight, but my chin makes me look so much larger than I really am.
I stopped sugar for a few days before Easter, and have recently gotten started with it again over the summer. I was thinking if I could get in good habits over the summer, it will be easier to turn down sweets when school starts again (I’m a teacher). I’ve also been exercising, and following my meal plan when I’m home, but I have been going on vacations so much that I’m just maintaining for the summer.
Well…anyway…I took a lot of pictures this weekend on a trip, and the difference in my chin after several weeks of no sugar is amazing!!! I have basically been maintaining my weight, but that chin is 75% gone!!! I am constantly studying these pictures, seeing my jawline and chin for the first time ever. It’s really such a drastic change that I swear it looks like I got some sort of surgery! This is a dramatic enough difference that I plan to eliminate, or at least very much limit sugars, forever. It takes years off my face, and is actually proportional to the weight I have to lose! This chin, for once, doesn’t belong on a much bigger person.
TLDR: if you struggle with a genetic, too-big double chin, try giving up added sugars! Mine looks so different that I could have gotten plastic surgery!
