The best thing I did was figure out how to identify baggage and deal with it head-on. I was in a manipulative relationship that led me to eat out after a long day at work because I didn’t want to go home. When I was home, I munched on anything that would help me suppress the fact that I was stressed, depressed, and anxious.
So, I stopped trying to hide from it. I left my ex-fiancé, I stopped eating out, and I started hitting the gym. It took me about two months before I finally became consistent with a gym routine. Then I started making little nutritional changes, and everything else fell into place.
I learned how to meal prep, I got a 32-ounce water bottle and made sure I drank and refilled it several times a day, and I even took a nutrition class to gain a greater understanding of diet, macronutrients, and food in general. But, most importantly, I remained consistent and persisted.
I’ve lost 112 pounds in about a year. I’m happier, more confident, and so much stronger than ever before.
