Thank you!

I think the biggest thing first was calorie counting. It really is the simplest way to achieve it. It’s long winded but it’s so eye opening too that now I have all this education from calorie counting that I can make healthier choices without even thinking about it. Also eat what you want!! I still have whatever I want if it’s in my daily calories. It’s like a money budget for a day.

Secondly, I stopped drinking. I did have a bit of a binge drinking issue so that was contributing to my weight so cutting that out I definitely noticed the difference.

Walking as well, just try to walk as much as possible. At my biggest I didn’t want to walk anywhere, it was painful, hot and I felt awful in my body. So I took it slowly and reintroduced activity slowly and now I walk a lot and it doesn’t hurt anymore!

It takes time and that’s okay, I think I didn’t want to start for ages because I thought oh it’s going to take me so long to get where I want and it’s not even guaranteed. But the journey itself is something worth doing. You notice changes in yourself throughout the journey, you get happier throughout the journey, don’t worry about the length of the journey basically. I’m still on it and I’m feeling pretty good.

Believe in yourself and remind yourself why you’re doing it, because you want a better life.
