Today, read a story about an amazing lady who decided to take control of her life!
I'm a twenty something girl from Vancouver Island in Canada. I've ALWAYS been a bigger girl my entire life. The day I decided to to live a healthier lifestyle was the day I went to meet with a gastric bypass doctor, I was so ashamed that Iet myself get to the point where I was actually considering such a serious surgery. I felt like I couldn't do it myself. The doctor came off kind of rude, and was telling me that if I just followed a balanced diet and exercised regularly, I would be melting the pounds off! And you know what? It really was that simple!
I cut out the carbonated drinks (keep it limited to once or twice a month for a treat) sweets, salty snacks (again, limited amounts!) And eat lean meats, vegetables, fruits and whole grains! I am trying to limit my wheat intake too! I go to the gym 5-6 days a week if I can & try to walk as much as possible
My life is different in that I feel good about myself after losing 80+ pounds, I smile more, my relationships are stronger and thrive and I'm not sore from walking or out of breath after two flights of stairs
My advice to anyone on their journey or looking of starting one is to take it one day at a time. It's a process and a life-long commitment.
