Lose weight the fun way.

When I started my diet journey, my BMI was 33.8. I've lost 51 lbs so far, and I think I have about 15-20 more to go. When I first did the calculations, I was super shocked that I was considered obese! I mean, I knew I had to lose some pounds, but I always thought I was still cute! Something about the label "obese" made my head spin. So I know I'm making this sound easier than it is...but my advice is to try not to overthink this. When I started calculating that it was going to take me X many months of restriction to get to a healthy weight, I felt like this overwhelming cloud was looming over my head. Celebrate the little wins. It'll make all this time you're working pass a lot faster. That's something I wish I had started doing earlier. I was always waiting to celebrate "reaching my goal weight" that I never gave myself credit for hitting those milestones in between.

Hm... Let me think. I was dying for pizza after I got out of work. I skipped that. I went to the gym. When I got home, I made myself some healthy quesadillas with chicken, spinach, onions and cheese. While I was cooking, I was craving soda. I skipped that too. I ate my meal, but then I had a few vanilla wafers afterwards. It could have been worse.

Way to go!! Every healthy decision is a step in the right direction :)
