From 79Kg to 67Kg: a Weight Loss Journey

Setting Out on a Journey

The post from user vargons chronicles her weight loss journey starting from 79kg (174lbs) and down to 67kg (147lbs) spanning four months. She describes her journey by being diligent with her workouts with not much of a restriction on her diet. User wendy_stop_that compliments Vargons' progress, noting a change in the tone of her legs. Such physical changes can be attributed not just to exercise, but also diet and determination.

Celebrating Milestones

As shown in the comment sections, people have noticed the changes in her body shape, particularly in her legs. User fixxxit even goes on to say that she looks sexy, while user [deleted] compliments her cute body shape. Celebrating such milestones can be very encouraging and involve cognitive and emotional changes. Milestones could be a couple of pounds lost or moving a size down in jeans. Non-food related treats like new workout gear or a weekend getaway can be a celebration of progress and dedication.

One Step at a Time

Transformation is not a smooth ride. Vargons expressed her pride in how far she had come, given her achievements were not as impressive as others. This is an example of comparing oneself to others, which is a not very helpful behavior in the fitness journey. A better approach is to focus on oneself, one step at a time. The journey should always be about looking inward on how to improve oneself, not outward at what others are doing.

The Success Story

Everyone's journey will be different, but the success story is in the trying. The best thing anyone could do for their health is to find exercise they enjoy doing, and track their progress. Seeing the progress is important in developing the self-efficacy that you can change your health for the better, even if it's slow progress. Vargons' success reminds us that fitness is not an all-or-nothing approach.

Conclusion

Vargons’ journey tells us that we should not seek the easy ways out of our fitness journeys, but rather make peace with the fact that it's a hard process that takes dedication and perseverance. Her journey was one borne of consistency and discipline, and so can ours. To get to the level she attained, all it takes is the effort to try. Therefore, we should shun fad diets and unnecessary products and stick with the basics of healthy eating habits.
