Introduction

Losing weight can be a challenging journey, especially when you have not taken it seriously in the past. But one Reddit user, shitsleeve, has made remarkable progress in the last 6 months, shedding 34 pounds through portion control.

The Journey

Shitsleeve started with a weight of 300lbs and had not paid much attention to losing weight until recently. To start her journey, she employed the most known method of losing weight, i.e. controlling her portions. She cut down her meal sizes and limited the snacks she used to consume, which showed positive results.

Incorporating Exercise

Shitsleeve acknowledged that portion control was her foundation to shedding 34 pounds over the last 6 months, but she was not entirely done. Her plan now incorporates incorporating exercise into her routine. She has not only trimmed down in weight, but she also looks fantastic, as countless commenters on the post mentioned.

Celebrating Small Milestones

Reading shitsleeve's reddit post shows the obstacles that she overcame in journey, as it was not easy to control her portions or to start exercising; sometimes, it is challenging to stay motivated during the weight loss journey. The Reddit thread reflects how helpful it is to celebrate small milestones and let others celebrate with you.

Takeaway

If one thing stood out from shitsleeve's journey, it is that small changes can have significant effects. Limiting your food intake, even the slight reduction and introducing moderate exercise into your daily routine can have a significant impact on your progress. You do not have to become a gym rat, the essential thing is to be consistent and watch the progress over time, which can be rewarding.
