Transforming one's body takes time and effort, but it is achievable with determination and consistency.

She surprised the Reddit community with her update, sharing that slow and steady is the way to go. Her post garnered 2.2k upvotes and numerous comments, with many users inspired by her achievement.
Embracing Intuitive Eating
Initially, Glass-Fragrant counted calories, but she eventually shifted to intuitive eating, which worked wonders for her. She listened to her body and ate until she felt satisfied, focusing on whole foods and limiting processed ones. Although it was not always easy, Glass-Fragrant found sustainable ways to keep herself motivated, such as tracking her progress, seeking support from her loved ones and finding joy in every accomplishment she achieved.
Tackling Loose Skin
As a taller person, Glass-Fragrant was optimistic that she would have less loose skin. She was fortunate enough to have very little loose skin or none at all. However, she did acknowledge that she needed more toning in her inner thighs. Glass-Fragrant continues to work on her body every day and love herself where she is at.
The Power of Consistency
One of the most challenging aspects of losing weight is being consistent. Glass-Fragrant experienced this firsthand and found that one of the best things she did was to take it slow, celebrating every small victory on the way. She focused on the end goal, knowing that it would take time, but that each step would bring her closer to her desired outcome.
Inspiring Others through Her Journey
Glass-Fragrant did not expect her weight loss journey to inspire others. She shared that she had never been one to stick to a particular diet, nor was she consistent with exercise. The community's response made her feel grateful and proud of her journey. Glass-Fragrant's advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to find what works for them and be consistent in their efforts. She reminds us that transforming your body takes time but is achievable, and slow and steady is the way to go.
