Realizing the problem

For Rudickulus, the decision to lose weight came from the realization that something needed to change. He loved junk food, beer and other unhealthy vices too much, but he knew he had to do something to improve his quality of life. He started by setting achievable goals, like cooking his own meals and exercising in the morning.

Breaking bad habits

The most difficult part of losing weight for Rudickulus was breaking the routine of eating unhealthy food and not exercising. He stopped drinking soda and beer, and started drinking tea, coffee, and water instead. He also started choosing healthier food options, such as lettuce wraps instead of bread and nut snacks instead of chips.

Finding what works for you

Rudickulus didn't go to the gym regularly or follow a specific exercise program. Instead, he found what worked for him, like biking and taking the stairs instead of the elevator. He also listened to his body and did what felt good, not what he thought he should do.

Staying motivated

The journey to losing weight can be challenging and daunting, but Rudickulus remained motivated by being real with himself and keeping himself accountable for his choices. He also had a supportive community on Reddit, where he shared his progress and received encouragement from others.

Tips for Success

If you're looking to start your own weight loss journey, Rudickulus offers some tips: set small achievable goals, find what works for you, and stay accountable. Remember, it's not just about the physical changes, it's also about feeling better and improving your quality of life. Believe in yourself and take action towards your own personal goals today!
