Introduction

Meet reddit user summergecko, who over the course of 3 years, lost an impressive 120lbs, going from 260lbs to 140lbs. Summergecko shares her inspiring story while also offering some valuable advice for those beginning their own weight loss journey.

The Beginning

Summergecko began her weight loss journey when she was 22 years old, after realizing that she was uncomfortable in her body and unhappy with how she looked. She took it seriously, put in the work, and in 3 years achieved her goal weight.

Tips and Advice

For those starting their own weight loss journey, Summergecko advises not attaching emotions or happiness to your weight. Surpassing her goal weight didn't lead to happiness which made her realize that it is important to find happiness within yourself and your new lifestyle. Also, gradually introducing healthier eating habits is better than cutting out foods abruptly.

The Journey to Happiness

Summergecko feels immensely better and stronger than before her weight loss journey. Her biggest takeaway is that the journey and the struggle is worth it. Her resolution for the upcoming year is not weight loss related for the first time in 8 years. You can find inspiration in her story and let it motivate you towards your goals regardless of whether they involve shedding pounds or not.

Conclusion

Losing weight and making a lifestyle change is a journey that is both difficult and rewarding. Summergecko's journey shows that it is possible to achieve your goals with dedication and persistence, but most importantly, it highlights the importance of finding happiness within yourself throughout the journey.
