The Struggle with Weight
Ptansy shares that throughout their adolescence and first year of college, they struggled with their weight, causing low self-esteem. Despite being active in high school, fad diets did not work for them. It wasn't until they stopped consuming meat for a month in July 2019 that they saw results.
Focus on Nutrition and Health
Ptansy's meatless month helped them focus on their nutrition, and since then, they have been vegetarian. Being diagnosed with ADHD and taking medication further helped suppress their appetite and led to more weight loss. Ptansy emphasizes the importance of taking care of their health to be happier.
A Love for Exercise
Ptansy now enjoys the gym and learning more about nutrition. They are currently cutting out dairy from their diet. They have specific goals and look forward to future updates after hitting their desired weight of 145lbs. Ptansy's positive attitude is refreshing and inspiring.
Supportive and Encouraging Community

Celebrating Healthy Habits
Ptansy's journey is a great example of how sustainable and healthy habits can lead to transformation. It may not seem fast, but it is consistent and lasting. As their Reddit title exclaims, they are happy with their slow but steady progress, and they should be proud of their well-earned accomplishments.
