Journey from 292 lbs to 185 lbs
Jassari122410's weight-loss journey began after feeling the physical and mental tolls of her weight. At 292 pounds and 5'4", Jassari knew a change was necessary for her to feel healthier.
Overcoming Emotional Eating
Jassari credits therapy for aiding her in identifying the emotional eating and binging habits she had developed. Her mental health became the focus for a solid year, after which she began CICO eating, consuming roughly 1600 calories a day.
Combining CICO with Exercise
After a year of focusing solely on her eating habits, Jassari added exercise to her routine. Home workouts found on YouTube were her go-to. Jassari recently started week 3 of Caroline Girvan's Epic I program. She says that it's tough but feels amazing to finish each day.
Dealing with Excess Skin
Jassari has noticed some excess skin, mainly in places where her fat has become mushy. She's aware that as her body continues to change, there will be more loose skin. However, she's focused on building muscle and feeling healthy.
Conclusion
Jassari's weight loss transformation from 292 lbs to 185 lbs is an inspiration for anyone struggling with weight and emotional eating. Although there is no one-size-fits-all approach, her experience shows that prioritizing mental health, making gradual changes to eating habits, and incorporating exercise can be an effective way to achieve weight loss goals.
