The Journey So Far

According to her Reddit post, s2016g has been on a lifelong weight loss journey. However, in the past year, she has been making a conscious effort to eat healthily and exercise regularly. Her average weight loss has been 1.5 pounds per week.

The Battle of the Mind

S2016g's weight loss journey has not only been a physical one, but also a mental one. She conveys that she has struggled with poor self-confidence and that initially, gaining weight made her feel confident. However, as she's lost weight, she has been reminded of those moments of insecurity. She believes that just like weight loss, gaining body positivity is a battle of the mind.

The Importance of Going Slow and Steady

In the past four months, s2016g has only lost around 4 pounds. However, she is not disheartened by this because she understands that she is still losing inches. Losing weight slowly and steadily is an essential aspect of good health. Losing weight too fast could lead to the loss of muscle mass instead of fat, which is not a healthy option.

Her story is also proof that anyone can begin and succeed at their weight loss journey with consistent effort and a positive attitude.
