Introduction

A man's post on Reddit about his incredible weight-loss journey has been trending. Within 11 months, he lost a massive 88 pounds, inspiring thousands to lead a healthier lifestyle. Here's what we know about his journey from his Reddit post.

Body Dysmorphia and the Journey of Weight Loss

The man, who calls himself edamamecheesecake on Reddit, revealed in his post that body dysmorphia can make it difficult to see progress. According to him, even though he could see the difference in his face, the width of his body looked the same as before. Despite this, he was able to recognize the changes in how he felt in his before and after pics. In the before picture, his clothes were bursting at the seams, making him feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Comparatively, in the after picture, his shorts were loose, making him feel much better.

Counting Calories and Consistency

Edamamecheesecake says that he followed the calories in, calories out (CICO) approach to lose weight. While structured diets like keto and weight watchers didn't work for him, the CICO approach helped him lose weight steadily over time. He counted calories by tracking his food intake using apps like MyFitnessPal. Edamamecheesecake advised others struggling with weight loss to take it slow and steady and not to focus too much on rapid weight loss.

Positive Encouragement on the Internet

Edamamecheesecake's post has received a lot of positive comments and encouragement from Reddit users. Many have commended him on his hard work and dedication, and others have asked for tips on how to lose weight like he did. When asked about why and how he lost weight, Edamamecheesecake revealed that he was at a dead end with how unhappy he was, and he decided that it was the weight that was holding him back.

Conclusion

Edamamecheesecake's weight loss journey shows that losing weight is a gradual process that requires consistency and hard work. While it can be difficult to maintain progress due to body dysmorphia and other factors, it's important to stay focused on the long-term benefits of a healthy lifestyle. His advice to others is to take it slow and steady, and not to compare themselves to others but to focus on their own progress. By doing so, they can achieve their weight loss goals.
