The Journey
Katsamis' journey involved being in a calorie deficit and tracking her macros. She also started weightlifting, which helped her become stronger and more confident. However, the journey was not without its challenges. Katsamis struggled with body dysmorphia, which made it hard for her to see the progress she was making.
The Health Aspect
Katsamis' weight loss journey was primarily for health reasons. She shares that she had high blood pressure and was pre-diabetic prior to the weight loss. Losing the weight helped her manage these health issues and improved her quality of life.
Looking Forward
Although katsamis has achieved a significant amount of weight loss, she still has a goal to lose another 20lbs to hit her target weight of 100lbs. She encourages others on their own weight loss journeys to focus on the health aspect rather than solely on aesthetic goals. She also emphasizes the importance of finding what works for you and being patient with yourself.
Conclusion
Katsamis' weight loss journey is an inspiring reminder that taking care of our health is important. While it may be hard to see the progress we are making, focusing on our health can have a significant impact on our quality of life. Katsamis' journey also serves as a reminder to find what works for us individually and to be patient in our journeys.
