Improving the Relationship with Food

The journey to a healthier weight is often a challenging one, and for Reddit user fl_n__r, that journey involves not only physical changes, but also a focus on changing their relationship with food. In their original post, the user talked about working on this relationship over the past 70 days as they attempted to lose 10 pounds.

The Importance of Progress Pictures

As the comments in the Reddit thread indicate, it can be difficult to see changes in oneself without a clear point of comparison. For fl_n__r, progress pictures played an important role in documenting their journey and allowing them to see how far they had come.

Constructive Criticism in Supportive Spaces

While the Reddit thread contained some seemingly negative comments about the user's appearance, many other users rushed to defend fl_n__r and offer support and encouragement. As with any weight loss journey, it's important to be open to constructive criticism, but equally important to remember that there will always be those who try to bring you down.

The Role of Exercise in Weight Loss

Along with focusing on their relationship with food, fl_n__r shared a bit about their exercise routine, which includes yoga, HIIT, and specific exercises for different muscle groups. The user's dedication to the gym likely played a role in their weight loss success and muscle tone.

Setting and Achieving Goals

The 10 pound weight loss that fl_n__r achieved in 10 weeks is impressive, but it's also important to remember that not everyone's weight loss journey will look the same. Rather than getting caught up in specific numbers, it's important to set achievable goals and focus on the progress made along the way.
