A Struggle to Overcome
Typical Suburban Mom (TSM) had been overweight for a long time, which led her to feel unhealthy and unhappy. TSM gained excess weight with both her pregnancies and never seemed to shed it. Being a stay-at-home mom led to boredom and depression, which in turn led to overeating calorie-rich food.
A Much-Needed Transformation
One day her daughter made a comment that changed everything, “Mom, I really wish you would dress nice like the other moms.” This incident made TSM realize how bad she felt about herself, both physically and emotionally. She began her journey by rethinking her approach to life, quit smoking, started using MyFitnessPal, and began walking.
The Struggle Was Worth It!
Since the beginning of her journey, TSM has lost 60 pounds, from 215 to 155. TSM also says that she has never felt happier and that this journey has brought much good into her life. Her family became happier and more functional, and TSM herself became much happier with who she was as a person. Although TSM lost weight for herself and not for others, the compliments she has received have been one of the most gratifying aspects of her journey.
Transform Your Life
TSM transformed her life by simply changing her attitude and her approach to health. Her journey proves that anyone can make a change and that it's never too late. Through calorie restriction, exercise and love for oneself, better physical and mental health is achievable. TSM's success should encourage you to take control of your life and make the changes needed to become the best version of yourself.
Take Away
TSM's journey has given her self-esteem and happiness that she had longed for. Now she looks and feels better, she enjoys life and the people around her. Even through hardships, TSM never gave up and continues to push towards a better tomorrow. Her story should encourage you to make the necessary changes in your life and to strive toward a healthier and happier life.
