Introduction

Losing weight isn't easy, but it doesn't take a dieting guru or extreme physical exertion to get there. One Reddit user who goes by the handle lauresmars chronicled their weight loss journey in their post, from 210 to 160 pounds over two years. Their secret? A combination of weight lifting, aerial fitness, and intuitive eating.

Intuitive eating

One of the most interesting aspects of lauresmars' weight loss journey is their use of intuitive eating. Instead of following strict diets or counting every calorie, they ate what they wanted, when they wanted. However, they didn't allow themselves to binge or overeat, instead eating slowly and stopping when they were full. This allowed them to balance their diet without feeling guilty for eating 'bad' foods.

Fitness routine

To achieve their weight loss goals, lauresmars also incorporated weightlifting and aerial fitness into their routine. Specifically, they focused on aerial silks and lyra, two types of circus apparatus. This combination of weightlifting and aerial fitness helped them build muscle and feel stronger overall, allowing them to reach their goals in a healthy and sustainable way.

Quitting bad habits

Losing weight isn't just about exercise and diet - it's also about making healthy lifestyle choices. lauresmars recognized this and quit both drinking and vaping in order to improve their physical and mental health. Quitting vaping can be challenging, but lauresmars stated that they were able to quit by throwing their vaping device onto the highway, and eventually limiting vaping to when they were around friends who still vaped.

Conclusion

lauresmars' weight loss journey is an inspiring example of what can be achieved through a combination of intuitive eating and regular exercise. Their decision to quit unhealthy habits and focus on both their physical and mental health is a reminder that weight loss isn't just about a number on a scale. By finding a routine that works for them and sticking to it, lauresmars was able to lose 50 pounds and feel stronger and healthier than ever before. If you're on your own weight loss journey, consider trying out some of their tactics for yourself and see what works best for you.
