A high school student, iRosay, shared on Reddit their journey of transformation from weighing 130lbs to 170lbs in the span of four years. The post was well received, with comments complimenting their progress towards weight loss and better health.

Motivation and Approach

According to the Reddit post, iRosay found motivation through a combination of envy and self-awareness. They saw other people getting attention and respect for their physique and wanted to experience the same. They started small, by cutting out soda and replacing junk food with fruits and vegetables. Gradually, they included physical activities like running, lifting weights, and boxing to their routine. They also took progress pictures and weighed themselves frequently.

Challenges Faced

The transformation wasn't easy, and iRosay admitted that it was challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle while dealing with acne and mental health issues. They had to battle junk food cravings and negative self-talk, but they stayed focused on their goals and made adjustments to their routine accordingly.

They received compliments from friends and family, and even got ahead of others when it comes to personal goals. The post serves as a reminder that weight loss is achievable, and that with discipline, patience, and the right mindset, anyone can turn their life around.

Takeaway

The Reddit post demonstrates that age isn't a barrier when it comes to weight loss. A teenager can achieve their weight goals with patience, hard work and support from friends and family. Anyone seeking to lose weight can adopt iRosay's approach, which involves starting small, finding motivation through self-awareness, including physical activities in their routines and making adjustments along the way. But most importantly, remember that the journey is personal, and it's essential to stay focused on your goals and enjoy the process.
