Many of us struggle to lose weight, and sometimes strict diets don't help. But one Reddit user, wickedbyname, made a difference.
Exercise routine

No diets or clean eating
Wickedbyname didn't follow any strict diet or clean eating habits. They only tried to be more mindful of when they felt full, avoiding overeating. They still ate everything they wanted without giving up on any specific food groups or counting calories.
Continued progress

Final thoughts
Wickedbyname proved that adamant exercise routines with a determination to be more mindful while eating could make a difference while losing weight. It’s essential to be kinder to oneself, both when losing weight and during any struggle in life. Great things can happen without the need for extreme measures. Everyone is unique, but it is okay to take inspiration from others and try it out for oneself.
