Making a Lifestyle Change is Never Easy

When Reddit user xlThalionlx posted a before-and-after photo of himself on the social media platform, he never imagined that it would go viral, receiving 158 upvotes and several comments. People congratulated him on his impressive weight loss journey and asked him how he did it. While he admitted that it was not easy, he said that he simply ate healthy and went to the gym five days a week.

Do not Expect Quick Results

It took xlThalionlx a year to go from 300 pounds to 189 pounds, so he warns others not to expect quick results. Losing weight is a difficult and slow process that requires patience and discipline. However, the rewards of a healthier lifestyle are worth it.

Avoid Excess Skin with Proper Care

Many people fear that when they lose a lot of weight, they will be left with excess skin. XlThalionlx said that he had very little loose skin, and that it looked like it would tighten up over time. However, he did have stretch marks, which he dealt with by using a cream that seemed to be fading them.

Celebrate Your Accomplishments

XlThalionlx said that losing over a hundred pounds has felt like a life upgrade, and he is proud of what he has accomplished. If you are on your own weight loss journey, be sure to celebrate your accomplishments and appreciate how far you have come.
