Introduction

Losing weight can be a challenging task, but for one Reddit user, it was all about patience, determination, and adopting the right mindset.

The Journey

Okveggie shares her before and after photos in her Reddit post, showing how she successfully lost 66lbs in the span of 9 years. Although it took her a long time to reach her goal, she never gave up, and her progress is impressive.

The Approach

Okveggie's weight loss approach was simple yet effective. It all started with her desire to embrace the jumpstart and continue dieting after losing the first 15lbs due to stress. She no longer made a happy plate while eating out, and she made sure her dinner did not exceed 400 calories. In the last few months, these habits in her food choices became a mental thing.

The Transformation

Not only did okveggie's waistline shrink, but her face and neck also got thinner, giving her a more youthful and rosy cheek look. She mentions in her post how these changes in her body and diet have positively impacted her health, aside from making her feel younger.

Conclusion

The journey of weight loss isn't just about dropping pounds, but finding a healthier path for oneself. Okveggie proves that through patience, and a simple yet effective approach towards dieting, anyone can achieve their goals, be it slow or quick. However, remember that there is no single approach that works for everyone. The key is to find what works for you, and to stick with it.
