Introduction
Losing weight is a journey that needs effort, consistency, and lots of self-reflection. This Reddit user, hcshk, broke down her 25 pounds weight loss journey from 152lbs to 127lbs, with 17 of those pounds lost in just 5 short months from March to August in 2015.
The Journey
In her Reddit post, hcshk narrated how the wake-up call that led to her losing weight was brought about by realizing her 6'2" boyfriend weighed only 8 pounds more than her. Prior to then, she had never noticed that her weight had gradually increased over the years. Hence, she took the journey to lose weight by cutting down on her food intake and striving for consistency in her efforts.
The Importance of Self-Reflection
According to hcshk, self-reflection is essential for success when it comes to weight loss. She advises those on this journey to always take a step back to evaluate their progress regularly. Progress keeps one motivated and helps to identify the steps they need to take to get to their desired goal.
Consistency is Key
hcshk emphasises the significance of being consistent when chasing one's weight loss goals. She admits to having had a few lapses along the way, but with consistency, she was able to make the necessary adjustments and keep pushing forward. Being consistent with a healthy diet and exercise routine is vital for achieving sustainable weight loss.
Conclusion
Losing weight can feel like an intimidating task, but as hcshk shows, it's possible with a commitment to self-reflection, consistency, and hard work. What worked for her might not work for everyone, and that's where self-reflection and awareness come in. Everyone's weight loss journey is unique, and the key is to experiment, see what works, and keep pushing towards a healthier you.
