I started my weight loss journey at 18 years old and at 220 pounds. I was a 2x in shirts and 18W-20W in pants and skirts. I realized that I needed to make a major change not only physically, but mentally, as I had gone through some major things in my life and had used food as a comfort object. There were a lot of ups and a lot more downs. But slowly, I saw the number on the scale go down. When I hit 200 lbs, I was ecstatic and it showed me that I could do this weight loss thing!
Fast forward to today. I am now 110 pounds. I am now a Medium in shirts. I even fit into a XS shirt. I can now fit into a size 8 pair of jeans and a size 2 Petite suit.
The best part: I didn't use any fancy diets, pills or weight loss surgeries. I just used the age old method of moderation and smart swaps. Eating more fruits in place of sugary snacks (Although I do have one every once in a while), cutting out soda to the point where I can drink it once a YEAR and still be satisfied, setting a time of the day to stop eating, and using the recommended serving number on packages instead of just eating however much I want. I also walked. A LOT. Walked to my classes, walked and sometimes even RAN to the bus stop and took the stairs more.
