I’m down 20lbs in 3 weeks!

About 3 weeks ago, something just snapped in me. I’ve been trying to lose weight for over 6 months, dare I even say over a year. Every day I stayed at the same weight, even sometimes gaining weight. Then months went by..

Until about 3 weeks ago, something just snapped. Something in me just had enough of being fat and eating whatever I want and spending all my money on food. Starting about 3 weeks ago, I went to OMAD (one meal a day), and throughout those 21 days I have been moderately successful (probably able to do OMAD 3x a week)

But this last week has been the best. I’ve done OMAD every day for 5 days straight (on the 6th day today) and I joined a great gym a week ago. Been playing racquetball, swimming, using the sauna, cold plunging, working out, and hitting the stair climber.

In about 21 or so days, I’ve gone from 255lbs to weighing in at 235lbs this morning. That’s the lowest I’ve weighed in a year, and it all happened in 3 weeks because I had a mindset shift.

I really feel like I can keep going, and reach my goal of being in the 220’s by the end of December! Also, I should add for anybody interested, the GAME CHANGER for me on weight loss was setting short term goals. I was at 255lbs and wanted to be at 185 tomorrow. Which is laughable and would set me back even more and demotivate the hell out of me. In the beginning of November I said “I want to be in the 230’ s by mid-November. I missed my goal by about a week due to some binging and failed dieting, but knowing I was CLOSE still despite my failures allowed me to stay on track and diet the next day and exercise! Because I was SO close to breaking 240 and not reaching 185.

Now, looking at reaching the 220s in another 3-4 weeks looks more than doable. After all I am so close! Why not just forgo that muffin or McDonald’s, knowing it will set me back a few pounds and… I am SO CLOSE!
