HOW I LOST 100LBS
I say 100lbs, “officially” it is 98lbs, but that all depends on the day. You know what I mean – stress, water weight, a little too much cake. That can all change that number, but it is around that number.

You know I am not obsessed with that number though. My motivation always was and always will be my health – but society is so obsessed with the number on the scale and people can’t see the changes to my health as much as they can see the changes of my appearance, so it is sometimes easy to talk about the number. People react well to a number.
Obviously there is much more too it than bullet points and this list is not intended to make it look easy (it definitely wasn’t), but it gives you an idea of all the changes that I made.
Walked everywhere

I counted caloriesFound a balance with clean eating and still eating the things I likedI educated myself and read everything I could have health and fitnessSigned up to weight loss forums/health and fitness Facebook pages and blogsI cut out processed foodI started cooking everything myself
If I ate something I shouldn’t or skipped a workout, I didn’t beat myself upFit my workouts in where I could – like doing squats whilst cookingStopped making excusesMade sure I was sleeping enoughStopped being scared of lifting weights (they won’t make you bulky)
Stopped dieting (it is a lifestyle, not a diet)Quit the artificial sweetenersAlways had breakfastSwitched to wholegrainsStopped saying “I can’t”Cut out the negative people in my lifeAte more fruit and vegetables
Listened to my body and rested when I needed to and ate when I was truly hungryCelebrated my success without food (a pair of shoes or a trip to the cinema)Worked out 5 days a week for 45 minutes to an hourMade sure I was drinking enough water (but not too much)
