Great job! Definitely inspiring to me since my 1st goal is very similar to what you've already done! Any tips?

Hi Presley,

To be honest the hardest and most helpful thing that I had to learn is to not criticize yourself when you aren't progressing as quickly as you would like, or when you perhaps gain some weight back that you lost due to bad choices. I did a lot of backtracking that way when I got really frustrated with myself, I would get depressed and relapse- you have to remember that 5 pounds down or 20 pounds down, that you are making progress and you have nothing to lose. I really was impatient when I first started out, now I know better.

I also just try to eat as much healthy and non processed things that I can, I eat a -lot- of veggies which is good for me but also helps fluffs up your meals to make you fuller without eating excessive amounts of food.
