The secret of my weight loss

I was fat after giving birth to my 6 kid
I am not anymore
How did I do it?
Eat food that I like but not all the time or in huge quantities.
Do exercise that I like as often as possible
.
What I didn’t do was
Use cleanses
Use pills
Have an all or nothing mentality
Changes everything all at once
Exercise for hours everyday.
Starve
I didn’t let the fact that I am short, have PCOS, Narcolepsy, single mom, tired (see PCOS and Narco), don’t feel like it, be reasons not to at least try everyday.
Expect it all to happen in 6 weeks.
Between the first and second pics, there is 960 days…..it might not be that impressive but I still got there and will go even further.
The secret to my success is PATIENCE. I didn’t lose weight or even inches for almost 10 months…..but pics taken every month showed that things were happening.

My Hero
Seriously.
I lack patience usually, but have told myself I'm in it for the long haul this time. There is no reason I shouldn't have the body I want (within reason).

and I didn't mean to leave this out, but you look amazing. I'm inspired.0 -
Thank you for this! I am doing the same thing, and at times it seems daunting. It's inspirational to see someone that had the same ideas and succeeded. I eat what I like (in sensible portions, now) and don't feel bad about it. I figure it's worth it, to be happy -and- healthy and keeps me from pining over certain foods.0

Well done, and perfect post! Thanks for sharing!0

Thank you for the reminder! For the last 2 years I was so set on the idea that I would lose 40 pounds in 4 months. I now know I don't want to lose 40 pounds in 4 months. I am ok with it taking me a year. Changing my eating habbits and cutting my cardio in half and lifting more is already making a huge difference! You look great!0

Awesome. Solid advice!0

And THIS, my friends, is how it's done.
BRAVO. You look amazing.0 -

Absolutely awesome. Patience is key. You're living proof of that. Congratulations on your journey of change. I myself have often fallen into the "6 weeks" mentality and this is a great reminder to me to stay the course and be patient.0
