ambitions of being a slim trim chick

Options
Hello! My name is Aneva I'm 29 yes old going into my 30s this year. I decided to make a lot of changes for the next decade of my life from relocating to another state to starting my 100 weight drop journey. I have been on this journey for quite some time and I am like most of us so fed up with the starting over process. I would love to get tips from someone that was once in my shoes and have since lost weight all naturally. I am currently 314lbs (my biggest ever) and I'm 5'8. I am truly ready for change I can't live another 10 yrs in this body... I have a 7 yr old that I have to get active for and so many things to accomplish in life. Please help! Lol

    Haven't been in your shoes (but I have been heavy at one time). Found what worked for me is making changes I could live with (it's a lifestyle, not a diet). Don't try to make all the changes at once, just make the ones you know you can live with for right now--"Rome wasn't built in a day." Biggest thing I would start off with is watching how much sugar you are eating (believe it or not that is worse than eating a little too much fat [good fats of course]). And if at all possible go for short walks--10 - 15 minutes if you can do it.

    Thank you for commenting! I never really penpointed sugar over anything else that is something that I will definitely do here on out to see how it effects me. I already walk 9 miles a week but I have been slacking so I plan to start that up again too. Yes you are right.. Rome wasn't built in one day and neither was my belly lol. Thank you for the encouragement!

    If you want some motivation, this documentary about a post pregnant mom's weight loss journey to becoming a model. My motivation went up the hill because If this mom that has 2 kids and a sick husband can transform herself in 10 months, why can't I! Someone recommended this to me the other day so hopefully this will help you as well!
