I lost 70 pounds

I used to weigh 125 pounds in my 30’s , fast forward 2 divorces, 2 children, work stress, ex husband stress dealing, was eating middle of night a lot, couldn’t stop, thought stories of people saying lost 60 - 70 pounds was bogus. My decision: started with a $14 course on line hypnosis for weight loss, thought it did not work first few weeks, then few weeks later, started not wanting to go to frig in middle of night.
2. Major motivation: hired people to paint whole house , including my walk in closet, painter: hey lady take out all your your clothes out put them somewhere, I put them on my bed, all dusted, not worn for 20 years, decided instead of giving them away, before putting them back inside the closet start organizing them and lose weight and try one or two pants at a time, hey guess what? It worked so well they were felling off my butt,
3. Read about autophage diet, newest diet, 17 hour fast not only causes rapid weight loss, it causes cells to eat themselves, therefore new cells regenerate, causing rejuvenating , I lost significant weight, and people started telling me: are you aging back? I was indeed looking like my late 20’s , taking selfies, was forced to buy new clothes, went from size 10 to size 6 to 4 , now I still weigh myself every day, BMI %19 , yes baby, down from %31. How long did it take? One year? First month very hard, but later focused on work and weight kept coming off, stick to 17 hour fasting weight loss diet, use my fitness pal , you must have a huge motivation, just saying I want to lose weight, reach what I used to weigh in collage in not going to get you anywhere, then keep weighing yourself everyday after reaching your goal,
