Many people think that to lose weight you need to stop eating all of the foods you enjoy. That’s very far from the truth, to lose weight you simply must eat clean, get your body moving, and have a positive mindset. For me, not only did I want to lose weight and look the part, I also wanted to feel healthy and great. I did that by creating a morning routine that I actually enjoyed, (There is a video by Rebecca Jay on YouTube titled “How to create a morning routine you’ll *actually* stick to” that I recommend watching) walked 10,000 steps every day and ate clean. What I mean by eating clean is that I cut out all types of sugar from my diet and made alternative foods for my cravings. For example, if I ever felt like I wanted some ice cream, I simply made a smoothie and froze it. Or if I ever wanted some chocolate I would buy sugar free chocolate bars, remember “When there’s a will there’s a way”. Also try your best to love the body you have right now, it might not look the part but it sure is helping you do everything you want. At the end of the day, every body is beautiful and deserving of love, however being healthy is the best way to ever thank your body for all it’s done for you.
