My Weight Loss Story...

since i posted my before and after pics the other day, people have been asking how i did it, how i lost 50 pounds and have kept it off. Slowly, that's how. For me, i needed to make a lifestyle change, i ate too many calories and too much junk to the tune of 4700 calories on average per day and about 1/2 of that being empty calories.

I made up a rule to follow every other week such as "no white at night" "no lattes" "no chocolate" etc... and made a point of bringing healthier foods into the house. Don't get me wrong, i still eat junk, just in moderation. I love chocolate, candy, cake, cookies, chips all that's bad for me and tastes yummy.. oh, and ice cream. I try not to have it on hand on a regular basis, but when i do i work on limiting the amount of sugary and salty snacks i consume.

I'm certainly far from perfect, and still learning, but making a conscious effort to make a lifestyle change rather than "diet" was the key to my weight loss. I plan to post once a week on this blog more little bits and pieces of my weight loss journey in hopes that it will help others lose weight and keep it off as well.
