I lost ~30kgs (went from 100kgs to hovering around 70kgs) because I got poor, couldn't afford takeaway, and had to start living super frugal. Starved the fat right off. I don't have a car, so I forced myself to walk around for good deals, markets, etc. It does get easier, but the first few weeks of reducing food intake was pretty brutal.
I look good now tho (i think ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ) so win-win haha
I am sad I went down a bra size or two, bc I liked my titties, but now I can walk around without a bra, so again, win-win lol
I have gone down two bra sizes the past 2 months and my clothes one size . I just gotta keep eating properly, having many more good food days than bad
It's a big confidence boost when you realise the clothes are now too big. I'm glad you are seeing results! Losing weight (fat) can be difficult; I hope you feel good and accomplished about it!! <3 <3 you ought to!
It doesn't help Melbourne is such a foodie city.
( when did that happen, when did people think about eating food more than personally playing sports )
also, many kudos on losing 30k, a lot of people would have just bought really cheap food that is unhealthy, it took skill and knowledge and determination to eat cheap and healthy ๐ค
