Getting and staying healthy is a major accomplishment, no matter the number on your bathroom scale. I would know. After decades of thinking that I was destined to be the forever-fat girl, I finally lost over 70 pounds and gained some control over my body.
In tandem, I gained some control over my mind. Because more important than the weight loss is that I finally discovered radical self-love — the kind that makes it way easier to pause before stuffing food into my face. Because, truth: I love me more than I love chocolate, and that makes it way easier to prioritize my well-being over any delicious ingredient (including chocolate).
Now I take a few moments to ask myself why I'm inserting food between my lips before I consume it. And that short pause has become one of my techniques for keeping the weight in check and prioritizing me.
I spoke with several others who have lost 100 pounds or more to understand how they keep the weight off and maintain a healthy balance. And I've already picked up some of their healthier habits, all listed down below.
