Growing up as a child and now as an adult, I’ve always been a chubby girl (meaning I’ve always struggled with my weight).

My excuse to myself whenever I climbed the scale was ‘mama said big bones run in the family..lol’.

My weight had never really bothered me, but knowing the health implications of being obessed I made a conscious effort to work on it.

Ill like to share what has worked for me and what no one told me would happen to my body; So here are the things I’ve tried in no particular order.

• Intermittent fasting
• Keto diet; …didn’t work for me as I gained all the weight back when I stopped.
• Exercising
• Slim tea

Intermittent fasting is something I’ve always done and still do, however I adjust the timing depending on my mood. Most of the time , I go without food for 8hrs after I wake up in the morning, and eat anytime before 7pm. I make sure I take lots of water while on it.

For exercising, i usually exercise at home at my pace by just skipping ropes and aerobics, however when I am not so motivated I join the gym, as a personal trainer would help push me to exercise, plus when I’m paying for it I force myself to show up.

While for slimming tea, I usually go for the good old green tea, you can try any brand but just make sure whatever pack you pick-up doesn’t contain sibutramine. On days when I’m feeling organic, I slice up some lemon in warm water and its refreshing.

If you focus on results you will never change.
If you focus on change you will get results.

What no one told me……

No one told me I would have to deal with a different pattern in menstrual cycle and that I was going to go a few inches down in cup size….well they also didn’t tell me I would have a better mood/less mood swings..so hey! They might as well not tell.
