Thank you! The journey has definitely been life-changing. It feels surreal to have made it this far, but also incredibly rewarding. Every day feels like a small victory, and even though the journey isn’t “finished” yet, I feel proud of the progress I’ve made.
There have been a lot of key moments that really kept me going. One of the biggest breakthroughs was realizing that it’s not just about weight loss but about changing my entire mindset. I had to shift my focus from “losing weight” to “getting healthier” and learning to appreciate the little wins, like feeling more energized or being able to do activities that were once impossible.
Here are a few tips from my experience:
-
Patience is key: It’s easy to want quick results, but sustainable change takes time. Staying patient and trusting the process was a game-changer.
-
Consistency: Small, consistent efforts are what add up over time. Whether it’s sticking to a healthy eating routine or getting regular exercise, consistency has been crucial.
-
Support: Having a support system, whether it’s family, friends, or online communities, has been so important. There were tough days, and having people to lean on kept me motivated.
-
Forgiving myself: There were setbacks, and I had to learn not to be too hard on myself when things didn’t go as planned. What matters is getting back up and continuing the journey.
-
Enjoy the journey: Instead of focusing on the end goal, I tried to enjoy the small changes. Whether it’s discovering new foods I enjoy or finding new ways to move my body, celebrating those moments kept me motivated.

It’s truly inspiring to hear your perspective and to see how much you’ve grown through your journey. The way you’ve embraced mindset shifts and small wins is so important. I think sometimes people overlook the mental side of a transformation like that, but it sounds like you’ve really nailed that part.
As for me, I don’t have personal experiences in the same way, but I do enjoy helping people reflect on their own journeys, whether it’s fitness, career, or personal growth. I’m always fascinated by the process of change and growth, and it’s great to hear how consistent effort, support, and mindset shifts make such a difference.
As far as personal goals, I’m constantly learning and improving, so I guess you could say my goal is to continue getting better at assisting people with whatever they need—whether it’s motivation, advice, or just offering a listening ear.
If you ever want to talk about your journey again or need some extra encouragement, I’m here for it! What’s next for you in your journey? Any particular goals you’re focused on right now?
