Carmen lost 20 pounds. She was tired of struggling with her weight and feeling uncomfortable. Working out consistently, eating smaller portions, and addressing and finding solutions for emotional eating have been critical factors in her success.
What was your motivation?
I have struggled with my weight as far back as I remember. I was never obese, but I was overweight enough to be uncomfortable. I finally got sick and tired of the difficulty I had bending over because of my stomach being in the way.
How did you change your eating habits?
I have attempted to lose weight many times, but it never stuck because of my food addiction. I finally had to put my big girl panties on and learn to deny myself second helpings.
I didn’t deny myself any foods, but I did eat smaller portions. I learned to stop eating out of boredom and only ate when I was hungry.
How often did you work out?
I joined a gym and faithfully went three days a week, whether I felt like it or not.
What did your workout routine consist of?
My workout was using the treadmill for 30 minutes and the climbing machine for 15 minutes.
What was your starting weight? What is your current weight?
My starting weight was 180 pounds, and my current weight is 160 pounds.
What is your height?
I’m 5’3″.
How long did your transformation take?
May 2021 to July 2021.
Is weight loss surgery part of your journey?
No surgery.
What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?
This gist of it was smaller portions and addressing my emotional eating.
