Tracking my weight loss by buying and trying on small size.

I use to be addicted to the scale. I would spiral when I gained. Fast forward today I stopped weighing myself so much. The scale lies. Honestly I don’t care about size. I just want look good in clothes and naked.

The scale goes up and down for many reasons. You should never stress about number on scale. It’s that type of thinking that makes you sabotage your weight loss journey. Been there done that. I refuse to diet and starve myself. Food is not the enemy society paints it too be. I stopped calorie counting and eating in moderation and portion control. Nothing against it. It just messes with my self esteem. I rather intermittent fast and eat in moderation and lose that way.

I planned all my workouts for January ahead of time to be accountable and no excuses and being intentional with my time. I will weight left at gym. Gone schedule meal prepping days and eventually do a 3 day juice fast. Maybe at end of this month. I’m in it to win. Spent blood, sweat and tears and finally seeing light at end of tunnel.

I know my grandma gone be jealous when Iose cause she refuses to make healthy choices. Lot people gone be mad I’m slim thick. But my sp David will be proud and that’s all that matters to me. Losing weight is easy. Gotta put your mind to it. Show yourself you are ready for change and start small and little progress is still progress. It’s all about mindset ladies.

I forgot where but someone I saw on social media suggestion instead of going by scale. Go by clothes. It’s more satisfying to try on smaller item and it fit. That’s a good way track progress. I bought 3 on sale Fashion Nova dresses to track my progress every few weeks I will try on till it fits and be happy when it fits and it make me realize I lost weight.

I go to mental health building for monthly shot and they weigh me. Once I’m weighed at mental health. And it helps me mentally cause scale can be deceiving and tell lies not true. Last time I was 222 pounds and on the 3rd hope be 218 pounds. It’s so easy to manifest weight loss. And i listen to my custom affirmations videos.

I am doing 16:8 intermittent fasting and goal is do 7 days and not break it early. Some days do 20:4. I been drinking less drinks and that’s helping me not get hungry. I was drinking so much and stomach juices making my blood glucose rise and make me hungry.

Later on might try OMAD or ADF. But 16:8 and 20:4 is a good start. I have everything ever needed to lose weight and stopped wishing I lost weight quickly like some these lose 15 pounds week scammers. Slow and steady wins race. It’s okay to take time to lose weight. You end up keeping weight off.

About to do my morning workout soon. That is todays update and if more happens I will update cause this glow up gone make enemies sick. I am so ready to see 200 pounds on scale. Hard work pays off. And I’m finally thriving and putting myself first and winning at life.

Happy New Year’s 😍🎊

Dinner 🥘

My step dad got me sushi 🍣

I am feeling so good. My day was good. I don’t have a lot of friends but I also have no drama either. Damn I’m just so grateful for my spiritual team. I’m going far. This too shall pass. All the pain and tears are gone. Spirit and ancestors changed me for the best. And I’m not stopping period.

People see success but don’t see blood, sweat and tears. I cried and battled my inner pain but I worked on myself and stayed away from people cause most want to know your business and don’t want to help you. I had help me. I wanna thank me for not folding on myself. I’m freeing my mind. This is best year. 2023 was good and 2024 will be better. I promise you.

If you want it ask yourself if you willing to work for it ?? I am willing to work for it and loving this beautiful glow up. It’s my time to shine. Hoes can stay mad. Rich bitch energy and I’m counting these racks. Hope manifest women loving my level up glow up tumblr blog.

#Repost @blackgirlsgardening ... Happy Friday! 🌱🌿 I recently posted a video of my Florida Elise Caladium and had a lot of messages on it so figured I’d drop a few tips: . -This is more commonly found as an outdoor plant but I think it’s a fun pop of color for an indoor space! . -ideal conditions indoors: indirect light and humidity! The more humid the better. Mist your leaves frequently. . -temperature: the warmer the better 👏🏽 . -soil: rich and well draining. I personally use miracle grow potting mix whenever I can. . -lastly these plants only produce leaves from spring to fall so don’t get upset when the leaves die off, they’ll come back in a few months! Hope this helps 😇 #blackgirlsgardening (at Duke Forest, Durham) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaWGfBHnc_/?igshid=dplxg7piyfxb

So the last 2 days it’s been 95 plus degrees here. I took a before the heat up picture and the three after are from the last 48 hours. We had a good rain storm last night so I’m interested to see what the plants will look like today after another 90 degree day. ☀️ Follow @themelaninurbangardener for daily gardening content #blackgirlsgardening #blackgardener #blackgirlswhogarden #growyourownfood #instagardener #gardensofinstagram #gardenlife #vegetablegarden #homegrown #homesteadlife #urbangarden #kitchengarden #organicgardenening #growwhatyoueat #gardening101 #containergardening #humanswhogrowfood #vegetables #gardenideas #gardentotable #raisedgardenbed #zone5gardening #wisconsingardener #midwestgardener #exploremore #raisedbedgardening (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce30hjxuaPY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
