-Part 3 cue card is success

  • Well, it is probably difficult to believe, but last year I knocked off 10 Kilos in about 6 months and this is what I am still enormously proud of.
  • I have to confess, I used to be a very lazy girl/boy who loved fast food and hated sports. And at that time I was so slim that I didn’t even think that one day being overweight would become my number one problem.
  • So when I realized that I had put on 15 kilos, I decided to lose weight and get fit, no matter what. And so it began.
  • I started exercising daily. I went jogging in the mornings and I walked in the evenings. Also, I ditched junk foods and stopped buying snacks, which I couldn’t live without. I started sticking to a diet.
  • You know, no sweets, no rice, no cheeseburgers and French fries. Nothing. Only salads, vegetables, fruits and plenty of fluids. I ate only healthy food and drank a lot of water daily.
  • I cooked foods in healthy ways such as boiling, baking, and stewing. I read somewhere that it is better to have a few light meals instead of 1 main meal. So I followed this advice too. I continued this practice for 6 straight months. As a result, I lost more than 10 kilos
  • Now I am not only as slim as I used to be, but I am also fit enough. And I am genuinely proud of my achievement.
  • I should say it was hard to change my habits, my diet, and my lifestyle, and at some point, I was about to give up because all those activities were really time-consuming.
  • But I didn’t, thank god, though I was facing a lot of difficulties. Another thing that makes me feel inordinately proud of myself is that I achieved great results without anybody’s help.
  • I just read blogs and forums, used a lot of online resources, but it was I that decided what to do with myself. This is something I never thought I could do. You can’t even imagine how much effort I put into achieving this result. I would even say I was fighting the battle of my life and I won.
