Losing weight before and after the diet

Valentina had previously thought about taking care of herself, but every time she brushed aside this idea – her youth could not be returned, her health also seemed to be irretrievably lost. And so at least some kind of joy in life: to eat deliciously and lie down to rest. Delicious – these are dumplings, potatoes, meat, buns, pancakes. Something, but Valentina knew how to cook and loved. But one day, during a hearty meal, she turned on the TV and got on the program “Zvazheni and Happy”. A look from the outside at people with the same problem as hers made her blush: Valentina felt ashamed in front of herself. It was at that moment that she realized that she was completely ready for change.

“It so happened that after a nose injury, I only breathed through my mouth. But in a month, having made a lot of efforts, I managed to learn to breathe through my nose again, and this was the beginning of the path, ”the woman shares her experience. When her breathing was restored, she bought herself a scale. But for a long time I did not dare to stand on them. I was afraid. “On December 1, 2011, I finally found out my weight – 123 kg,” recalls Valentina. – It was very offensive, but I already gave myself my word: no matter what, I will not give up. ” On the same day, Valentina started a diary, where she began to write down her weight and everything that was eaten every day. She didn’t go on a diet in principle – I tried a lot of them in my life and realized that there was no point. Only short-term effect. Therefore, taking a pencil and a piece of paper, the woman calculated her daily calorie intake, figured out how much water to drink, and on the same day began to adhere to the selected rules.

“Before, I didn’t drink a liter of water a day,” the woman recalls. – But now I understand why I had severe edema. They went away immediately as soon as I established a drinking regimen ”. Valentina had to get used not only to drink water in small sips, but also to eat a little, but often. Of course, at first it was very difficult. She, accustomed to going to bed long after midnight, had to go to her bedroom at nine in the evening, so as not to feel hunger: in a dream, after all, she did not want to eat so much. But soon all efforts were rewarded, on March 8 Valentina got on the scales and froze with happiness – 100 kg! This was the first victory!
