'I lost 65lbs in 7 months'
Many life events lead to my weight gain. I became a mom and wife at just 17 years old. I went on to have three more children. A very rocky marriage later lead to a divorce. I was suddenly a single mom with no income struggling to survive. Add the sudden loss of my big brother, I felt lost and wasn't taking care of myself.
I had to quit the career that I had worked so hard for and became extremely sick and depressed. I gained 80 pounds with that pregnancy and because of my autoimmune disease, I felt very limited with options to get rid of that extra weight. Within moments it flipped a switch in me. I just kept thinking about how I was giving every last bit of myself to care for my kids and my family, and how I was barely hanging on as it is.I knew I needed to do something and I was going to be the only one that could make it happen. Nobody was coming to save me. It was up toI made up my mind and set a time to start my journey. I knew I only had until August to lose the weight to be able to be the best grandma and mom I could be. I was determined.
I also started the 16:8 fasting method, fasting for 16 hours, and eating for 8, and would usually eat between 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily.
