How I Lost Two Stone by Doing One Thing

Re-understanding fat-loss allowed me to succeed with it for the first time ever.

I’ve always carried a couple of extra stones.

Being really tall, I usually get away with it and I have always managed to look fairly comfortable in most outfits.

However, following a prolonged illness I was left with both lockdown and medication weight, added to the couple of stone I was already concealing.

I knew that I was around three stones overweight and a test revealed my body fat to be upwards of 30%.

My solution?

I did what I’ve always done when I pick up a few pounds; cut out my treats and favorite meals, sweat it out with as many cardio workouts as I could face, berate myself constantly for any tiny, chocolate-flavored slip-up…and in the end?

Pig out on tonnes of food after enduring several weeks of hunger pangs and arrive back where I began feeling pretty pap.

I decided that I needed help with weight loss.

I was clearly going really wrong somewhere. I turned to a fitness coach from my local area, who I’d seen friends recommending on social media-she helped me to understand weight loss in a way that I’d simply never done before.
