vernaalissa Losing weight isn’t just about changing your body — it’s about transforming your mindset too. Over the past 2 months, I lost 10 kilos, and in this post, I want to share how I did it. No gimmicks, no shortcuts — just real strategies that worked for me.
1. I Set a Clear Goal
Before I began, I asked myself why I wanted to lose weight. I wanted to feel healthier, have more energy, and look in the mirror with pride. This clarity kept me motivated through tough days.
2. I Changed the Way I Eat
I didn’t follow a strict diet — I created a balanced lifestyle.
- I cut out sugar and white flour completely.
- I avoided processed foods as much as possible.
- My typical meals looked like this:
- Breakfast: Eggs, olives, avocado, cucumbers, small slice of bread
- Lunch: Grilled meat/chicken/fish + large salad
- Dinner: Soup + vegetable dish (no bread)
- Snacks: A handful of almonds, yogurt, or fruit (in moderation)
3. I Drank Lots of Water
I made it a habit to drink 2–2.5 liters of water daily. Whenever I felt hungry, I drank water first — often, I was just thirsty.
4. I Got Moving (Without Overdoing It)
- I walked for 45 minutes at least 4 days a week.
- I did simple home workouts: squats, jumping rope, planks.
- Some days I just danced to feel good and burn calories with joy.
5. I Allowed Small Treats
I didn’t deprive myself completely. Once a week, I had something I loved — like a dessert or favorite meal — in moderation. That helped me stay consistent without feeling restricted.
6. I Focused on Progress, Not the Scale
I didn’t weigh myself every day — just once a week. I saw more progress in how my clothes fit and in photos. That kept me encouraged more than any number on the scale.
7. I Took Care of My Mindset
- There were moments I felt low, but I always reminded myself why I started.
- Meditation and journaling helped me stay grounded.
- I followed inspiring accounts and pages on social media to stay motivated.
The Result:
I lost 10 kilos in 2 months, but the biggest gain was my confidence. I feel lighter, stronger, and more in control of my life. This wasn’t an easy journey, but it was absolutely worth it.
If you’re thinking about starting your own journey, remember: you don’t have to be perfect — you just have to be consistent.
