I’m enjoying life, which has led me to gain a lot of weight in a short amount of time. I’m working on losing it, but I want to do it in a healthy way, even if it takes time. I don’t have any workout routine – I just go for a walk as soon as I wake up. I also try to plan three healthy meals a day prepared with ingredients that are good for the body. I mix a variety of exercises.
I ate a lot of different things. I mean, I lived life to the fullest. In the past I was always trying to lose weight and was constantly on a restrictive diet, which meant there were things I couldn’t eat. I was always hungry… For example, I always wondered why I could never eat to my heart’s content when eating well, sleeping well, and pooping well are the most essential parts of anyone’s life. So… I found joy in eating. I fell in love with looking for recipes and cooking them. It’s so funny. Inevitably, eating a lot made me gain weight.
