My Weight Loss Journey: 24 Kilos in 8 Months

Hi, I’m Sarah, and over the past eight months, I’ve lost 24 kilos (53 lbs). My journey was far from easy, but it taught me so much about patience, consistency, and self-love.

My decision to lose weight came from a desire to improve my health. I struggled with low energy, joint pain, and self-doubt. I knew I needed a change, not just for how I looked but for how I felt.

One of my biggest difficulties was battling emotional eating. Food was my comfort, but it was also holding me back. I realized I had to develop healthier coping mechanisms, like journaling, deep breathing, or calling a friend.

My method was simple but effective: balance. I focused on a calorie deficit, exercised regularly, and built sustainable habits. I started with small changes—cutting sugary drinks, cooking at home, and walking daily. Gradually, I added strength training and yoga to my routine.

The scale wasn’t always kind, though. There were weeks when progress stalled, and frustration crept in. But instead of giving up, I reminded myself that this wasn’t about quick fixes. It was about creating a healthier, happier life.

Now, I’m 24 kilos lighter, and my goal is to maintain this healthier weight while embracing my progress. My advice to anyone starting their journey is to focus on small, sustainable changes and never let setbacks derail you. Every step counts, and your future self will thank you.

Weight loss isn’t just about losing kilos—it’s about gaining confidence, strength, and a new appreciation for what your body can achieve. Believe in yourself, and the results will come.
