Perseverance. That's Enough.
I'm 18 years old and a few years ago I was the slimmest, skinniest, lightest person almost all the time and to be honest, 90% of the time, I loved it. Recently I've gained a bit more weight than I'm comfortable with and I've started this blog to help me lose some weight and stay on track healthily to sustainably reach my goal weight and hopefully help anyone else who's trying to do the same!
I just want to love my body.
I love God

Almost at GW2! Lost a kilo in such a strange way!
I was the same weight for a while and had a week of just eating normally (indulging quite a lot to be honest) then this week I started eating less and shifting calories and now I am 1kg (2.2 pounds) less. :)
I don’t know if anyone else is brave enough to try eating normally for a week then shifting calories for a week, LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES! I’d love to hear some feedback.
Just because I’d been (sorta) counting cals - This is what I ate for the past (roughly) 2 weeks:
week 1:
2020, 2600, 1715, 1524, 2900, 2500, 2800
week 2:
2500, 953, 1813, 924, 2698, 918, 1911, 991
