what should I do?

Question

So Last year I was working on my weight loss journey but I stopped because nursing school is hard and I would stress eat I recently started it back up.  I was thinking about doing a Instagram just so document my journey through weight loss and school. I already have a Instagram. So has anyone ever done a weight loss Instagram and can anyone give me any tips on weight loss?

Answer

Weight loss has to become a way of life or else it doesn't work. Or you lose the weight gain it back lose it again. But if it becomes a way of life you will lose weight and maintain a healthy weight from there. You have to find what works for you. My recommendation is not to give up everything at once bc when you do first couple days you're excited n it works but then the cravings hit or give everything up at once and eat clean but allow one cheat meal a week. No guilt. Once you accept healthy eating your cheat meal will become less bad for you as in my experience grease and fast food and other stuff will hurt your stomach. Working out will become routine to a point you can't not do it and you feel guilty skipping a workout. Also I found if I skip one workout I'm more prone to skipping n getting off track. Working out became a stress reliever for me and also the feeling when your done is a high of its own. Esp if you push yourself you can become proud of what you accomplished and how far you have come. It's important to find out what works for you as everyone is different. GL

I'm using my Instagram to help track my fitness, diet, and other things. It really helps. My friends and even people I don't know like my pictures and leave encouraging comments that make me feel motivated to keep going. I never used to be much into social media until I started using it to track my progress towards my goals, now I'm hashtagging and posting pictures of my lunch. Sometimes I feel silly but its fun, and sometimes I inspire others. I was making good progress before but things have really accelerated with my better use of social media. 
Also I've gotten really into bullet journaling and that helps me be more mindful of my routine and make small adjustments for a healthier, happier life. Until I started my journal i didn't realise how little water I was getting in a day. Now that I keep track I have to pee a lot but I am well hydrated and feel better.

Its a way of life. Its not something that comes overnight, it happens in many small steps over time. And it isn't "easy", but if you are truly dedicated to bettering yourself it is "simple" and every little success will bring you much happiness.
