She Explains How She Lost 65 Pounds And Had Fun Along The Slimming Way

Aly Tyghter took one look at a photo of herself at a recent Christmas gathering and decided that enough was enough. She barely recognized herself in the overweight, self-conscious young woman who smiled shyly back at her from the photograph, hiding behind a large scarf and bulky cardigan. Tyghter was mortified and resolved on the spot to shed the extra 50 pounds that plagued her. But where to being? To start, Tyghter took a hard look at her habits and made four big changes that contributed to a remarkable weight loss over the next year and a half.

Tyghter’s first order of business was to go out and purchase a food journal, into which she diligently entered every detail of every bit of food the consumed. This was a smart move: according to studies summarized in the New York Times, what you eat has a much greater impact on physical makeup than other common factors. Not only did Tyghter note every meal and snack, but she also jotted down a few words regarding her emotional state and situations that triggered changes in appetite and mood. By analyzing her blog, Tyghter was able to anticipate cravings and identify patterns cause and effect: for example, she noticed that on days during which she did not eat many vegetables, she felt less satisfied.

Watching what she ate did not necessarily mean depriving herself of foods that she loved. Tyghter continued to have desert every day, but with a few tweaks. For example, Tyghter treated herself to desert daily; however, she opted instead for fruits and other naturally sweetened items. (Baked bananas with nuts and honey was among Tyghter’s go-to snacks.) These satisfied her sweet tooth without adding unhealthy sugars or artificial sweeteners.
