Here Are The Exact Steps I Took To Lose 40 Pounds In 4 Months

SPANISH TRANSLATION: Pasos Exactos Para Perder 40 Libras En 4 Meses

My story starts out the same as the story of just about every American. I loved staying in and having Netflix marathons while eating pizza, chips, candy and other junk foods. I often went out for lunch at work, and would stop at the drive through on my way home for dinner. I’d get stressed out and eat an ice cream sundae to make myself feel better. I never exercised and I was eating too much of the wrong types of foods. The weight came on so slowly that I didn’t realize it was happening until I stepped on the scale one day and was horrified by what I saw. 267 pounds.

Getting Motivated
You might think that that seeing those numbers on the scale would spark an immediate change. Instead, it sent me spiraling into a depression. I made myself a giant plate of nachos, dripping with melted cheese. For breakfast. Needless to say, there were no big changes in my life. In my head, though, I knew something had to change.

I then ran into an old friend from high school. He had been a tall, scrawny guy back then, but now he was really buff. He told me that he had gotten really into exercise a few years back. He got addicted to the feeling of euphoria he felt after a workout and the body just came along with that. I wondered if the same thing could happen to me.

Exercise
Luckily, I got a free gym membership through my employer. I was so nervous the first day I went there to work out. I thought that everyone would stare at me and think that I was disgusting. That’s how I felt. With my head held high, I stepped on the treadmill and went for a walk. It was hard. I got out of breath and I was sweating a ton. I pushed through, though, and at the end of my workout, I was feeling pretty good about myself. I had survived. Even though my muscles were sore, I went back the next day and the next. It became a habit. I also lost a few pounds, but the weight wasn’t coming off as fast as I liked.
