I Jump Like A Mountain Goat: How I Lost 40 Pounds And Now I Can Do Almost Anything

“I am 33 years old, I work as a masseuse. After I could no longer walk with my husband in the mountains, I decided to lose weight – and got rid of 40 kilograms.

I tried to do this for years and nothing worked. Probably because I was constantly finding excuses not to stick to the diet: family vacations, “I was well behaved all week”… Of course, after interrupting the diet, I did not return to it. .

In the end, I decided I just didn’t have the willpower – and I had to accept that. She told her husband, “It will always be like this, I can’t change anything”, although he never said a word about it.

When I got to 110 kilograms, the problem arose, as they say, growing. My husband and I went hiking in the mountains and I was suffocated in just half an hour. My legs hurt terribly and my husband had to call the park staff to help me. I have never felt such humiliation!

The next day, I was determined to change. I found successful women on social media, asked and got help, even took an online course on proper nutrition. I was not sure if it was worth spending the money, but the course author was looking for those who would like to take it and share their impressions – I immediately agreed.

The rules were simple: there are foods allowed, you can only eat them for three weeks. In fact, it was a variation of a restrictive diet, but there was no need to count calories, and the list went on. This is how I discovered that I have a bad digest of gluten and dairy products.

At the end of this course, I lost 7 kilos and I shared my impressions. Then she continued to eat well, but without strict restrictions – and saw the result, which inspired new feats.

Breakfast: egg whites, vegan lentil quinoa burger, cheese.

Lunch: chicken with unsalted dressing, brown rice and vegetables.

Dinner: Turkey or beef with cheese, broccoli, whole grain pasta.

Snacks: nuts, eggs, rice cakes.

At first I didn’t train at all, because I just didn’t have the strength. Then I signed up for a beginner’s course and started studying at home. And, as often, she got involved.

Now I train 4-5 times a week and feel a huge boost of energy. Sometimes I just find interesting activities on the Internet and try new exercises.

Reducing salt intake has become essential for me. I often had stomach pains, and after restricting salt and adding water to the diet, I was fine.

The training helped me a lot. Now I can walk safely with my husband in all conditions! We repeated and extended the walk in the mountains – and I didn’t even lose my breath. My husband said that now I am easy going, like a mountain goat.

I got rid of cravings for harmful foods and almost stopped eating poorly digested things.

Suddenly, I lost 40 kilos and I feel much better. I can safely catch up with the kids and climb the stairs with a 20 liter water bottle. I started to feel a lot better about myself, and everyone around me noticed!
