Lauren’s 30th Birthday Gift to Herself Was a Better Life

劳伦·凯兹(Lauren Keizur)临近30岁生日,决定2016年将成为她健康的一年。但是减轻她的体重只是她计划的一部分。她知道自己还必须照顾自己的心理健康,了解身心健康之间的紧密联系。这位俄勒冈人以来就一直在抑郁症中挣扎,她十几岁,在13岁时被双相情感障碍误诊。

“I think they took normal teenage angst and mood swings, and misdiagnosed it as bipolar,” she says. Because her prescribed medication was for the wrong illness, it only made her feel worse.

她说,她试图在没有药物的情况下控制自己的抑郁症,但“一切都在上下,”她说。有时,她被自己的思想所消耗了几天。

作为修复健康计划的一部分,Keizur寻求精神科医生的帮助。这次,她被正确诊断出患有季节性抑郁症和经前烦躁不安,这是一种严重的PMS。

“这完全不同。我觉得自己像个普通人。”

Her new diagnosis — and the right treatment plan — was life-changing.

“It’s completely different,” says Keizur. “I feel like a normal person.”

旅途的第一步是使自己的心理健康保持正轨,但Keizur并没有止步于此。在315磅的情况下,她经历了携带过量体重的一些副作用。

她说:“我什至还没有30岁,我的腿部疼痛也很严重,而且我的体重疼痛。”

She resolved to start the year — and her 30s — eating better, walking outside 3–4 days a week and logging her food onMyFitnessPal. Since her first day of logging into the app on January 10, 2016, she hasn’t missed a day.

当Keizur过去试图减肥时,她将节食视为牺牲。在她看来,节食不一定是关于健康的。这主要是关于限制她吃的东西。她承认:“如果我搞砸了,我觉得已经结束了。”

但是,这次她采取了不同的方法。她不仅会限制食物摄入量,还将健康的食物添加到饮食中,并专注于吃均衡的饭菜,例如墨西哥卷饼碗,鸡肉和蔬菜以及带鳄梨吐司的鸡蛋。

Over time, her workouts progressed, too. She went from walking a few times a week to hiking with her husband and playing Xbox Kinect games, like “Dance Central.” Eventually, she added strength training and even running to the mix. Recently, she achieved a huge milestone: running 5 minutes straight without walking.

Keizur’s hard work paid off. She shrunk to 214 pounds, and her friends and family took notice. They were stunned by her progress when they saw her at a family wedding earlier this year. One of Keizur’s co-workers at Fred Meyer, a grocery chain in the Pacific Northwest, even nominated her for the company’s wellness award.

凯兹尔说:“毫无疑问,她写了一篇关于我的减肥旅程以及如何启发她并将其发送给她的文章。”由于她的同事提名(以及Keizur的辛勤工作),她被任命为该地区的健康冠军。

Keizur的减肥狗万体育买球万博彩票下载安卓也激发了其他人的动力。她的妈妈陶尼亚(Taunia)也曾在体重上挣扎,他最近在社交媒体上看到了一张照片,并决定她可以效仿女儿的榜样。

她说:“我向她展示了如何使用MyFitnesspal。”Taunia随后在健身房发送自己的照片使Keizur感到惊讶。这个家庭迅速在他们的健康上投入了全部投资。

Keizur是减肥成功的关键?她的美军nity, she says. She connected with people on Reddit and Instagram to trade tips and support. She says she’s made some good friends through the social media sites and even plans on meeting up with some of them in real life.

“It’s insane,” Keizur says about her weight loss. “I never thought I would be this close to 200 pounds.”

不过,她最大的支持者是她的丈夫,她以任何规模都爱她。而且,以真正的家庭方式,他也开始变得更健康,体重减轻了约40磅。

但是Keizur的故事不仅仅在于减肥。万博彩票下载安卓狗万体育买球这是关于设定健康的目标并致力于实现目标。这是关于您可以做的所有事情的爱。Keizur证明您可以做任何事情。
