She Lost 215 Pounds With This Mantra: ‘Weight Loss Isn’t Linear’

As if being a mother of twins wasn’t hard enough, Roxanne Crozier was finding it harder and harder to make time to take care of herself. At the beginning of last year, she was knee-deep in looking after her 2 year olds and paying less attention to her own health as her habits had slipped. At her peak, she weighed 360 pounds.

当大大的健康恐慌促使她按下重置按钮时,一切都改变了。

One day, in January 2016, the Springfield, Missouri-based stay-at-home mom noticed a strange rash on the back of her hand. After Googling frantically to identify the cause, she quickly became convinced that it was a sign of diabetes, which runs in her family — her father and maternal grandmother have Type II diabetes, as did her late uncle. Crozier was 28 at the time and was afraid she would be diagnosed next. That was enough of a scare to make a change.

她的策略是咨询互联网以获取最佳食品应用程序,她发现的大多数资源都将MyFitnessPal确定为最爱。因此,克罗泽尔(Crozier)冒险,立即理解了好处。她很快发现自己习惯了记录食物摄入量的习惯。这并不容易 - 她知道自己的饮食习惯需要重新考虑 - 但她将其用作日常动机和专注的工具。她开始进入自己的食谱,这使她可以相对确定地知道每餐中有狗万买球网址多少卡路里。

她解释说:“一旦我在应用程序中加了标准餐,我就不必担心跟踪数学。”

当克罗泽(Crozier)开始对食物做出更明智的决定时,体重开始减轻,但更大的挑战是改变了她的习惯,她承认这是她体重的原因。

One was accountability. Whereas she really had no system at the outset, she made a decision to crowd-source her choices to keep her honest. She began to take photos of all her meals and posted them in various Facebook groups.

她解释说:“将我的食物放在盘子上,反过来又使我注意吃饭,并真正[使我]对我的饮食和多少进行思考。”“你先用眼睛吃饭。我能够真正放慢脚步,并考虑所吃的食物中的营养,因为我吃了住而不是活着吃。它有助于减轻压力,因为我在吃饭后没有留下图表,或者不小心超越了卡路里范围。”

Her husband also helped keep her focused, going so far to diet with her (and losing 90 pounds of his own) and playing “guinea pig,” and she puts it, with the recipes she tweaked to make them healthier.

另一个新的习惯是承诺运动。在过去的九个月中,她一直在朋友的帮助下作为锻炼伙伴的帮助,这有助于使她保持坚强。对于Crozier来说,它就像步行一样简单。她说她是从“沿着车道驶下然后回去的,现在是一个朋友,我走了4–9, or more, miles twice a week.”

Finally, she took control of her urges. Whereas previously she would give in to her cravings, she developed a new strategy to control the hunger.

“If the need to binge comes over me, I remind myself how far I’ve come and how much I do not want to [be at] my previous weight,” she says. “I also remind myself that it’ll be ‘a minute on the lips but longer on the hips.’”

如果她有任何卡路里可消耗的卡路里,她可能会沉迷于饼干或小冰淇淋中,而且还没有使她脱轨。当这些时刻出现时,她还可以保留更健康的小吃版本。

如今,克罗泽尔(Crozier)减掉了215磅,最近达到了145的进球重量。这是一个了不起的旅程(她已经记录了她的Instagram帐户),但并非没有障碍。她最大的挑战是在她踏上规模而体重上升而不是下降的日子里。

她回忆说:“我为平衡自己的食物和锻炼而做了很多工作,在体重一天中,这个数字可能仍然更大。”“相反,现在我走了我的衣服的身材,我的感觉,如果秤说些烦人的话,我只是伸出舌头,去度过一天。”

Crozier considers herself lucky to have had support from family, local friends and the remote pals she’s made on social media. MyFitnessPal was just a part of it — she credits it with helping take the guesswork out of keeping a food diary. But the big revelation was that losing weight isn’t a zero-sum game.

她说:“在此过程中,我意识到减肥不是线性的,它会有起伏,而且我不狗万体育买球万博彩票下载安卓应该把太多的库存投入规模上。”

If you’re wondering about the rash, that ended up fine, too. Crozier got herself checked out and it turned out it was just a skin irritation from cold air. “I’m glad I was paranoid enough to think it was something worse, though,” she says, “or I wouldn’t be where I am.”

她今天的位置是她最大的胜利:她上个月满30岁,她的人生状况最好。
