I've had this post lined up for a while but i've been waiting for the best day to do it and of course it had to be a Tuesday ;) I decided to write this post because I'm seriously proud of myself and I hope it can help those of you who need a little motivation.
I've never been completely happy with my body until recently. For those who don't know me well, I'm am the least sporty person and I seriously love food. But you've got to work hard to achieve your goals and that's what I decided to do 2 years ago.
After 1st year at university in 2014, too much pizza and snacking had taken its toll. I noticed i'd gotten bigger when I started opting for a size 12 rather then my usual at that time, size 10. Although I knew I'd gained a little it wasn't until that summer that I decided to do something. I signed up to a gym at the start of 2nd year and had to weigh myself for the first time in a year and found out i'd gained 10kg.
I started very slowly just working out once a week and ate relatively healthily with homemade meals. No drastic changes to my diet as such. But by keeping track of what I was nibbling on throughout the day I was able to cut out the unnecessary bits, such as fizzy drinks and sides/sauces with meals.
After christmas was when I started getting more serious and began a 3 day-a-week routine at the gym and cut out snacking and unhealthy foods almost completely. In just 3 months from Christmas to Easter I began to notice a significant difference. After that my workouts got more intense and I learnt to balance between healthy and unhealthy, because if eating cookies in bed makes you happy you gotta listen to your heart.

I am now the smallest i've ever been at a size 6/8 and actually enjoy going to the gym. But I do want to make a very big point to say you don't have to cut out every bad thing you eat, as long as you keep relatively healthy most of the time you can have snacks and eat out, it's just all about balance.
