My father confonted me about my weight gain. After that conversation, I decided I was not going to keep buying bigger clothes and decided to change my eating habits.
How Have Your Eating Habits Changed Since Beginning Your Journey? What Did You Eat Before And What Are You Eating Now?

After, home cooked meals made with whole foods. I prep my meals to take the "thinking" out of eating.

Now I workout 5-6 days a week because I care about my current and long-term health.

Any Advice and/or Words of Wisdom to Share
Sustainable weight loss requires behavioral change.
If you're serious about long-term change, you must be willing to reflect and act on the changes you need to make.
Perfection is not the goal, rather an honest assessment of how you can change to make healthier choices.
