December 2020, I remember seeing a photo of myself and realizing how much weight I had put on. I was in definite denial of exactly how much. The last time I weighed myself the scale showed 210. I imagine I had gone past that number. I was 41 and at that time I felt like that was just how life was going to be as I was getting older. At the beginning of 2021 I had the great opportunity to start this macros program. I had never tracked food before nor had I tried any diet or trend. I was frustrated in the beginning. Tracking and weighing my food just wasn’t clicking for me. I was also not being completely honest in the food I was eating and recording. Which is key to the program. I had to get honest with the program. After getting help from others I started to catch on to tracking. The food I ate slowly changed as did the food I got at the grocery store. Before starting on Macro Me I thought I was eating “healthy”. What I didn’t realize is that I just wasn’t eating correctly, and what I mean is I wasn’t eating enough of one of the macro nutrients the body needs, proteins. My metabolism had been bogged down by inactivity and years of a surplus of carbs and fats. Soon it became a daily game to reach my goals. My body responded and I started seeing the weigh, and specifically body fat percentage, drop. I’ve continued to eat what I like but what I like to eat has changed. I look at food differently, I’m not afraid of food and I enjoy splurging now and then. It has become a lifestyle change! I’ve reach my first major goal but I’m working towards another! I believe in the program 100% and it will work if you work it.
