nan jies weight loss story丨no limits in life miracles will appear
It seems like women spend their whole lives doing one thing:
At 17, they start paying attention to their weight
At 25, they notice their abdomen is no longer flat
At 28, after having a child, they can't find any clothes in their wardrobe that fit
......
No matter how much you don't want to face it
Time always passes neither too fast nor too slow
It doesn't show special favor to anyone

These two sets of comparison photos are really eye-popping, with a destructive power comparable to pepper spray. Today, I'm revealing my own bloody dark history just to tell my dear Codoon friends that the past really doesn't matter. In life, you can start a comeback at any time.
So, what exactly are the secrets that brought me these changes?
Secret 1: Cultivate interest and develop habits
Find interest in exerciseNo matter what kind of exercise you do, if you don't genuinely love it from the bottom of your heart and are just forcing yourself to do it, you might give up quickly.
Many people start losing weight by running, but I didn't like running at first, so I chose skipping rope. I started with ten minutes every morning and gradually increased to half an hour. After a month, I tried running again and found it much easier. Gradually, I developed the habit of exercising and started trying other training methods like weightlifting and high-intensity interval training.
Secret 2: Set clear goals and progress gradually
After developing the habit of exercising, I started setting training goals for myself: get abs in three months, do a handstand in a hundred days, achieve a split in five months, do a push-up in six months, and do a pull-up in a year.
Everyone's situation is different, so I suggeststarting with short-term goals and then gradually making long-term plans.If the goals are too high and unrealistic, it's easy to give up.
Secret 3: Integrate exercise into your life
Many friends say they're tired, have no place to train, or the gym is too far... I just want to say,the reason for all these excuses is that you haven't made up your mind to change..I especially understand mothers; being a mother is very hard, especially in the first few years, but these are not excuses.
No place? Do you have a space the size of a yoga mat?
No time? A workout session lasts no more than an hour.
You spend time scrolling through Douyin, checking WeChat moments, or even daydreaming. I work during the day and take care of my child and help with homework at night, so I get up an hour early every morning to exercise. Later, I found bodyweight exercises weren't enough, so I squeezed in gym time during lunch breaks.
You always say you don't have time to exercise, but if you neglect exercise and get sick, you'll spend more time waiting in line at the hospital.
Exercise not only brings a transformative change to your appearance but also quietly changes you in other ways.People who regularly do aerobic exercise have a 40% lower chance of developing Alzheimer's disease; those who exercise regularly have better cardiovascular and lung function, and stronger bones.
Secret 4: Exercise with family and friends
Family and friends are always the best partners to encourage you. Besides supervising each other to avoid slacking off, you can also discuss exercise experiences and results, and improve your exercise and training methods, helping you reach your goals faster!
Along the way, I found that thosefriends who love exercise are always full of vitality, not competitive, humble, and kind; they have moderate ambition and silently persist.Their exercise spirit inspires me, and my persistence has influenced some friends and family.
The happiest moment is taking my child out to play, and he proudly tells other kids, 'My mom exercises every day and has a great figure.'
Secret 5: Eat not too much, not too little
Like most friends, Sister Nan also struggled between food and slimming down. She tried to lose weight by dieting and could stick to it for a while, but there were always moments of weak willpower, especially when she saw some results from exercising and celebrated with a big meal, only to gain back even more weight.
The body is a precise system, easily disturbed but also capable of self-regulation. If you eat too much, it will initially cause discomfort from stomach acid, but if you consistently eat a bit more, it will adapt and store the excess energy as fat.
If you eat too little for a long time, your body will also adapt to this as normal, but it will enter famine mode, lower your basal metabolic rate, and make it easier to store fat, making you more prone to gaining weight.
So,listen carefully to your body's signals and eat until you're 80% full at each meal.And when you're hungry, don't suppress it; satisfy your needs with high-quality food.
Exercise has brought me not only a change in appearance but also a new perspective on problems. Now, whether it's work or life's troubles, for me, there's nothing a run or a workout can't solve.
Exercise has also honed my willpower. When facing difficulties, I always rise to the challenge and tackle them with a positive and optimistic attitude.
No matter if something seems too late or too early for you, it won't stop you from becoming the person you want to be. This process has no time limit,as long as you want, you can start anytime.
Let's work together to create miracles!
