I’ve lost 10 kg over the past year, and it never felt like one of those dramatic before-and-after stories. It was just a bunch of small, almost boring decisions that slowly added up.
After 8 p.m. I stopped using food as entertainment. If I wasn’t truly hungry, I’d have water or herbal tea and call it a night. Every single day I walked 30–40 minutes—rain, shine, tired, whatever; I just grabbed my headphones and went. Weekends were free-for-all eating days, but I started listening to my body and stopping when I felt satisfied instead of stuffed.
The real payoff wasn’t the scale—it was the extra energy, clothes that actually fit again, stairs that no longer hurt my knees, and sleeping deeply for the first time in years.
No extreme diets, no gym I paid for and never used. Just a couple of sustainable habits I didn’t hate. If you’re thinking of starting, pick one tiny thing you can live with (a short daily walk, cutting out mindless evening snacks, anything). Stick with it. Half a year later you’ll look back and wonder how those little changes carried you so far.
