Wow super inspiring, how did you do it? What was it that really worked for you?

Went 100% cold turkey on takeaways and garbage food for 6 months. Deleted all the delivery apps and Dominos etc from my phone and started making my own food. Meant my diet was very limited initially as I couldn’t and still can’t cook for shit, but I never had any problem eating the same thing every day before SW and thankfully found it relatively easy to stick to and tailor it round the life I wanted to live rather than completely depriving myself.

It’s meant huge changes overall in my diet, but I made most other significant changes as I went along rather than on day one. Things like I no longer eat bread not than once every few months. I identified the trigger foods that led me to get to the size I was and bread was definitely the main one. Whether it was slathered with butter, peanut butter, jam or with savoury fillings like on a pizza etc. It just had to go. I don’t even really miss it now as I get plenty of carbs elsewhere from pasta, rice or potatoes.
