How To Lose 100 Pounds

There were many more tips but again the medication I take for my mental health disorders deprives me of my memory sometimes, Sorry! I was very grateful for everything she was teaching me but unfortunately after only 3 months of training with her and only 25 pounds down, I could no longer afford her services. However, I had to do something, though; because there is no way I could let all of my hard work be for nothing.

Thankfully during those 3 months I had continued to take the GNC 100 Billion Probiotics every day, so continuing to eat Healthy became a breeze. I no longer wanted any form of fast food. Instead, I craved things like cranberry walnut salads and grilled chicken with wild rice. I even went from being one of those people that have a little coffee with their sweetened creamer, to having a little half-n-half (no sugar) with my coffee. I was feeling empowered and like maybe I might just hit my goal of 100 pounds down if I kept at it. I’ll be honest again, I HATE EXERCISE so that basically went out the window after I lost my trainer. I just decided that I was going to continue taking my probiotics and sticking to my diet plan and before I knew it I was 60 pounds down.

Now it’s about June of 2014 and we are moving from the high desert of Southern California to the beautiful mountains of Southern Utah. The exercise started to become apart of my life again via hiking trails and just being out in nature. I stuck to my diet, cheating ever so often and continued with the probiotics. Overall I was doing pretty good. It’s crazy (no pun intended) how easy it got to stick to what was no longer a diet but a way of life.

Over the course of the next year, I went through all of my mental health issues (Maybe I’ll talk about it another time) and was prescribed medication that seriously messed with my appetite. I was either not hungry and having to force myself to eat or too hungry and having to take an appetite suppressant (Garcinia Cambogia) along with my probiotics. From the beginning of this whole journey, I doubted that I would ever lose 100 pounds and meet my goal. I was so used to just giving up when things got hard, especially when it got mentally hard because of my mental health disorders. In June of 2015, I stepped on the scale and finally saw the number I had been waiting for, 160 pounds. So how do you lose 100 pounds? Hard work, dedication, GNC 100 billion probiotics and some simple easy tips that eventually turn into a way of life.

The purpose of this entire blog is to show people with or without mental health disorders that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. Most of the battles with weight loss are mental and if I can get past that block, then so can you. My name is Jade Harris and I have mental health disorders but my mental health disorders do not have me. I am achieving my dreams and goals while living with my disorders. I lost 100 pounds and I can honestly say I am proud of myself for that achievement.

DISCLOSURE: I am in no way shape or form implying that you are not beautiful, unhealthy or incapable at your current weight. I believe that people come in all shapes and sizes and if you are comfortable with your body then that’s all that matters. Losing 100 pounds was just a personal goal of mine that I achieved; Mental health disorders and all. I also understand that all mental health disorders are different and that we go through periods of time where things like goals don’t really matter. I encourage people to push themselves when they can but also to know your limits when necessary.
