An Australian nurse transformed her health, made a simple change to her diet routine, and incorporated daily walks to lose weight. She has shed almost 45 kg.
Ms. Samantha Abreu, a 25-year-old nurse from Melbourne, Australia, has struggled with her weight since she was young. Ms. Abreu weighed over 110 kg and wore a size 22/24 at her heaviest. She transformed her health through daily walks and mindful eating.
As per Mirror, Ms. Abreu would often binge eat and would fill up on cereal and toast after dinner. She added that she would also struggle during work to complete her 10-hour shifts due to exhaustion.
But the COVID-19 lockdown was a turning point for her. Ms. Abreu was distraught; she didn't want to turn like some elderly patients she would see in the hospital who wouldn't be able to walk after a fall. She started going for daily walks for her mental health and realized it was a "blessing" for her mindset and body.
Slowly, Ms. Abreu started practicing portion control, reduced the size of her meals, and dropped almost 45 kg in one year.
She told SWNS.com that now she views food as fuel.
By making a small change to her diet, Ms. Abreu simply reduced how much she ate. For example, she would make a wrap pizza instead of a pizza as a healthier version.
Ms. Abreu posted her natural weight loss journey and diet plan on TikTok.
She further added, "It’s lovely looking stronger. I hope other people can see themselves in me and realize they can slowly start implementing change; that’s all I want".
