Over the course of three years, Boyce lost more than 110 pounds the old-fashioned way: through healthy eating and exercise.
At a news conference after the Miss South Carolina pageant, she held up a pair of faded blue, size-18 jeans she used to wear.
You know, her weight reached the highest, that’s 234 pounds, when she was 17 years old!
Boyce went on an Atkins-type diet, losing 65 pounds. She competed in her high school pageant her senior year, and, even though she was heavier than the rest of the girls, she won.
Her victory was short-lived. Boyce gained the weight back and more. Then she stopped dieting and met with a nutritionist.
She reframed what she ate and why. Instead of looking at food as comfort, she viewed it as fuel. She shopped at the supermarket and learned to cook.
Boyce’s successful weight loss wasn’t a quick one. On the contrary, it took her 3 years to shed the extra pounds!
Her weight-loss success was all about wanting to lose weight, working at it and changing habits.
Eating more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, cutting out out fast food, cooking healthy meals, doing exercises daily, …..
Aren’t they familiar tips given by every health and fitness? ^.^
Quoting what Bree Boyce has said, “There is no secret. If there is one thing that is the secret, it’s hard work.“
