Budúca nevesta po prezeraní zásnubných fotiek zvolila drastické riešenie: Totálna zmena výzoru!

Keď ju jej priateľ Matt Smith požiadal o ruku v júli 2015, netušila, ako veľmi sa život zmení. Po prezeraní fotiek najšťastnejšieho momentu jej života sa však cítila strašne. Kvôli hrôze z váhy a svojej veľkosti odmietla dať akúkoľvek fotku na internet.

„Na tých fotkách som sa nespoznávala. Veľmi som sa za seba hanbila a bolo mi trápne,“ začala 24-ročná Haley z Texasu. „Skutočne som chcela zmenu, lebo tak ako na zásnubách som sa nechcela cítiť aj v svoj svadobný deň.“

#transformationtuesday I've been asked to post my story a couple of times, so here goes. The left picture was on my proposal day on July 18, 2015, and the right was my bridal shower on August 6, 2016. When Matt proposed last year, I saw my pictures and didn't even recognize myself. My whole adult life, I have struggled with my weight, but this was my highest. I had let myself go and didn't even realize how far I had gotten. On that day, I made up my mind to make a change. I was tired of hiding in pictures, getting winded walking across a parking lot, skipping out on activities, feeling lazy, and most of all being embarrassed of myself. No ONE thing made me how I am today. It was a combination of about every health and fitness option I could find. So don't think there's some magic pill, wrap, gym membership, meal, vitamin, app, surgery, diet, workout, waist trainer, book, hypnosis, shake, powder or anything else that will just do it for you. It's finding your own way and using the tools that work for you. It's making the right healthy choices for your body. In the last year, I've made some big life choices and huge lifestyle changes, and I couldn't be more happy with myself. I still have a long way to go on this journey, and I'm not giving up. #beforeandafter #motivation #weightloss #weightlossjourney #proposal #bridalshower

Pri výške 177cm vážila až 125 kilogramov. Problém s váhou pritom mala dlhodobo. Už ako dieťa mala trochu nadváhu, no na vysokej škole sa poriadne spustila. „Kúpila som si čokoľvek, na čo som mala chuť. Jedla som vždy, keď som bola smutná, znudená, vystresovaná alebo šťastná a chcela som niečo osláviť,“ priznala sa Haley.

Dostalo sa to do štádia, keď to ovplyvňovalo aj jej život. Rýchlo bola bez dychu, vyhýbala sa plážam a miestam, kde by bola čo i len trochu odhalená. „Často ma bolela hlava a celé telo. No najhorší bol pot – ten zo mňa doslova tiekol.“

Po zásnubách sa rozhodla zmeniť život. Obmedzila nezdravé a mastné jedlá, do stravy pridala viac zeleniny a ovocia. „Začala som malými cieľmi. Trochu som obmedzila jedlo a začala behávať. Najprv len dva krát týždenne a postupne som pridávala aj cvičenie.“

So today I woke up to a new low weight - 165.7. I've been stuck around 168-172 for 2 months. I am posting this to tell y'all that weight loss isn't all predictable. As y'all know, I get married this weekend, so for the last week or two, I've really tried to buckle down! I was giving it my all in workouts (most days - hah), logging food and making healthier choices than usual, but I just couldn't break 168.1. Then Monday and Tuesday, wedding prep got the best of me, so we didn't cook at home, and I had a splurge meal last night. And what do I wake up to? Losing 2.4lbs. It makes no dang sense. So when you are feeling discouraged because there is no progress on the scale, give it time! It's not all about numbers. Cheat meals aren't the answer of course, but trust in the process, keep working and be patient!

Teraz váži 74 kilogramov a je so sebou úplne spokojná. „Svadba bola krásna. Mohla som mať šaty, v ktorých som vyzerala skvelo, nie len tie, do ktorých by som sa vošla,“ dodala Haley pre today.com.

Sorry it took so long to get a picture up! Matt and I actually have ZERO full body pictures of us alone or of just me. 🙄🙄 We have to wait until we get back to get a picture of us together from the photographer, but even from them, there are NO pictures of just me in the dress haha. So if you are getting married, be sure your photographer, family and friends remember to get pictures of just YOU and just YOU and your HUSBAND!! Because unfortunately we didn't, and that sucks haha. So here are pictures from my bridal shots the week before the wedding! I'll post another shortly, and when I get the pictures of Matt and I in like 3 weeks, I'll post that! So until then, I'll post random wedding pictures, and of course, my adventure in New Zealand, starting in Queenstown today! #smithsquared #octoberbride #maggiesottero #maggiesotterobride #bridalpictures #newzealand #honeymoon #queenstown #milfordsound
