My Weightloss Journey

Don’t you ever get the feeling of eating something sweet without the guilt? Well, I do it all the time. So I gave myself the task of finding a healthy (and easy after all) recipe for that craving. Sure I did and I really wanted to share it with you guys. I also did the math and they’re only 66 calories and 7.1 grams of protein each! Isn’t it amazing? So there it goes:

10 portions

- 6 egg whites (I’m using the ones from the carton)

- 1 tsp vanilla

- 1 tsp Stevia

- 1 tsp cinammon 

- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

- 1 cup rolled oats (I’m trying to use natural, they say Quaker’s are transgenic)

- 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa (optional, it only adds 2 calories more).

Instructions. 

Add ingredients in blender in order listed. Blend until no lumps remain. Pour 1/4 cup into hot pan. Wait for bubbles to appear and edges to set; flip and cook until they’re done in the center. Enjoy! 

Aaah! One more thing, since I don’t eat them all at the moment, I store them in the fridge and reheat them whenever I want more... Trust me: children love them!

This is my story, my journey. This is not a fairy tale, but it does finish with a happy ending. I was overweight my whole life, and at a certain point I hit obesity. I was unhappy, unhealthy and my self esteem was on the ground. I had no friends and very few goals in life, until I decided to make a change: love myself, treat me with respect and dedicate to be the person I wanted to be. So I did. Fortunately I had the support of my sister who was a very important part in this process, without her, all this would’ve been harder or nearly impossible. I started on my heaviest when I was around 90 kg and today I’m a healthy woman of 54.5 kg. It was hard, it took me awhile but I finally reached the top of the moon. 

Esta es mi historia, mi viaje. Esto no es un cuento de hadas, pero sí tiene un final feliz. Yo tuve sobrepeso toda mi vida y en un cierto punto alcancé la obesidad. Era infeliz, nada saludable y mi autoestima estaba por los suelos. No tenía amigos y muy pocas metas en la vida hasta que decidí cambiar: amarme a mi misma, tratarme con respeto y dedicarme a ser la persona que siempre quise ser. Así que lo hice. Afortunadamente contaba con el apoyo de mi hermana, quien fue una importante pieza en este proceso, sin ella, todo esto hubiera sido mucho más difícil e incluso imposible. Lo más que llegué a pesar fueron alrededor de 90 kg y hoy, soy una mujer saludable de 54.5 kg. Fue difícil, me tomó algo de tiempo pero finalmente alcancé los cuernos de la luna.
