看她如何减掉100磅
Elizabeth Raney had a wake-up call while on maternity leave with her youngest child that kicked off a 100-pound weight loss.
伊丽莎白·兰尼带着最小的孩子休产假时,突然觉醒了,如今,她的体重减轻了100磅。
"I had the whole summer off with my kids and it just kind of hit me that I wasn't able to run around and play with them," said Raney, mom of a 5-year-old, 2-year-old and 1-year-old.
“我整个夏天都和孩子们在一起,我不能到处跑,不能和他们一起玩,这让我有点难受。”兰尼说,她有三个孩子,一个5岁,一个2岁,一个1岁。
"I had no energy and it got to the point where I wasn't giving my kids what they needed."
“我没有什么精力,而且到了我不能给孩子们他们需要的东西的地步。”
That realization prompted Raney, who weighed nearly 300 pounds, to start making healthier choices right away.
这一意识促使体重接近300磅的兰尼立即开始做出更健康的选择。
She resisted doing yet another fad diet and instead made small but impactful changes to her diet that led to big results.
她拒绝再来一轮流行的节食法,而是对她的饮食做了微小但有影响的改变,并取得了巨大的效果。
"I started by not restricting anything but just having smaller amounts of food or choosing healthier options," said Raney, of Missouri.
来自密苏里州的兰尼说:“一开始我不限制吃任何东西,只是吃得更少量或者选择更健康的食物。”
"If I wanted a soda I'd have Coke Zero, and now I don't drink soda at all."
“当我想喝碳酸饮料的时候,我会选择无糖可乐,到现在,我都不怎么喝碳酸饮料了。”
"I tried to have things that are better options so I wasn't restricting and then bingeing," she said.
她说:“我试着做一些更好的选择,这样我就不会限制自己,然后又再暴饮暴食了。
Raney, who described herself as "overweight since middle school," said she had to focus as much on her mindset as she did about what she chose to eat.
兰尼称自己“从中学起就超重”,她说她必须像关注自己的饮食选择一样关注自己的心态。
"It was definitely a mindset change because I've always overeaten and just thought that I was hungry all the time," she said .
她说:“这绝对是一种心态上的改变,因为我总是吃得太多,总觉得自己很饿。”
"I had to ask myself, 'Are you bored and that's why you want to eat? Or are you hungry? Have you eaten recently?'"
“我必须问自己,'你是不是觉得无聊了,所以才想吃东西?还是你真的饿了?你刚刚吃饭了吗?’”
"I also had to change my mindset from just thinking that I needed to lose weight or be skinny to I needed to care for my body and care for myself," Raney added.
“我也必须改变我的思维模式,不再只是想着我需要减肥或变瘦,而是我需要关心我的身体,关心我自己,”兰尼补充道。
"That I needed to be healthy."
“我需要让自己健康起来。”
The 25-year-old full-time bank employee went from eating fast food with her kids frequently to meal prepping and serving her kids the same healthy meals she prepared herself.
这位25岁的全职银行员工以前经常和孩子们一起吃快餐,现在她经常为孩子们准备自己做的健康食品。
"If we want spaghetti for dinner I'll use veggie noodles," said Raney.
“如果晚餐想吃意大利面的话我会选择蔬菜面,”兰尼说道。
"The kids can't tell and it's better for them."
“孩子们吃不出来差别,但是对他们的身体会更好。”
Since starting her weight loss journey around one year ago, Raney has lost just over 100 pounds.
自从大约一年前开始她的减肥之旅以来,兰尼已经减掉了100多磅。
"I'm definitely more confident and I just make healthier choices," she said of her new lease on life.
谈到她的新生活,她说:“我绝对更加自信了,我选择了更健康的生活方式。”
"And now I can go outside and play with my kids. My son has said to me, 'Mommy now you can climb on this with me.'"
“现在我可以出去和我的孩子们玩。我儿子对我说,'妈妈,现在你可以和我一起爬这个了。’”
Raney started documenting her weight loss on Instagram for accountability, and now shares her workouts with her followers too.
为了问责,蕾妮开始在照片墙上记录她的减肥过程,现在她也和粉丝们分享她的锻炼结果。
She exercises in the morning before her kids wake up or at night once her kids are asleep.
她会在孩子醒来之前或晚上孩子入睡后锻炼。
She and her husband take turns watching the kids while the other works out, and if Raney is not able to go to the gym, she will do a no-equipment needed workout at home.
她和丈夫轮流照看孩子,另一个人去健身,如果兰尼不能去健身房,她就在家做一些不需要器械的锻炼。
She wants other moms especially to know that they have to take time to take care of themselves.
她特别想让其他妈妈知道,她们必须花时间照顾好自己。
"If you want to give your kids the life that they want, you have to be healthy too," Raney said.
“如果你想给你的孩子他们想要的生活,你自己也必须健康,”兰尼说道。
