I went on countless diets through the years, starting at age 11-12. My family was incredibly supportive and helped me with every crazy exercise program and diet that I tried. I would lose weight, but gain it all back — plus more — every time I would try to transition to more of a maintenance-type diet.
I tracked my food to make sure I was getting enough protein and calories. I started going to the gym in June 2016 and never stopped. I tried to go at least 4-5 days per week and lift weights for about 45 minutes with 15 minutes of cardio. I’ve always loved to exercise, so the gym became my happy place during this time.
I have learned to love cooking at home; I have a lot of fun meal planning and coming up with new “Madi-friendly” meals that my husband will enjoy as well. It saves us a ton of money and allows me to control what is in my food so I can make sure it’s going to fit my macros and lifestyle. For the most part, I cook all three meals at home every day. It’s taken a lot of practice to feel more confident in the kitchen, but it’s something I truly enjoy now.
