Ever been tagged in an unflattering Facebook photo? Unfortunately, it’s happened to many of us, but for one Facebook user the shocking tag led her to embark on a stunning weight loss journey.
According to Women’s Health, it all started when Natasha’s mom tagged her in a series of unflattering holiday photos.View this post on InstagramA post shared by NATASHA PEHRSON (@natashapehrson) on
“I remember after going to several holiday parties with my family, I got a Facebook notification that my mom had tagged me in almost a hundred photos,” Natasha, who shares her weightloss journey on social media under the user name @fitmomtasha, told Women’s Health. “My first reaction was that I needed to untag myself ASAP before anyone could see them. As I was untagging pictures without even looking at them, I realized that this was not normal or healthy. I didn’t want to continue living my life with this much insecurity.”
Natasha decided then and there to adopt a healthier lifestyle – and the change led her to lose a whopping 60 pounds in weight.View this post on InstagramA post shared by NATASHA PEHRSON (@natashapehrson) on
“I picked up a Beachbody home workout DVD, started drinking a gallon of water every day, and eating lots of vegetables and lean proteins,” Natasha revealed. “Within one month of being consistent, I lost 12 pounds and felt *amazing.* Seeing that my new habits were actually working for me motivated me to keep going. Within six months I lost 50 pounds and was in the best shape of my life. I was so proud and had a newfound confidence. I became the friend planning trips to the beach.”
Natasha told Women’s Health her biggest change is the amount of water she drinks every day. “I drink at least a gallon every single day. This helps me stay hydrated, feel less hungry, and have more energy,” Natasha explains.
Along with healthy eating, Natasha also works out six days a week for 30 minutes each day by doing Beachbody on Demand workouts from home.View this post on InstagramA post shared by NATASHA PEHRSON (@natashapehrson) on
“Over the years I’ve completed almost every Beachbody program there is,” Natasha told Women’s Health. “I especially love the cardio, weight lifting, and dance workouts.”
“If you have a lot of weight to lose, be mentally prepared to be on your weight-loss journey for several months, even years,” advises Natasha. “There’s nothing wrong with that at all; you’re trying to make permanent lifestyle changes here. Results do not happen overnight, and you have to remind yourself of that when you get discouraged.”
