If someone asks you how long it will take to lose 51 kilograms of weight, what are you going to answer? Well, I’ve got an exact answer, it will only take 6 months if you’re strong-willed. Sure, you may be shocked, but it was made possible by this 22-year-old student /model/actress Joanna Joseph.
If you are overweight and want to lose those excess pounds, you must read Joanna Joseph’s inspirational and motivational fat-loss tale.
And instead of signing up for a gym, she started running and started going for two-hour runs every night in the fields near her house.
She started to lose weight and eventually reached a trim 8st 3lbs.
But even then, jokes continued to be made, according to Joanna. “Even when I lost so much weight, everyone used to tease me saying I took drugs and I was a “Dr*g addict,” and more, so I decided to just let it go,” she said.
Joanna was a child who was overweight and was always harassed and shamed by the body. She chose one day to have it enough and changed her life that day.
Even my own friends used to bully me daily because I was overweight and likely appeared ugly in their views. My life was unhappy because of my own family.
I endured torture from the time I was 12 till the time I was 16 when I finally made the decision to take matters into my own hands because I knew that if I didn’t act, I would remain the same forever.
“To get to where I am now, I had to push myself and make many sacrifices in life.
“When I noticed the changes, I started to like what I saw.”
Without going to the gym, maintaining a healthy diet, or using any medicine, it was just hard work. And now here I am.
She decided to live a healthy lifestyle and her routine included exercise.
Joanna follows a strict diet plan consisting of a cup of orange juice, some fruits and two slices of whole-meal buttered bread for breakfast, brown rice with healthy side dishes such as steamed chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, lunch salad and chapati with some curry and vegetables for dinner.
Unlike other fitness freaks Joanna did not give up her favourite meals, the next day she enjoys something she likes and works out more.
Joanna says she remembers the time when people used to laugh at her for her weight whenever she feels demotivated. She keeps her old bad feelings running.
She has come a long since her childhood and now there is no turning back.
She struggled with bullies when she was younger and endured continual bullying for her weight from classmates and family members. She then made the decision to reduce weight and set herself the goal of transforming from obese to fit. She lost a staggering 51 kg. Furthermore, Joanna, who endured body shaming throughout her youth, is now a popular model and actress.
After winning the Miss Selangor Earth competition two years ago, she went on to become a highly sought-after model and placed second in the Miss India Worldwide competition this year.
People find it difficult to believe she is the same girl from the images because of her remarkable makeover.
Joanna, who was encouraging others, said: “If I can do it, tell me why you can’t.
It all comes down to mindset.
Your objectives. Try it out. Show everyone that you are more than they are assuming you to be.
