She advised not to play sports through force, replacing activities with walking. The paramedic also added that it is important to eat slowly and not overeat.
“Take photos of all the food you eat. Then you will have a much better understanding of how much you eat in a day,” she noted. “Try not to go on a diet, but to change your lifestyle. This will make it much easier for you to stick to the rules that you choose for yourself.”
Birdie also drew attention to breakdowns and overeating, assuring that they do not affect the final result.
“If you want to eat that cake, eat it and you don’t have to punish yourself for it, you don’t have to work through it later. And if you perceive such things normally, the result will be much faster,” she said.
The bird also showed how it has changed, having lost excess weight.
