Weight loss is a journey of healing the soul: Yuanxi and Xiuren share their weight loss experiences and secrets.

One day I went shopping, actually just standing outside looking, when the shop assistant actually asked me to come in and try on clothes! I was shocked because this would never have happened before. Now, I can actually fit into size M shirts and dresses! It's amazing, I can't even express how moved I am, and this became the impetus for me to keep trying to lose weight, no matter how tired I am. Whenever I have free time, I put on my sneakers and go for a walk, incorporating the exercises mentioned in the book into my daily life. In the first month of my weight loss journey, my husband didn't call me much, but in the second month he called every day, making me feel his unease. As a woman, the love my husband showed me made me extremely happy; at my daughter's kindergarten, the mothers asked me more questions. They consulted me online about weight loss, and thanks to this, a weight loss trend started to sweep through my circle. They all said they were inspired after seeing me. But what shocked me the most was the change in my family. We simply replaced rice with brown rice and ate apples and yogurt for breakfast, and my husband lost 5 kilograms, while my mother lost 3 kilograms. They didn't exercise, yet they still lost weight! Not only me, but many happy things happened around me, so I had to work even harder to lose weight. My goal is to become like Quan Meizhen, and I'm currently halfway there. Although the "Slim Girl" plan has ended, my weight loss plan is just beginning. I will continue to practice and cherish everything I've achieved. I want to share my heartfelt gratitude from being a "Slim Girl" with more people and share my weight loss journey with them. I hope no one will suffer because of "fat" anymore. From now on, I will work even harder until my weight starts in the 5s, and I will keep striving! Now, losing weight has become my daily habit and entertainment. Regarding weight loss, Yuanxi said: What impressed me most during the "Slim Girl" plan? It made me reflect on why I hadn't taken good care of my body. I relied on diet pills and diet foods to lose weight, leading to the "yo-yo effect," leaving me exhausted and in a terrible physical condition. This experience taught me that the body can regulate its own appetite. The "Slimming Girl" program is an effective system for managing "exercise, health, and mental state," which even made me wonder at one point if indulging myself like this was okay. Losing weight with everyone was a happy experience; I never felt tired. When you feel tired and want to give up due to exercise, how do you encourage yourself? I look in the mirror and tell myself, "I want to live a more charming life than I am now," and "Although it's tough now, I will definitely be transformed after this," using this to ignite my fighting spirit. I also contact friends who didn't make the cut, encouraging each other and working together for everyone. When adjusting my diet feels tiring, how do I control my inner glutton? When I'm too hungry, I wait 10 minutes to confirm whether I'm truly hungry or just craving something. If I still want to eat, I drink water and green tea; if I'm still very hungry, I eat cucumbers and cherry tomatoes and hypnotize myself, "I've eaten, so I don't need to eat anymore," and "If I just hold back now, I can enjoy more things," using this kind of self-hypnosis to overcome my weak willpower. What unique techniques do you use to cope with plateaus? Although I eat the same diet meals every day, I try to find joy in the process by slightly changing the cooking methods, the plates, or the vegetables to create personalized diet meals, reducing the stress of adjusting my diet. If exercise feels too strenuous, I tell myself, "This will eventually pass! Enjoy it!" and then work even harder and more focused on losing weight. Because of my work, I cook every day, so I'm often tempted by food. Whenever this happens, I tell myself, "I've eaten all of these," and "I gained weight because of these foods," and I tell myself to persevere. Can you recommend some exercise or weight loss tips for those who say "I don't have time"? These days, due to childcare, housework, and work, I really haven't had time to exercise. But after becoming a "slim girl," I realized that saying I don't have time to exercise is just an excuse. Despite being busier than ever, my exercise time has increased. Even while waiting for the subway, I repeatedly do tiptoe exercises; whenever there's space to lean back, I do crunches. You can exercise anytime you commute. What am I most proud of during my weight loss journey? Because I had to juggle work, childcare, and weight loss, I was always chasing after time, but I couldn't neglect any of it. I feel I've never lived so earnestly in my life, and I'm incredibly proud of myself for completing all of it. Weight loss not only heals the body but also the soul. Coach Ahn Jin-pil's comments: Lee Won-hee, who had an extreme aversion to treadmills, possessed excellent willpower in strength training; however, she found aerobic exercise quite challenging and was terrified of adjusting the treadmill's incline. I explained the importance of aerobic exercise to her and readjusted her aerobic training regimen, combining incline adjustments with her sleep schedule, to help her overcome her fear. Finally, she successfully reached a level where she could run 6.5 kilometers in an hour with a 10-degree treadmill incline, a significant improvement. I tried various weight loss methods, but instead of losing weight, I gained more. The first time I met Sister Soo-in, I sensed her frankness and simplicity. When talking about her story, she cried bitterly, seemingly the most heartbroken of all the challengers. She said that her obesity during her school years left a deep scar, and even when she hadn't done anything wrong, she was always timid and lacked confidence, gradually becoming reluctant to interact with others. If she was upset by others, she would always take it out on her mother, leading to frequent arguments and sadness. From a young age, her father always said, "Eat more so you can grow up," and "Eat whatever you can find," which fostered her love of food, as did her family. As she grew older, dinners with friends led to her weight gain. Not to mention social gatherings involving alcohol, where she would frequently attend multiple events. She tried every weight loss method that claimed to work, including the Danish diet, lemon detox, traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and fitness. Even when she did lose weight, it was difficult to maintain, and she would always regain it, sometimes even becoming heavier than before. And so, the more times she tried to lose weight, the more fat she had to shed. After repeated attempts, she reached 92 kilograms. Xiuren is a kindergarten teacher. The children, innocent and naive, would often say hurtful things without thinking, like, "Teacher, why are you so fat?" She also said that children all like pretty and slim teachers, so no matter how good you are to them, the children will always flock to the pretty and slim teacher. Xiuren said her nickname at kindergarten was "Fat Teacher." After becoming a "slim girl," Xiuren completely changed. She used to attend drinking parties from the first to the fifth, but now she only goes to one or two, and she manages to control her intake appropriately. She said that when drinking, she'll have a small drink instead of eating snacks. (Of course, while on the "slim girl" plan, she almost never drinks alcohol.) Her family also stopped saying "eat whatever's available" and reduced the frequency of ordering takeout; the whole family changed their diet together. She said that although the kindergarten children still call her "Fat Teacher," some children ask, "Teacher, have you lost weight?" which makes her very happy. We wish the optimistic Soo-in could become a "Slim Teacher," winning all the children's love! And of course, winning all the men's love too!
