I was eating junk food all the time and not doing enough sports
Doubling her water intake
Depressed by this weight gain, Alyssa decided to improve her lifestyle. Instead of her usual two litres of water, she started drinking four litres of water daily, following a doctor's recommendation.
She also monitored her diet and returned to sports, going to the gym six times a week. Alyssa quickly lost weight. After losing ten pounds, Carter asked for her hand in marriage and Alyssa agreed.
Marriage boosting her motivation
Marriage has become a new motivation to put in even more effort. She lost an extra 11lb before her ceremony where she appeared transformed and radiant. She had to resist temptation to radically change her lifestyle, but Alyssa is now completely satisfied.
