So my childhood dinners consisted of pasta and ramen noodles.<\/p>\n<p>I was always a little chunkier as a kid, but in middle school the weight really started to pile on. I dipped anything and everything in ranch dressing and loved Mountain Dew. My classmates bullied me because of my size, and I began to binge-eat and self-harm in failed attempts to cope. By the time I started high school, I had spiraled into a depression. My weight continued to creep up and I entered high school at 260 pounds.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Initial Spark<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Thankfully, theater helped me find my place in school\u2014and helped me discover that my weight didn\u2019t define my worth. As I started to love who I was on the inside, the more I got the itch to take care of my body and my health.<\/p>\n<p>I first set out to lose weight just before college, though I really didn\u2019t know where to begin. I started running\u2014even if it was just for 15 minutes a day\u2014but my relationship with food still needed work. I limited myself to 800 calories a day and never, ever treated myself. Sure, I lost some weight, but my food restrictions were just a new form of my old self-harm in disguise. I felt exhausted all of the time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Switching Gears<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The more research I did online, the more I realized my strict approach to weight loss couldn\u2019t last. Then a college upperclassman, I upped my calories and decided to focus more on eating natural, whole foods like vegetables and brown rice. I learned about macronutrients\u2014carbohydrates, protein, and fat\u2014and realized my vegetarian diet seriously lacked protein. I started incorporating meat-free proteins like hard-boiled eggs into my diet, and it worked for me.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As I started to love who I was on the inside, the more I got the itch to take care of my body and my health.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The more I fueled my body with healthy foods, the more energy I had to exercise. I set a goal of hitting the gym five days a week, mostly focusing on cardio and doing a little strength training on the side. I didn\u2019t love long bouts on the treadmill, so eventually I switched gears and spent most of my time lifting weights. When I allowed myself to do workouts I actually enjoyed, my gym time turned from a chore into a treat.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"352\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/body-transformation\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2-1.jpg?fit=1030%2C1030&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1030,1030\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2-1.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2-1.jpg?fit=740%2C740&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\" wp-image-352 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c34193.sgvps.net\/~mauricez\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2-2.jpg?resize=492%2C492\" alt=\"nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2\" width=\"492\" height=\"492\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"352\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/body-transformation\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2-1.jpg?fit=1030%2C1030&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1030,1030\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2-1.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2-1.jpg?fit=740%2C740&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\" wp-image-352 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20492%20492%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2\" width=\"492\" height=\"492\" data-src=\"http:\/\/c34193.sgvps.net\/~mauricez\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nicole-hill-transformation-story-additional-2-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>With every weight I lifted and every healthy meal I cooked for myself, I felt my confidence and pride grow.
