But, her weight loss journey didn’t end with her episode on the reality show. she still fights for her health on a daily basis, and now she’s trying to help her fans do the same!

 

 

“Food is fuel, not therapy” said an image posted by Mel recently. Many of her posts encourage followers to think about what’s going in their bodies. She also includes her own daily meals to inspire others and hold herself accountable. For example, one day she ate, a banana, Cold brew, two shots of espresso, and Premier protein for breakfast,  teriyaki chicken and 2oz fried rice for lunch, and baked chicken thighs, corn, and mashed potatoes for dinner.

Six months after her big weight-loss debut in April 2017, Melissa was still feeling better and better every day, constantly motivated by how much she used to weigh. “Most embarrassing thing in my life… It was caught on television for the world to see it will forever remind me where I have been,” wrote Melissa on Sept. 24 2017 on an Instagram photo from the show. She’s never going back!

 

 

She has built more healthy habits to stay in shape and keep up with her kids. “I work out late at night because it makes me feel good. As for my diet, I always ask myself before eating whether I am truly hungry,” she explained. “I question this to ensure I’m not just eating because I’m feeling sad, happy, mad, bored, or stressed. This one tactic has been so helpful in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Plus, I always have new goals. They help keep me on track and remind me that there is always something more out there waiting for me.”
