"Number one, if you are lazy like me when you start your weight loss journey, go for a walk and don't go to the gym on day one. Don't go lifting weights; don't do all of that," she says in her post.

Gym Workouts Can Come Later
"Just start going for a walk after you eat your food, especially once you have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Just go for a walk, get your steps up, get your body used to physical activity. It's the laziest thing. Don't bother going to the gym on the first day. Just get your steps in. Gym can come later," she says.
Lazy Girl Hack 2: Carry a Water Bottle
Her next hack has to do with hydration. "Carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go and make sure it's full to the brim. This baby comes with me everywhere. It's by my bedside. It's there when I wake up, when I go to sleep, when I go to the gym, when I go to uni. Fill up your water bottle and drink your water now," she says.
There Are Lots of Health Benefits of Hydrating
According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Lazy Girl Hack 3: Don't Tell Everyone You Know
She also recommends resisting the urge to tell everyone about your weight loss. "I personally find the phrase making moves in silence to be very, very cringe. However, when it comes to your weight loss journey, you need to live and die by that phrase. Nobody should know that you are losing weight because as soon as you start telling people, 'Oh my God, I'm starting a weight loss journey,' they'll start saying, 'Well done. Congrats.' They're gonna start giving you compliments. They're gonna start giving you your flowers," she says.
You Don't Want Endorphins to Release Until After You Lose Weight
"However, you are going to start getting the endorphins that you should be getting once you've lost the weight. Now you're getting all those feel-good endorphins before you start your weight loss journey, and you're just going to revert straight back to laziness. That was the story of my life for so many years. Literally keep it to like two, three people max that you can trust," she recommends.
Lazy Girl Hack 4: Modify Your Takeout Order
And you don't have to quit ordering takeout, but you should change up your order. "Sometimes we fail to admit to ourselves that we're actually addicted to takeout and junk food. So, if you're trying to cut it out, don't go cold turkey. Just start having takeout; that may be a little bit healthier. For example, instead of having fried chicken, instead of having kebabs and all this kind of stuff that's fried, start having chicken from places that are grilled," she says.

And, when it comes to sides, order very carefully, she suggests, as some of your favorites are full of fat and calories with little nutritional value. "Just stay away from the fries, the rice, and all of that kind of stuff, the garlic bread," she adds. "Have the broccoli, have the sweet corn, and call it a day.
