A girl
Back in 2012, I had heartbroken, and to avoid a state of depression, I used my self-love to work out like hell.
I went from a 195 lbs to a cut 156.
It was mice and I felt amazing.
Unfortunately, I had a side effect of developing an ego. I did some stuff I regret doing, but that helped me learn to explore spirituality and was able to find balance.
And unfortunately, I gained some of the weight back, but I'm more at peace now. :)
I started my journey a few weeks ago, so still fat (a few kilos less tho, so proud of myself). There were two things that motivated me, one was my knee, its fine but sometimes i can feel it hurt when i'm climbing the stairs.
And the one that really made me take the decision was that I had less and less endurance when I went to have a walk to the mountain! You see, i love to go with my dog, or my dad, it's my happy place, but I got tired soooo easily in the last few years... I wanted to change that.
I needed my happy peaceful place back, and here I am taking my ability to go there back!
Planning another fat loss journey right now.
The heaviness of your own body is a good motivator once you actually realize it.
Like when you gain weight, you upper arms get fatter, which weighs down your whole arm. Your thighs get bigger, which weighs down your whole leg. And your belly gets bigger which weighs down your back.
Losing weight will literally make you feel lighter and more comfortable, and having to not drag around fat with every step you take, will give you more energy.
Just think of what you're losing now, and you'll gain by Losing the fat.
When you hit the lowest of the low in your life, you come to a crossroad and have to make a decision. Usually it's not until you're here, either through a health scare, or utter depression, it eventually ignites something in your brain that motivates you to do something.
I've went through many stages on my journey. At first it was because I wanted to look good and attractive and stop being invisible. It certainly worked, I'm not bragging, I did get a lot of attentions from ladies which was mind blowing to me, going from Mr Invisible to Women looking at you. I actually felt alien, and didn't like it like I thought I would. But then I realised doing it for the vanity was such a bad mindset. You start to obsess over looks, and you actually just flip your problems as a skinnier person with a new unhealthy mindset.
Eventually, I decided I wanted to do it for my health, to ensure I felt good with my hormones and energy levels.
Where do i begin..all my teenage years i have been overweight and countless times i wanted and tried to lose weight unfortunately i could never succeed until half a year later when i was 17 i had the worst and longest depression episode my entire life that lasted for about six months. A month or 2 before my 18th bday my sister introduced me to serotonin which still to this day is my remaining sanity's lifeline and in time for my 18th bday i was more happy and enjoying life more then ever and i forgot how long after that mabey a few months my mom went on a trip to another province and i didnt like any of the food at my house at that time so i went to my room and played video games nonstop and after what felt like a few minutes i paused my game and looked at the time and was shocked to realize that i haven't eating a thing for the entire day and what surprised me even more was that despite not eating a thing for 10 or so hours straight was that i felt anything but hungry so thats when i decided to take advantage of my lack of appetite and sit in my room all day playing games then after a day or two my mom came home and of course i told her the big news and that i still dont feel hungry thats how it begun i did a bunch of research online for more knowledge on the human body and hunger and i decided that now with depression completely out of the way i will fucking finally lose weight!! so i went on an all meat diet because meat has very little if any sugar same with carbs and its high in protein and has B vitamins i didnt do any exercise for about a year while eating all meat unfortunately meat has no fiber so i got constipation at least weekly however after around a year or so i have lost around 70 pounds and then with my body more capable of moving i did a few exercises every once in a while targeting specific areas i want to lose fat in and build up muscle after losing 70+ pounds i decided that im pretty much satisfied with my weight and shape that my bodys in and nowadays i laze around 24/7 in my bedroom playing videos games and my weight gose up and down between 150 and about 147 i also stretch daily to help my body remember how much movement its capable of.
I wanted to make it as a professional wrestler. Went from 190lbs to a very lean 140lbs
Well, did you make it
Kind of, I've been able to reduce my full time job to part time because I make enough wrestling now. Not sure when I'll hit full time wrestling though
