I started my journey in March at the beginning of this year.Its been a rollercoaster with alot of ups and downs.
I always had pretty bad binging problems where i would go to fast food restaurants and order shit loads of food just to keep myself happy.I love long drives and during those times everytime i stop for fuel i buy alot of snacks and stock them up in my car. My ex used to see these issues and tell me to stop and try doing something about my weight.I used to hate exercising and i used to hate walking even for a few minutes. My mental health was pretty bad already and i had really bad temper issues mainly because of my insecurities .
2021 wasnt a good year for me.Lost my dad to a heart attack and he was pretty young.He didnt care about his health and he never ate healthy.Everyday was a different kind of fast food mainly cause he was always travelling.This messed me up pretty bad cause i was the only son and had to look after my family so it created alot of mental health issues.
2022 Jan lost a 5 year relationship.
2022 Feb Got into a serious car crash my car flipped and caught on fire it was a miracle i survived without a scratch on me.
These series of events fucked me up pretty bad.Especially the relationship i feel i gave that more priority than myself.
2022 March i decided that its time to make a change i am done with this crap and i need to do something with my life.
I started with taking light walks at night before dinner for maybe 20-30 mins everyday.
Then it went to running i would last max 30 seconds and die.
But it got better i got faster and my stamina increased.
Next I started with walking to my office back and fro its 2km (1.2 miles) everyday.At the beginning it was difficult because where i stay its pretty humid.I kept doing this and i could feel my legs getting stronger.
After this i felt i needed to do a form of exercise because i wanted to improve and i wanted to get stronger.Going to the gym and lifting weights isnt my thing.For some reason everytime i join a gym i quit within 2 weeks.
I joined Kickboxing in June.The way they pushed me is unbeleivable i come out of the place limping and out of breath.But the push is what i went for everyday.I pushed my limits everytime i went there.Slowly i felt my weight falling off and everyone started noticing it.I started dressing well and i started being nice to people.My family was there with me through the whole process and they were my support system.I started eating clean if had cravings to have something sweet i would drink a fresh homemade mango juice.
I still havent reached my goal weight yet but my mental health has improved considerably.
I read alot of posts on this sub ive been here for a long time and most of the problems people are facing here is how to start.I know there are other people here who are heavier than me and you guys dont know where to start and i understand how you feel You have to get out you have to push yourself everyday.In the end you just have to go out maybe start with a walk but push yourself to begin.Keep doing this till you have the flow.When you dont go for that exercise and you miss a day you feel somethings missing from your life.You only live once make that once count start today.
Another issue i have seen is the mindset.You have to have the mindset that you have to do this your whole life.Choose a sport or exercise you enjoy doing and Choose healthy foods you actually like dont eat it for the sake of it ....enjoy it.
Keep your mental health in check anytime you are sad or angry calm yourself down.If you are angry take it out on a punching bag or go out for a walk.-Dont let food control your emotions.
Keep watching different videos learn about different foods and different exercises become a better version of yourself.But seriously i feel watching these videos helps reminding you of what your purpose for that day is and gives you extra motivation.
Learn about calorie deficits and learn about healthy filling foods.I dont beleive in diets i feel diets just make you binge more within a week thats what happend to me.
Ive aimed at losing max 3 kilos a month and not more i dont want to be too aggressive.
Cheat meals once a week.NOT CHEAT DAY CHEAT MEAL.
Follow intuitive eating but if you do binge do it like rarely like maybe once a month or something if you do feel really low but do try to reduce this.
I know how you guys feel when you look in the mirror and you arent happy.When you go out with your friends and when they take a group pic and you dont like how you look.Ive been there i still go running everyday and i remember the times i used to cry while running and it used to mix up with my sweat and ppl thought i had excessive sweating issues.
I will post again when i reach my goal weight with a picture.
In the end you control your body and you are what you eat.
Ive gone through shit in my life but that didnt stop me from reaching here.Whats stopping you?If you guys have any questions lmk.If you need some motivation dm me.
