I need advice 
.
Sincerely, a girl who can’t commit to anything.
I was annoyed because my BMI (Body Mass Index) was far higher than the normal range, and people had started calling me names like ‘golu’, ‘chubby’, and’motu’. I was even fat-shamed and stopped looking in the mirror. My enthusiasm for shopping and trying on new clothing was vanished. I used to feel quite insecure about myself.
One day, I realised that I needed to make sincere attempts to be the best version of myself, and that’s when everything began to change.
Bullying, fat shaming, no female interaction, and man boobs.
I was a fat boy till 2016. I had confidence issues, and I used to miss school and coaching courses since most people would look at me and make horrible faces, which made me very unhappy and angry. This impacted my high school GPA as well.
My husband was diagnosed with diabetes in March 2016. He was not a huge man at the time, weighing slightly less than 200 pounds. By the end of May 2016, he had shed 30 pounds solely by reducing his sugar consumption. I was surprised at how easy it appeared to be for him, given that he hadn’t changed his eating habits significantly and wasn’t very active. So I reasoned that if he could do it effortlessly, so could I.
There is just one motivator for beginning a weight loss journey. That is your own internal drive. What is the most crucial reason why you do anything? You won’t know without answering a few questions. But allow me to ask you a question. Why are you looking for motivation to lose weight? Are you wondering whether or not to lose weight? Are you trying to figure out what worked for others and hoping it would work for you?
My weight loss journey began when I was very young. I had my first period when I was eight years old. Girls with precocious puberty frequently have weight issues owing to a variety of circumstances. I could name them, but it isn’t necessary for the purpose of this story.
I started gaining weight quickly. By the age of nine, I was wearing a bra and had to wear trousers designed for girls five years or older. I gained weight in typical areas for women, but on a 10-year-old body, I rapidly became overweight. At the time, I wasn’t particularly concerned about my weight.
Covid-19.
I caught it in 2020. After that, my blood pressure skyrocketed. I had been on blood pressure medication for years, which kept it under control. After Covid, I had to treble my dosage to get it back into a safe range. So I thought I needed to take more steps to improve my health.
I adjusted my diet, losing 50 pounds over two years, and started exercising more frequently and hard.
My continual difficulty is to resist overeating and restrict junk carbs. I’ve always had a sweet tooth and a tendency to consume for reasons other than basic need. I know what I should do, but I find it difficult to do so regularly.
Growing Up!
Yes, I was a fat child, and as I grew older, I recognised there was no fun in being overweight.I can’t wear attractive short skirts and eat everything I want without feeling guilty unless I lose weight. Also, my partner was looking after his health, but he didn’t ask me to do anything.He has always liked my teddy bear. But I didn’t want to be referred to as his mummy (as my friends had previously done) because I was overweight.
My weight had crept up over the years, and I was starting to feel the effects - low energy, achy joints, poor sleep. I knew carrying around those extra pounds put me at risk for conditions like diabetes and heart disease down the road. Improving my health was a huge driving factor.
I had just purchased a pair of jeans from Costco. Two weeks later, they were uncomfortably tight. I weighed 260 pounds. Enough was enough, I declared, and I promised to drop 60 pounds by the end of the year (it was June at the time). 10 pounds per month is pretty manageable. I ended up shedding about 100 pounds and currently weigh 164. And, best of all, it wasn’t too difficult. All you need to do is commit.
I weighed 93 kilogrammes during that period. I was quite depressed. I chose to go to the gym for the first time without a goal.
When I realised the benefits of training not only for physical appearance, but also for mental health, I determined to continue in the gym indefinitely.
I began to be interested in nutrition and fitness. I shed 24 kilogrammes in 6 months and gained mental strength. Everyone believes that the majority of us train for our physical appearance. The truth is very different. The gym was where I turned my melancholy into strength. Every day, I get more and more motivated when I see the results I’ve achieved.
I wanted to lose weight on my own terms. If you look about, you’ll notice that there are nearly as many diets as religions. I’ve discovered that the more money spent on diet advertising, the less effective the diet is! Everyone loves the idea of losing weight quickly, but in the actual world, this is not realistic. Advertisers are there to sell you something. That is it! They’ll hire the best actors to do whatever it takes to sell you the diet. Once you board that train, you become a consumer. They would prefer that you do not lose weight because if you do, they will lose a customer!
I collapsed on the street, and while in recuperation, a doctor commented “you are overweight,” which hit me hard even though I already knew. His words sparked my weight loss journey. My first step was to reduce my breakfast to just one really great coffee [without sugar] and one apple. I promised myself that for the next few months, this would be all I ate for breakfast, and I followed my vow with the exception of the occasional bacon sandwich. Two years later, this is still my breakfast, and I have lost 90 pounds and feel terrific.
My goal is to avoid being like others in my family who have disregarded their health and developed diabetes, heart disease, and other difficulties. Watching them suffer while still stuffed made me never want to go down that path. Furthermore, I have two children, so longevity will allow me to be there for them.
