Finally starting to like myself again
I'm 19 years old, and for my whole life, I used to be the chubby kid in my circle. I was always active, playing soccer throughout my whole childhood, skiing every weekend in winter, working out and performing pretty averagely in P.E., despite my weight. Things got really rough when I went into my teenage years. Depression and drug abuse got the better of me, and I ate myself to a whopping 113kg (250lbs). I hated my life and thought, that I would never get out of this hole. Until I reached a point somewhere last summer, where things got better. I still ate like a pig, but my mental was finally going in the right direction. In early January of this year, I decided I had enough, stopped searching for excuses, and finally decided, it was time for me to lose weight. Been in a 1000kcal deficit for about 4 months now, going to the gym 5 times a week, hitting 200g of Protein daily and getting at least 10k steps in. Day in, day out. In the 4 months, I went from 113kg to 93kg, without losing any of my strength in the gym, crashing out, or starving myself.
I can proudly say, this decision was the best of my life so far. I can finally look at myself again, without feeling disgusted or disappointed, because I know how much I work for my goals. I can finally love myself again.
I am nowhere near finished though, this journey will take me a lot further, than where I am at right now, but until then, I WILL KEEP HUSTLING
Cheers
