I was so hesitate to share this, but here you go.
For everyone who enquired about my journey:
This journey began when I hit rock bottom. My health—both physical and mental—was spiraling fast. I was depressed, hated who I had become, and wanted to stay hidden from the world. It wasn’t just about losing weight; I knew I had to change my lifestyle and my relationship with food, as I’d always turned to comfort eating.
Three and a half months into this journey, I’ve lost 30 kg and I’m going strong. I simply make better choices now—especially when it comes to what I eat—and my life has been transformed in ways I never imagined. My confidence has returned. I feel stronger, more alive, and I wake up each day looking forward to living with purpose, meeting new people, and pushing myself to be the best I can be.
What I’ve come to realize is that a lot of this weight gain was deeply tied to childhood and emotional traumas. So, alongside getting healthier, I started the process of inner healing, facing those past wounds. I knew there was a better version of myself waiting to break through, and I was determined to find it.
To clarify, I'm not on any GLP-1 medications. I achieved my fat loss naturally by maintaining a calorie deficit, sticking to 1,800 calories a day with 120g of protein. My focus was always on losing body fat, not just weight. The high-protein, low-carb approach helped me stay fuller for longer, making the process sustainable and effective.
I drink 3 liters of alkaline water daily, mainly because it helps with my bloating. You’re welcome to drink normal or filtered water if that works better for you.
I've also completed the 75 Hard challenge.
I go to the gym 5 days a week, only in the evenings.
