Salam everyone. Recently I just had a thought on how to motivate myself through my weight loss journey. A way to help remember that this is a marathon, not a race. As a huge fan of anime, I'm very much familiar with long and drawn-out storylines, consisting of multiple arcs. In these arcs, the main characters face challenges, and usually train hard to improve enough to beat them. Well, hear me out on this;
Arc 1: New Beginnings
This is the start of your new journey, and will likely be one of the toughest challenges you will face. You'll need to break down any misconceptions you've had your whole life, stop treating food as a comfort system, and start ingraining habits into your routine that will require an awful lot of discipline. You'll also start taking light walks, cycles, or jogs. Progress will likely be slow, but as you power through each day, you get closer and closer to your fitness goals.
Arc 2: Resistance
Now that you've overcome your first huge challenge, you'll be knocked down by a new one. Your initial gains will slow down, and as you get lower in weight, and can start being more active, you have to step up your routine. This could be going on frequent jogs, runs, or starting off with weight lifting. You will struggle, and you'll need all the discipline you can get, but by the end of this arc you'll see significant differences in your appearance, and you'll definitely feel a lot healthier
Arc 3: Domination
Now that you've gotten yourself nice and healthy, and maybe fit too, you reach a crossroads. If you're satisfied here, you can keep up with your healthy habits and end your show. But, if like me, you want to become the opposite of who you used to be, this is the time to step things up further. High-intensity workouts, weight training almost every day, and overall becoming the invert of who you once were. You don't need to looks like Chris Hemsworth, but getting muscle on you in place of fat will be one of the greatest feelings you will achieve, and you'll be stuck on ways to feel better about yourself in front of a mirror. This is where the main character - us - achieves all their goals, and ends their show on the happiest note possible.
Not all shows get this far. Whether because of us, or factors outside of our control, some of us will have to call it quits. Well, good luck to you and I hope you're able to be as healthy as possible in your circumstances. But for me? It's time to get this anime started.
