I started my weight loss journey 10 years ago, when was 19 I used to live aboard in another country, one that was so different from my home, it was a difficult time of my life for me and I simply found comfort in food, even though I saw myself in the mirror everyday I never noticed how much weight I was gaining.
one day a friend took a photo of me, it was the first I was looking at myself the way people around me did, it was quite shocking for me, I felt... disgusting, I was obese.
I didn't noticed my weight gain before that photo because all I wore at the time was stretchy pants, hoodies, and oversize jackets.
My starting weight was 90k(198lb), right now I weight 60k(132lb) and I have 28% body fat, I reached my goal weight like 6 years ago and maintained my weight at 56-57k (123-135lb) with little physical activity, all I did was walking from 10 to 20 minutes almost daily.
Then the lockdown began three years ago, and I ceased having physical activity, spent everyday sitting in front of my desk working, eating every food that was available at my reach, naturally I started gaining weight without noticing again.
Last year I went to a museum with a friend, I asked her to take me a photo and when I saw it I realized my weight gain, I went to my home and stepped on the scale, I was pretty nervous to see the number and when I saw it it marked 65k (143lb) it was the heaviest I had been IN YEARS.
All I could think of was that if I achieved my goal for a first time I could do it a second time, so I started going to the gym in November and with the help of a personal trainer started weight lifting.
In these months I have lost weight from fat and gained muscle, this is the best I have ever looked. I have learnt so much about myself and now my goals focus more on measures instead on numbers on the scale.
And I want to say thanks to all the people in this sub, because all of you motivate me to continue and never give up.
