I posted a this recently but my translation software messed everything up so I got a friend from the US Embassy in Russia to translate the post into proper english. Below is my accurate weight loss journey.
OW IT STARTED
The date is June 30th, 1988. My name is Katyusha and during this time I lived in the USSR and I weighed 631 lbs. I simply completed an arrangement at the gynecologist to get a hysterectomy. My gynecologist, a sweet asian-kazakh in her mid 30s with a sound body and kind face, discloses to me that the strategy is done and I am ready, however...
"Your circulatory strain is dreadfully high, I am stressed over you," she includes rapidly. "It was high last time, as well. You should see a specialist, there is one here, I can give you a proposal. He's extremely business-situated and logical, you'll like him."
Reluctantly, I concur. This isn't the first occasion when somebody has addressed me about my circulatory strain, however it will be the first occasion when I have visited a specialist in right around 8 years.
Thyroid issues, circulatory strain issues, and diabetes keep running in my family. I go home, my stomach balled into an unpalatable bunch, to consider my forthcoming arrangement. I am as yet pondering it the following day when I wake up hungry. I am considering it I eat my frozen yogurt soon thereafter, researching manifestations for diabetes. On December 18, I am as yet considering it we stock up on wheat, potatoes, corn, and meat to praise the birthday of Stalin since USSR has little food by December.
I've pondered it so much, feared it so much, that it at long last occurs to me: nobody ought to must be this worried about a medical checkup... A basic checkup. At that point the considerations rapidly course through my psyche? "For what reason are you focused on?" Because I am fat. "Whose blame is it you are fat?" Mine. I did this. "On the off chance that you made yourself fat, who makes you not fat?" Me.
I would not like to squander the nourishment we'd purchased, so with a great deal of fear, I advised my sweetheart I needed to begin getting thinner on 7/5/1988.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
In the days that pursued, . I took advance photographs. I determined my TDEE out of the blue. I purchased another lunchbox so I was compelled to convey my lunch to work. I followed each calorie. I quit purchasing soft drink. I quit eating out. I invested a humiliating measure of energy sticking "solid" formulas.
The main month, I lost 19lbs. When I went to the specialist, I was in impeccable wellbeing: not even pre-diabetic. I told my new specialist energetically that I had shed pounds and couldn't hold up to return one year from now. From his easygoing, cavalier gesture it was clear he wasn't hopeful about my odds. I pledged to myself I'd refute him.
The second month, I made a diary and started sharing the sustenance I ate. By that point, I discovered I could supplant frozen yogurt with Protein Smoothies (which completely considered breakfast), so I began thinking of mind boggling and delectable protein shake formulas. I progressed from an underlying calorie gauge of 1850 calories every day down to 1500 calories per day. It was working. I discovered that carb-substantial sustenances left my hungry and read that protein was imperative to sound weightloss, so I started limiting carbs and amplifying protein.
Years passed. I started eating 1200 calories every day. I kept cooking. I agreed to accept the rec center, however just went some of the time. I continued following, I continued losing. It was working. I found the informal friction connected in the sidebar and started investing a great deal of energy there. At Christmas, everybody disclosed to me I looked astonishing. In January, I began another activity with a splendid future and double the compensation. In March, I finished 1K ran and ran my first 5K: nearby Moscow neighborhood. I had a fabulous time I've had openly all year and my sweetheart and I guaranteed each other we'd do it again one year from now.
At that point, abruptly, 25 years had passed. I was well over 100lbs down. I took my last selfie in the mirror at store in Moscow, a tear in my eye as their littlest tanktop hang and grouped around my hips. I quietly guaranteed the lady in the mirror that I'd never be back. I started shopping at normal garments stores. My new collaborators started to see my weightloss. I made companions with other sound individuals: the organization rec center coaches, our security protects, the new young lady on my group that brings mealprep for lunch each day. I gladly turned into an arbitrator for the disagreement network that offered me such a great amount of help all through my adventure.
At the present time
The previous couple of days, I have - without precedent for my adventure - had different individuals reveal to me that all that I know and all that I've learned isn't right. I had another redditor reveal to me I don't comprehend what it resembles to be hefty. One disclosed to me how solid you can be in spite of dreary heftiness. Another disclosed to me bodies don't react to calories. Moscow Times disclosed to me that I'm naturally bound to come up short at weight loss and that I'll never keep the weight off.
I'm remaining here today as living verification that you can do this. I am here to reveal to you that all of cynicism you hear, each individual that discloses to you will fail, each ineffectively directed examination that discussions about starvation mode, set weight focuses, metabolic harm from weightloss, and each previous companion that reveals to you don't generally cherish yourself on the off chance that you get more fit...
Each and every one of them isn't right. It took me very nearly 30 years to get here
It is hard to lose weight in Russia. There is a gluttonous and drinking culture here. I used to be an alcoholic and drank so much vodka I had liver issues. By the this is my throwaway account since my real account I know people on reddit in real.
