The Real Reason behind My Weight Loss (The Right One)
I have always had a hate-hate relationship with my weight. I have been thin/underweight for most of my life. From Elementary to my Early College days, I was super thin. Not even sexy thin, I was stick thin. Then in my Late College days, my metabolism slowed down. I started gaining weight. A LOT OF WEIGHT. People around me notice this and they were initially supportive of this change. I thought gaining pounds would make them happy of what I have become. FINALLY MY WEIGHT WAS âRIGHTâ. But has years gone by, I started to gain more weight and then some. The people around me were again unhappy of what I have become. They started saying that I should eat less. I should diet. I should exercise. I should be SLIMMER. After all this time, I still wasnât right in their eyes. I tried a couple of times to lose the weight but nothing really motivated me enough to go through it this long. Nothing motivated me enough until now.
This time I realized something that I didnât realize for a long time. I realized it now a week shy of my first month in my weightloss journey. I realized what all the change-for-yourself-and-not-for-others-crap that other people say. As I was sipping tea, I stopped and tried to feel the energy and vibe of my body. It felt so good not having something aching in your body, your lungs heaving like crazy from going up and down the stairs, or your stomach churning too much. For the longest time, I have never felt like this before. I realized that I loved this feeling more than just pleasing everybody in my life. I love feeling healthier. I realized that this is my goal. To be better and feel better. You need to have the right reasons to achieve real results. If I only realized this before, I would have achieved my goals a long time ago. Now with a better mindset I will push myself further. I donât care how long I will reach it or how hard I will have to work for it.Â
