In march, when the epidemy started to gain traction in my homecountry, I (19F) was about 75kg (165lbs) and 166cm (5'4'') tall; not that overweight but still extremely unfit and overall unhappy with my body, health and state of mind. But, as of today, I've officially lost 11kg / 25lbs!
But most importantly, I feel like I rediscovered my sense of willpower and self love. Treating yourself is caring for yourself, but it takes real love to get up and do something that'll help you in the long run. And that's the hardest exercise of them all. If you're like me and you're using this terrible thing that's happening and being the silver lining, I applaud you. No matter where in your health journey you are, I'm extremely proud of you. And if you're someone who's chosen to focus on something else, I'm proud of you too for making that choice. Different people have different priorities and you should never be shamed for it. Let's all take it easy.
Yeah, I still struggle, in every sense of the word. My mental health is an ongoing issue, but I've made crazy progress in the last few months. I still have big meals and dessert, but they're much more special now that they don't happen pretty much everyday. Exercise became a hobby and even if it's not always what I'm most excited about, I feel it in my bones the good it does to me. And I've proven to myself that I'm able to make a change.
I still wanna lose an extra 20 pounds and keep growing stronger, physically and most importantly: mentally too. Clean eating with two cheat meals a week on the weekends, cardio 5 times a week and on and off (body weight) weight training is going a long way for me.
Just thinking off the top of my mind. Take care, good luck, and stay safe!
