Hi there,
So I 24M a year ago I weighed about 90kg(200 pounds), and with my height of 173cm(5'8) I was just into obesity in terms of BMI. Not much happened until February/March, when my weight was around 87 kg(192 lbs), then I once again tried to drop chocolate and cola. I would eat at least one 100g bar of chocolate, more like 2 daily, and days when I would eat a big one (300g) weren't so rare. In terms of cola I would drink about 2/3 cups daily, and I wasn't drinking enough fluids I think. Now I weigh 73 kg(about 161 lbs).
About chocolate, what was weird that it was my first attempt to drop it when I had it in house, I had about 3 bars and I didn't eat it, until about 3 months in I ate them slowly(like one in 5 days). I still don't eat it because I'm scared of it, I technically can control myself now, but I know that few days of eating, and I would start overeating it again. Also after doing almost complete cut in sugar, I got some kind of acne breakout all over my body, but after some time it stopped.
In terms of cola, after few days of not drinking any of it, I tried and thankfully I didn't enjoy it anymore, I wasn't a big fan of it before, but now when I started drinking water instead, it seemed too sweet for me. So I don't even want it nowadays.
Oh, and I started to do push-ups and pull-ups, I went from about 20 push-ups to about 60 now, in terms of pull-ups I went from maybe 2 to 8 now, it's something but I wasn't training for about 3 weeks, well that's more of a story for r/tifu when I fell on my knees with a pull-up bar in my hands, breaking the front of the oven, leaving my family with no oven for easter. Then I was kinda scared for sometime, but I finally managed to get back to it.
So I'm now at healthy BMI, and I'm very happy with it, I'm happy that I can see my triceps. I'm happy that most of my clothes are baggy now. Well I tried few days ago a shirt that was slightly too small for me last year, now it's a little too big. I'm kinda proud of how I look now. I think I've been at that weight maybe 6 years ago, or maybe even further.
Why am I posting this, well last week was kind of a rollercoaster for me, I was finally setting up a date with a girl I've been texting with for the last 3 months, I got invited for a job interview, so I was really happy, and then she canceled the date, and today morning i got a text that they took someone else for the job, few days before the scheduled interview. And today's the second day I don't workout, because my arm is slightly painful so I need to take some time off, and I think it's time to find a plan for pull-ups like I have with push-ups.
So I wasn't in the best mood, but after writing this I am a lot happier for what I have done lately.
