So, i was naturally skinny and tall as a kid (5 11) went to a sporting school, did all kinds of extra sports all my childhood years. Eating was never a problem, i could eat whatever i want, would never gain an ounce, until my late 20s. In my 20s i didnt excersise as much, between college, work, and life, but i was lucky enough to still be thin. It was around 27 when my metabolism changed and i started gaining. I was still normal weight, tall and lean, until around 32.
That year i met my husband and my lifestyle naturally slowed down, he is a great cook and loves cooking delicious things, so i start eating more. Then at 34 i got pregnant and had a kid. Even slower lifestyle. Anyways, now im 39 and im around 200 pounds, i was close to 220!! Which is a lot! The thing is that i went from weighing 140 at 32, to 220 at 39!!! I was suddenly obese. I couldnt recognize myself, having been thin all my life.
Anyways, last year i got sick with covid and bilateral pneumonia and was fine (not oxygen) but took me 8 months to feel like myself again, to not get tired when i walked, etc, so in April 2021 i started walking everyday, 7 km per day, and i was already eating healthy, so i started losing weight. But then i broke my ankle and had like 2 months of recovery.
But AFTER my recovery i took it to the next level, i excersise 2 hours a day (not counting the walking) i do weights and abs for 1 hour and 1 hour of biking everyday. I do look much better, lost 20 pounds, probably will loss 10 or 20 more by december, but the biggest shock for me is how excersising everyday (and i do it everyday no matter what) has improved my mood! The difference is incredible! I battled with anxiety all my adult life and nothing has helped as much as excersise. I had forgotten about it, since i havent excersise this much since middle school.
Anyways, just wanting to share my journey and share yours too.
