Before and after: https://imgur.com/a/pEBCPiS
Started with going to the gym 3-5 times a week and eating in a calorie deficit and eating around 130g of protein per day. I definitely did not always stick to my calories and workouts. There were weeks that I didn’t even track my food and did not go the gym at all, especially after going on a summer holiday it was hard to find back my motivation (and discipline). But I’m glad and proud that I made it work. I absolutely love going to the gym and seeing how my body changes: my veins and muscles that are more visible, feeling my bones a bit more. But also the psychological benefits: I am so much more confident. I dare to flirt when going out, I think I look pretty good, I’m not scared of posting my body on social media. Besides that, I also sleep better and my skin cleared up!
It might sound a little cringey, but the gym feels like therapy to me. Whenever I feel down, stressed out or whatever, a gym session makes me feel so good again.
I’m still overweight and I know I’m not there yet, but I can’t wait for the future. I being strong and fit is so much fun. I also started playing football again and I am running an 1/4 marathon in April. I’m so excited!
PS: I know the lighting is doing a great job for me on the after pics hahah
