Hi everyone. I am Anna, I live in Ukraine, in Kiev. I want to share my story with you. I can’t say that I’ve ever had terrible weight problems, but I wasn’t a glossy magazine model either. At school, I always dreamed of being beautiful, cool, so that every boy could care for me, well, what else does a teenage girl need. In elementary school, I was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, but since it manifested itself only in the scalp, I did not pay much attention. It was only when I turned 14 that I developed large wounds on my face. Imagine: a teenager, with a slight corpulence (with a height of 165 centimeters, I was 63 kilograms, you won't say so much, but every extra gram in my figure looks catastrophic) and with red blood spots on her face. Everything so that the girl has complexes.
After a couple of months, I started going to doctors and in the end I had to go on a strict diet, drink a lot of drugs, including hormonal ones. At first it was hard, but at some point I "switched" and began to consciously adhere to this diet, play sports, limit myself in everything. I started counting calories, and it got to the point that I tried to eat no more than 1000 calories a day, and if I ate at least 1 kilocalorie more, I immediately ran squats, push-ups and so on. By the end of school, I weighed 44 kilograms and was 168 centimeters tall. And I was still unhappy with my figure.
But everything changed dramatically when I entered the university. You can imagine - she got away from her parents, fast food, alcohol, chips with the guys. After such a diet, my 65 kilograms told me "hello, you didn't wait, but we came back." I didn't know what to do, but on Instagram I came across a post where a girl danced beautifully on a pole and I really wanted to do Pole dance. And you know, after six months of training, which included not only dancing, but also stretching, I got back in shape and everything was fine, until I got a leg injury. But I did not want to gain weight as much as possible and in the unknown began to use diuretics. Guys, what is the result - eat as much as you want, drink anything, take a couple of pills and you are gorgeous. I did not understand then what I was signing up for. My mom quickly realized that I was taking these pills, but I still drank them secretly. I was like a drug addict. If I didn't take a pill, I would be thrown into hysterics, I would swell all over. When I began to realize that my heart aches because of them, my bones ache, I was afraid to stop, because I knew that I would walk with edema for a very long time. I debugged this by promising myself that today was the last time. Thank God, at some point, I realized that this could not continue. "If I had quit a month ago, now there would be no swelling," I thought. And I sharply decided that it should be done right now! I walked with terrible swelling, my legs looked like blocks, but I endured. I started running, it was physically very difficult, but I tried. Then I started stretching again, watched videos of different workouts on YouTube, different exercises. And now I can finally say that I am pleased with myself. I managed. Yes, I don't have perfect abs, I'm still going to my goal, not perfect legs, but it's all possible. You just need to start. Now I am 21, my height is 168 centimeters, my weight is 49 kilograms, I graduated from a technical university, I work as a programmer and I am happy with myself, because I could. I do not urge you to buy any online courses, you can freely find everything on the Internet. It is clear that it is much better to work with a trainer, but since there is a pandemic now, it is difficult (I don’t know how in other countries, but in Ukraine, quarantine and most gyms are closed). Just start now, anything is possible, don't think, act, stop watching videos, start training. I also want to add that there must be a balanced diet in addition to all this. If you want chocolate - take a piece, but a little bit and drink a glass of water. It is also impossible to limit yourself completely, since then you can simply break loose. But remember that instead of a burger, it is better to drink a glass of water. Start right now, because by putting off until tomorrow you only make yourself worse, you are betraying yourself.
I will add below a google document with links to YouTube with trainings so that there is not much text here, some of them are in Russian, but don't be alarmed, as a last resort there are subtitles))
Link removed Also, here is my Instagram (link removed)you are interested in something, I will gladly answer your questions. I believe in each of you the way I believed in myself once. Go for it!
PS Sorry for my english.
