Hello, My name is Asia. I am 22 years old, currently jobless. The last time I got weighed I was 380lbs, I fear I am well over 400 now. I guess I have finally hit that point in my life that this journey isn't about vanity, that it is for a future. I guess the reality really hit me when I saw my eye doctor and she commented about how I have few cataracts in my eyes, she was kind and didn't want to say it was from my weight, that it wasn't the possibility diabetes was right around the corner.... It really opened my eyes that I am not as invincible as I feel, that if I don't change, I will die a early death. That is something I don't want.
I suppose I should give a bit of information about me as a person, my upbringing. How I got here. My mother was well over 400lbs raising me. She was a hair dresser, working well over 50 hours a weak to support us. Needless to say my father was never in the picture. In my mothers struggle she wasn't around herself, she did everything she could, but getting fast food was a easy alternative to feed us, and from then on it's always been an uphill battle. One where I'd feel motivated, but for all the wrong reasons. Just wanting to be beautiful, to be something people chased after, now that I matured I realize how silly that is. Now I want to be able to run. I want to walk up a steep hill. I want to see life as beautiful and honestly I have no idea where to start. The reminder of the haunting things people used to say to me, what people used to called me continues to follow me to this day. To the point I am afraid of leaving my house because I constantly feel like I am being stared at and judged. I feel like everyone in the open world is calling me those names in their head. Because of that I stay inside and sit on the computer for the majority of my day to day life. Its not shocking I've gained so much, I never did anything to stop it.
Tonight I spent my time looking at tips for becoming healthy and it lead me on a journey of seeing others who have made this journey without surgery. My mother herself got weightloss surgery, I want to do it naturally because I feel with my hard work and dedication it is something I can achieve if I try my hardest.
In the Midst of watching these videos I found a quote that honestly really made me think.
"You can be sore tomorrow or you can be sorry tomorrow. It's your choice." and to me it is something that really sticks out.
My initial plan I have decided for myself since I began to do research is this.
Decrease portions by 20%
Increase Water intake to over 100%
Begin weight squats and taking walks every morning.
I found a video labeled as Fatmans 10 Steps for Weightloss and honestly it was one of the things I saw possible for myself. I will list steps below and the small notes I made for myself on them.
1. ) Eat Clean. [ This doesn't just mean physically. Surround yourself with positive images, videos. Things that remind you why you are on this journey, what you can achieve.]
2.) Sleep well. [You confuse your hormones when you sleep to much or to little.]
3.) Manage Stress [Make a list of what stresses you out and label it from the most stressful to the least and start at the hardest point and work your way down.]
4.) Think health and well being when it comes to weightloss. [Think about where you will be 20 years from now.]
5.) Listen to your Body.
6.) Make Life style changes. [Train yourself to enjoy loosing weight and do it as much as you physically can.]
7.) Drink more, Eat Less. [Body will think its hungry when it is actually dehydrated. Since someone is heavier isn't sure what their body needs, doing this will be nothing but beneficiary. Invest in a blender.]
8.) Collect Data [ Calories. Exercise times. Get a good Scale which can weight water weight, muscle wright, and body fat. Make a food diary and begin taking pictures of your progress. Make goals for yourself but make sure they aren't outlandish. Understand this will take time. The weight gain didn't happen over night, neither will the weightloss.]
9.) Don't try to buy Weightloss.
10.) Excercise [Do it early in the morning or when you wake up so you are moving for the rest of the day instead of sleeping right after. Do a lot of thigh workouts.]
These are the 10 principles I'm going to try and adopt. I realize it is a lifestyle change and not a temporary fix now. Below I will post a few ways to start a healthy lifestyle.
1.) Changed your Mind. [Motivation]
2.) Set Realistic Goals [Start small]
3.) Make Healthier choices
4.) Start Moving
5.) Get a good support system.
Weightloss is 80% the diet, 20% the workout. [Walk as fast paced as your knees can handle, you will loose/maintain your weight.
So these are just a few things that have inspired me to move forwards, and I know its a lot but I'm hoping this might help others. If some information isn't right, I would love to hear your input. I think I will be starting a diary tomorrow and work on it daily and see where it takes me. Thank you all for reading this.
