My Weight Loss Story
1st Transformation
Growing up, I was the chubby kid who longed to get in shape. I struggled with weight loss and blamed my genetics—until I discovered the science of nutrition. Armed with new knowledge, I transformed my body and embraced a healthy lifestyle. I felt confident and believed that I had finally “made it.”
The Lockdown Weight Gain
Then, the Covid lockdown hit. Like many, I found myself stuck at home with dwindling motivation. Boredom led to overeating, and soon I was overwhelmed by frustration as I gained 20 kg. The irony stung: a dietitian whose job was to help others was losing his own battle. This became my powerful wake-up call. Fueled by frustration and a desire to reclaim my health, I embarked on a second weight loss journey.
Final Weight Loss Journey
Even with my expertise, I faced the familiar challenges of low motivation and intense cravings. It was a stark reminder that discipline, even for an expert, is paramount. I admit, I wasn’t perfect, allowing myself occasional treats in moderation. The journey back to fitness wasn’t easy, but it was well worth the effort.
My Learnings
It’s been 4 years since then and I have lost 20 kg of excess weight and kept it off because of the simple habits I built to keep my weight and health in good shape. This second experience taught me a powerful lesson that the path of weight loss journey can be much easier and less daunting if you have someone by your side to guide and support That’s what I realized, and that’s what I offer now. At Purely Simple Diet, I provide personalized coaching that adapts to your unique needs, with the guidance and support you need to overcome obstacles and achieve lasting fat loss success.
