Losing weight is not an easy thing to do in general. I mean, you could exercise everyday for straight 30 days but barely see any changes. Even you could gain some. It's just so unpredictable. Everyone's body is different in sooo many ways.
The more you read or watch youtube about losing weight, sometime it gets to you. It could make you stop eating. That didn't happened to me but i did read some who said those bad experience. What inspired me at the first place was Arlina. She said, she lost some weight but she regained it back (rebound). It took her a long time and a lot of reading to be where she is.
In the end of the day, all you need is more love on yourself and more understanding on your body. Some people could lose a kg per week, some might need a month. We need to know about OUR body more. Try to make effort on that.
Initially i took some initiatives to begin this 'healthy lifestyle' journey.
1. Find the right motivation. You need to cooperate mentally and physically with your body to start those legs moving.
2. Follow YouTube videos. 15mins HIIT or 30mins low impact. Any specific work out like abs, legs or simple work out. Anything you have in mind, just watch and follow it. No one is judging if you need to pause (catch extra breath) more. You follow your own patch. Even if you have a specific move you are not sure how to do it, just watch a video. I watched burpees for beginners. Doing it right could decrease chance for injury.
3. Buy some equipments. Start by buying yoga matt, a smart watch/ smart band. If you feel like you could afford more, buy dumbbell, hand weight etc. Whatever that suits you.
4. Take a break. While your motivation is burning, it is still important to take some break. Taking a break is not making you a loser. Your body need a break to recover from time to time. Push yourself to A limit. Dont be too hard on yourself. Even during work out. If you need extra break, take it. When your body gets stronger, trust me, you wouldn't be taking much break as u used too.
5. Read more. 80% of weight lose is diet. Find a diet that suits you. It is confusing to see, ketone diet, intermediate fasting, etc. Hurm, honestly just download the diet app to monitor your calories intake. Calory deficiency works for weight lose. I dont have much knowledge about it. Im struggling with controlling my sugar, carbs, oil, sodium yada yada intake. It easily gave in. Like kak Arlina said, craving makes you crazy. It makes you binge eating someday. Follow some 'healthy' IG accounts. It helps me esp in motivating myself.
6. Stop measuring. This one an advise to myself too. I would measure my weight CONSTANTLY. That's why i easily get demotivated. I keep on saying, its just numbers but those numbers are such a big deal 😂 I could be exercising like crazy, i gain so much strength on my legs or body but those numbers increase, i felt like those sweats meaningless. I mean, it depends on how you keep yourself working up.
7. I guess, dont give up. I gave up after about 2 months working out w no progress. Took a sweet 20 days break. Eat whatever i want. Maybe because of fasting, i felt like i ate like once a day with heavy snack at night. You could give up one day, a month later you begin again w whole new plan and motivation. Who knows. Just keep those legs moving!
Its not easy. Dont look at other people's success. They have their own endurance. Ok people, LISTEN!
DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS.
DO NOT TAKE COFFEE KURUS.
DO NOT TAKE DETOX TEA.
DO NOT TAKE LOTION PANAS AND EXPECT MIRACLES.
STOP SUPPORTING THIS WRONG BUSINESS OKAY. USED THAT MONEY TO BUT EXERCISE EQUIPMENT OR GYM MEMBERSHIP.
Im so sick and tired looking at twitter and IG about these shits. There is not short cut to HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE. Not at all.
Side effect of those are just, terrifying!
So, this is just a piece from me. I know theres nothing much you gain but i hope its a beginning of something 😁
