Work-out-holic

I, myself, is a young adult. So it would be just okay to write something that concerns me.

Back when I was young, I usually weighed a little too much above the average weight of kids like me. Having a fit body did not bother me then. Until I had a serious illness.

I had an acute kidney problem when I was 14. My body had swollen even more because I took steroids as part of my medication. I eventually gained a quarter of my usual weight. As far as I can remember, I reached a peak weight of 80 kilos that time. That became a wake up call for me and I got to do something with my body - and my life.

My attending physician told me to have a proper and healthy diet matched with regular exercise to accelerate the pace of my recovery. With the help of some of my friends, I was able to lose weight and felt better. I regained my old body which is still fat though.

And then I entered college.

Losing weight up to the point of having a body with a normal standing in the body mass index or BMI was an accident. It really was.

I lived with my sister and two other people in an apartment then. We were all students at that time. And as they say, college students do not have time for basically everything - including breakfast - which is not true. Ha ha. I later on had the habit of not having breakfast before attending classes. Little did I noticed, I lost much weight. People around me noticed the almost sudden-gradual change in my body.

After losing weight, I gained self-confidence. Honestly, too much confidence. I did not have control over my ego anymore and I became arrogant. Ever watched an episode in Oprah or The Doctors about fat people who lost weight and became sex addicts and/or egoist? That is true. But, I did not became a sex addict, fortunately. Ha ha. I still have my morals though.

Because I lost weight by accident, I had little knowledge of maintaining it. I eventually gained weight again. I became frustrated and hopeless. Meanwhile, I tried having bad eating habits to alter my shape once more. I was unsuccessful.

Today, I'm in the process of regaining myself, believe me or not. My experiences have changed me and I have learned a lot from those. One of the most important things that I have learned is that one's personality is more valuable than his shape and size. Now, I am focusing on things away from me. I mean I am trying not to catch people's attention anymore through my looks. Instead, I want to do things that would help others, seriously. One way I think is sharing you my story.

On the other hand, I am still doing my best to eat better and to have a regular work out. I am doing this not just to look good but also to feel good physically. I'm currently weighing 65.5 kilos. According to the BMI, I should weigh at most 64 kilos which is normal for my height.

At the end of the day, all I want is a long and fruitful life surrounded by people who love me regardless of my figure. Awww..ü

If you are like me who wants to lose weight, one of the trainers in The Biggest Loser show said that you should not wait until January 1 to start. Start NOW.
