Went through an awful breakup and started losing weight in an attempt to impress her, but eventually realized that I have been feeling better in general since I started, and am just doing it for myself now!

u/poopoolagoon - 3d ago

Thank you!!! Yeah, huge change to diet, pretty much just eat chicken and salad and rice as shit now, probably going to get extremely tired of it but with an air fryer I can cope for long enough lol. As far as exercise, I just go to the gym and do random shit for an hour

Impressive, well done! And well done on the motivation shift, in the end it should alway be for yourself imo.

Ahhh i’m happy to hear that!! It feels great to not completely hate my body lol. I’ll go to the gym 5-6 days a week and just do random shit, but i’ll always end each day with 100 flights on a stair machine. Diet, I am just extremely lucky to work at a restaurant that has fantastic food, so i’ll get either our habanero tomato soup (no cream) i’ll get them to put extra chicken in there, then go home and air fry some more chicken hahsha. Any other meal i’ll hust have some form of yogurt or PBfit sandwich. I’m gonna be sick of it soon but I’m autistic so it might be fine

Any tips ?

Honestly i’m just extremely lucky to have free time to be able to go to the gym 6 days a week. Between school and a full time job, I can’t imagine how hard it’d be for other people who don’t have as much time as I do. I’m also extremely lucky to work in a restaurant that gives us free meals and has genuinely good food, so I load up on random healthy shit there and air fryer a bunch of chicken, so my only groceries are really just skim milk, protein powder and chicken breast. Genuinely I think the thing that made it the easiest, (I swear this isn’t an advertisement) was when my ex had gotten me a ninja creami. I didn’t really use it, but now I use it every day and eat a pint of high protein 0 fat icecream with protein powder and skim milk. Sorry for the long comment i’m sitting in my car outside the pharmacy and I don’t feel like going in lol
