Ladies and gentlemen, fellow artists, actors, singers, voiceover artists, reviewers, online personalities, television personalities, academics, friends, family members, and all my loved ones, I present my torrid yet rewarding odyssey of losing weight. From 2019 to this year, I have hurled obesity out of my door for good. The journey has been arduous, but I feel happier and healthier. Sure, my lightest weight this year was 10 stone 5 pounds (145 pounds or 66 kilograms), as my last photo is evidence of my recent achievement. However, I was complacent and ballooned back to my heaviest weight this year of 12 stone 2.6 pounds (170.6 pounds or 77.4 kilograms) last July. At least this recent blunder served as a sobering reminder that I had to keep picking up the pace of my weight loss progress by doing way more exercise than last year, let alone the previous months. There have been fringe benefits, though. As of this month, I have gone down to 11 stone 9.4 pounds (163.4 pounds or 74.1 kilograms), thus maintaining my overall 5-stone 8.3-pound (78.3-pound or 35.5-kilogram) weight loss for two years straight. My blood pressure is no longer high, but I must reduce my relatively high uric acid levels. Several clothes that were once too tight to fit ended up either loose on me or comfortably fitting. I walk and run faster than I ever did on my journeys from home to the university and many other destinations within Berlin. Many of my loved ones have been remarking that I look good and should maintain weight. These are phenomenal, but I know I can do more to be the slimmer man I should be. The numbers that I am looking at range between a 6-pound (2.7-kilogram) to a 3-stone 5-pound (47-pound or 21.3-kilogram) weight loss to maintain my healthy weight range. I remain steadfast in my resolve to continue losing as much weight as possible. Thank you all for your constant encouragement throughout my journey thus far, and I will continue to live as healthily as possible. That is a promise I shall gladly keep to you all.
Weight Loss Progress
Hello, everybody. Antoni here, and I have some wonderful news regarding my weight progress so far. I am now at 10 stone 8.2 lbs (148.2 lbs or 67.2 kg) in my weight loss journey that lasted nearly barely three years from now. I could not be any happier because I am officially at my normal weight, but I do aspire to achieve more weight loss goals than ever before, especially with my coveted 7-stone-2 pound (100-pound or 45.4-kilogram) weight loss goal being put into firm practice. I started my weight loss journey back on August 29, 2019 weighing in at 17 stone 3.6 lbs (241.6 lbs or 109.6 kg), which meant that I was heading into trouble with becoming more obese than I was if I did not control myself. Mind you, it was not the first time that I was classified as medically obese at worst and medically overweight at best, as I have been on a constantly struggling odyssey with my weight nearly all of my life. However, after watching weight loss documentaries and shows such as Fat Families, Supersize vs Superskinny, and Secret Eaters, especially during my pre-university vacation in Paris, Bordeaux, and Dresden, I began to adapt to walking a whole lot more from A to B instead of constantly relying on public transportation, specifically for one-hour journeys by foot, and I even adapted to surviving on child-sized portions plus liquids as my only meal. This was a habit that I ended up integrating when walking from my home to my university, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and vice-versa, with the fruits of my labour paying off, despite the occasional binge or two. In 2020, my weight loss progress was more fully realised when I lost 3 stone 1 lb (43 lbs or 19.5 kg), making me land at 14 stone 2.6 lbs (198.6 lbs or 90.1 kg). This was also helped by the fact that, since it was during the first Covid-19 pandemic wave, public places such as restaurants and takeaway places were on lockdown, thus reducing my urge to binge and, most of all, lust for takeaway food, which was one of my greatest downfalls of all time plus my excessive intake of carbohydrates. Although I was still medically obese, I did not want to be complacent, and I was introduced by a very great friend and their wonderful family to the Keto lifestyle. I refuse to call it a diet because the Keto lifestyle really did address where I went wrong with my eating habits and patterns. Thanks to the consistency I did my best to maintain, I was no longer classified as obese but medically overweight during my tenure of losing weight from September to December of 2020. In fact, on December 31, 2020, I weighed 12 stone 8.4 lbs (176.4 lbs or 80 kg), which kept my motivation even higher than ever before. 2021 saw me constantly battling with my weight even more, although I still thanked my lucky stars that I was no longer classified as obese. I even reached my lightest weight of 11 stone 1.4 lbs (155.4 lbs or 70.5 kg), which meant that I was in my normal weight for the first time in years. It made me feel a whole lot happier, healthier, and set for life. However, I did stumble and ended up regaining some weight because I did lose a drastic amount of weight from mid-June to late-July by restricting my food intake almost to the extreme. All of this meant that my cravings were coming back with a mighty vengeance, but I still obtained compliments from friends, relatives, and people I have been in good contact with about how much healthier I looked and how much slimmer I looked in comparison to the many occasions where I tried to lose weight. At least the encouragement served to further strengthen my resolve. This year, my weight may have gone up and down, but I still managed to do my very best to keep the mantra of eating less and moving more, thus living on a calorie deficit complimented by physical activity such as walking, floor exercises, and stretching. I also did what I could to decrease the amount of calories I was taking in a day and always reserved Fridays for fasting. After regaining some weight and losing it again, I managed to 7.3 lbs (3.3 kg) lighter than what I was last year when I was at my lightest weight. Now, I am proud to say that I am 10 stone 8.2 lbs (148.2 lbs or 67.2 kg) putting me nicely in my normal weight range with a normal BMI of 23.5. I could not be any prouder let alone happier for myself that I have achieved being at my normal weight range. As I said before, I cannot afford to rest on my laurels let alone be complacent. Ever since I heard multiple testimonies of people losing over 7 stone 2 lbs (100 lbs or 45.4 kgs) of weight in certain amounts of time ranging from 5 months to 4 years, I thought it would be great if I got myself into this too. After all, I am about to celebrate my third year weight loss anniversary this coming August 29, which makes it 3 weeks and 2 days from now. My goal weight is 10 stone 1.6 lbs (141.6 lbs or 64.2 kg), which means I have 6.6 lbs (3 kg) to lose in order for me to attain that goal. Any weight that is lower than 10 stone 1.6 lbs (141.6 lbs or 64.2 kg) is all the better for me, especially when I aspire to reach 9 stone (126 lbs or 57.1 kg). The point I want to drive home is that any weight lost is better than any weight regained. I am happy that I have come this far, and I never want to go back to being overweight ever again because I am far too gorgeous to ever be…
The clock is ticking, as I have five more days until I celebrate my two-year weight loss anniversary. So far, I have more or less achieved my 6-stone (38.1-kg or 84-lb) weight loss goal in barely two years. Yes, I did go up and down as well as have occasions of weakness, but I feel like I am on the right direction, considering that I did not put all the weight back on. I also have to keep reminding myself that my weight loss is all about health, self-love, high self-esteem, and, most importantly, dignity. Since saying farewell to takeaways, screw off to binging, fat off to lame excuses, go flip yourself to laziness and complacency, and shut up to not making myself and my health my highest priority, I have learned to place my health, dignity, and self-esteem at the forefront of my life. I would ideally love to lose over half a stone (3.2 kg or 7 lbs) over the course of the next few days, but 2.2 to 5 more pounds (1 to 2.3 kg) of weight lost means that I am on the right direction. Watch this space after five days, my dear family, friends, and inspirers.
Hello, everybody, Antoni here, and I am really happy to tell you that I am now in my healthy weight range. After years of diet yo-yoing, the wavering motivation, the denial of my own weight, and the realization of why I had to lose the excess weight in the very first place, I have finally accomplished what I have wanted to pursue for the longest period of time. Barely two years ago, I was at my second heaviest weight of 17 stone 3.6 lbs (241.6 lbs or 109.6 kg). I realized that it was time for major change, which further propelled my realization that I can live on less food, avert binging, be more physically active, and find healthier alternatives to my overall lifestyle. Keeping up with my weight loss progress one year on, I ended up losing 3 stone 1 lb (43 lbs or 19.5 kg), thus making me land at 14 stone 2.6 lbs (198.6 lbs or 90.1 kg). Speaking to all of you today, I have now lost another 3 stone 1.2 lb (43.2 lbs or 19.6 kg), thus making me now 11 stone 1.4 lbs (155.4 lbs or 70.5 kg) and clocking my total weight loss at 6 stone 2.2 lbs (86.2 lbs or 39.1 kg). I am so ecstatic and proud of myself for making it this far and I am greatly elated to know that I have a new lease on life which will last for a long duration of time. My whole struggle with my weight has not been a story that was entirely new to me. I used to enjoy all types of food as a child, but the awareness of my weight started when I was doing ballet as a child from 5 to 10 years old. Being in ballet may have commenced my love of the performing arts, but I realized that I was one of the chunkiest children out of all my former colleagues in the ballet school I attended. Even when I looked back at the performances I was in, most notably one of the children from Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker”, I realized that I could be a whole lot slimmer and I was even told that I should endeavor to lose a bit more weight if ever I were to pursue a career as a danseur. Thankfully, this was not going to be the case because, as much as I enjoyed my ballet classes after school and on the weekends, I knew fully well that I was not going to be a danseur in the future although I had an idea of how I should be able to control my body, especially when it came to dance, when it came to my participation in various school plays, and getting myself into physical activities such as rock-climbing, soccer, and basically participating in playground games with my school mates, classmates, and friends. With my experience of participating in a multitude of school plays and immersing myself into playing the violin, I knew how much I had to polish my craft in order to gain a sense of passion and determination through the fields I liked. My weight might have been a part of how I was going to look on stage, but it took a backseat to how much I had to practice my lines and be familiar with stage blocking and my growing ambition to want to be in the entertainment world. The increased awareness of my weight began to perpetuate when I was a 12-year-old sixth-grader. Sure, I did start developing acne when I was an 11-year-old fifth-grader in the later stages of schooling, but the discourse of my youth was revolving around my weight. Ever since I tuned in to a lot of infomercials focusing on fat-free cooking, muscle-toning gadgets, and a huge bevy of weight loss products, I became more aware of what I was eating, even though I did not buy any of their products. A part of the motivation of why I wanted to lose weight and be acne-free mainly involved my passion for the performing arts, my dream of wanting to become an actor, a singer, and a voice actor, and how much scrutiny there was going to be should I step in front of the camera and/or go on stage. Coupled with my increasing love for anime and my first experience traveling as an unaccompanied minor to Oxford, I was starting to fully convince myself that I could and should be a lot thinner if I was more mobile and if I kept the will for independence top of mind as my motivation to keep losing weight and be healthier. This thought of me wanting to become thinner perpetuated when I was a 13-year-old seventh-grader from becoming more conscientious of calories to looking up to a lot of the Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, GMA, ABS-CBN, FOX, and ABC stars of the early to mid-2000s to even aspiring to become as thin as Jeff McCallister from Home Alone 1 and 2 and Edmund Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe respectively played by Michael Maronna and Skandar Keynes. Stretching the thinness appeal was my fascination of goth clothing as a means for me to express my creative and artistic side, especially where my love of literature and anime was concerned, and the equal appeal of having a dark, prosaic, gloomy viewpoint of the world around me. I even remembered during my middle-school swimming lessons that my instructor noted how loose my swimming trunks became on me, considering that I also tried to flatten my belly with the use of a Nestlé cereal drink which claims to reduce bloating. My middle-school battle with my weight was not as egregious as I thought it was because of how it was more of a prioritization of vanity rather than the health implications I would have acquired if I did not maintain a healthy lifestyle. Things were about to change when I…
Yesterday I have written my academic essay exam which I have managed to finish with a lot of confidence, despite my anxiety of what grade I am going to receive because I have worked really hard for it. After that, I rewarded myself with a two-hour walk while surviving on a shake I made out of vanilla soy milk, frozen berries, frozen berries with yoghurt, cereals, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. Today, this is the result of my efforts as I manage to currently weigh in at 11 stone 4.5 lbs (158.5 lbs or 71.9 kg), which is between over a pound (500 grams) more until I reach my highest healthy weight of 11 stone 3 lbs (157 lbs or 71.4 kg) and 3 stone (42 lbs or 19.1 kg) more until I reach my lowest healthy weight of 8 stone 4.4 lbs (116.4 lbs or 52.8 kg). To celebrate this recent achievement of my weight loss progress, I have decided to exhibit the two articles of clothing I used to wear as a supersize young adult from 19 to 22 but have now become really big on me. The IAFT shirt that I don served as my uniform when I was a 19-year-old in actor’s training in this particular film institute. After graduating the mad gauntlet that was high school, I thought I was free from the control I thought I had with myself and, of course, with food. Through IAFT, I have found a great cavalcade of friends and colleagues I shared so much in common with, but my weight skyrocketed from being a paunchy high school senior to a horribly obese student in actor’s training. Despite me wanting to lose weight with the diet pills and trying to avoid food, I was practically surrounded by food to the point where I became a binger, a comfort eater, and a confused calorista rolled into one major culinary conundrum. It also did not help that I ate huge portions whether I was with my friends or with my family. This horrid eating habit had a negative effect on my waistline as well as on my repertoire. Because I was the fat guy in my class, I felt like my track record in the roles I did my best in hampered whatever potential I could have had in doing more leading male roles let alone dramatic roles. At least some experiences I endured during my film school year served as one impetus to get my weight down and keep it off. By the time I was a twenty-two-year-old in vocational training as an actor in art of acting Schauspielschule Berlin, I was still obese being over 14 stone 4 lbs (200 lbs or 90.7 kg), but it was not as bad as when I was nineteen and weighing in at over 17 stone 8 lbs (246 lbs or 112 kg). My physicality might have improved, but I was still a calorie conundrum with both a love for good food but a lust for takeaway food, snacks, pasta, rice, and cheese. When my Christmas break came in full swing back in 2014, I celebrated the holidays in Canada with Christmas and Boxing Day in Toronto and New Year’s in Vancouver. I decided to spend my Boxing Day going into one of the shops to buy four pairs of 34×36 Old Navy blue jeans which were 75% off its original price and I am wearing one of them now. I remembered how snug it used to be on me at best; however, when I returned to the 17-stone (238-lb or 108-kg) mark as a 27-year-old done with my A-Levels and entering university, the jeans were quite tight. The now 6 going on 7-year-old pairs of Old Navy blue jeans and the colored, striped shirt given to me as a Christmas gift by my flatmate’s sister, brother-in-law, and grown-up children residing in Toronto served as further motivations for me to ensure that the weight stayed off for good. My weight loss odyssey was certainly no easy task at all, considering how much I had to redress all of my eating habits, finding out why I was so hungry, and fully realizing the horror of how much my lust for food was destroying all the potential I had as an actor, singer, voice actor, reviewer, and an overall person. Speaking to you as a 29-year-old man, I am so happy I have come this far in my weight loss. The fact that my IAFT shirt and one of the Old Navy blue jeans I bought in Toronto are now loose on me serve as battle scars and pieces of absolute catharsis which I am more than ecstatic to have acquired. The sheer sweetness of this recent progress has motivated me to never ever rest on my laurels and I will certainly keep the momentum up on a continuous basis. I am even tempted to donate this shirt and this pair of jeans to either charity or send them back to my family as mementos of how far I have come to lose this excess weight of mine. I may have over a measly pound (500 grams) to a whopping 3 stone (42 lbs or 19.1 kg) of excess weight to lose, but I cannot afford to be complacent by any stretch of the imagination. For my weight loss to keep on working, I have continue being as committed as possible to know that I have to do this for the good of my health. Doing it for looks, based on what I used to wear as a fatter young adult, is never going to suffice. Combining the health factors with how I look, the confidence factor, and the boost on my self-esteem makes my weight loss all the more worth fighting for. So join me as a I proudly proclaim, bon voyage, fatty bum-bum, and don’t come back!
Hello, everybody. I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July, Canada Day, and even Philippine Independence Day, even though this latter holiday was celebrated over three weeks ago. Regardless, I just want to celebrate these three holidays which have signified so much in my life and heritage the only way I know how; by showing my weight loss progress from January to today. This is specifically done by wearing my most favorite polo shirt that was given to me as a Christmas gift six-and-a-half years ago. On rudimentary terms, this shirt which used to be bulging on me is now a nice fit without problem spots whatsoever. I even have some room to spare just to add to my overall jubilation of how far I have come and how much I will continue to be in hot pursuit of being within my optimally healthy weight range of 11 stone 3 lbs (157 lbs or 71.4 kg) to 8 stone 13.8 lbs (125.8 lbs or 57.1 kg) as stated by the NHS and Get Healthy New South Wales. January of this year was when I affirmed that this new year meant a whole new me. Compared to what I weighed back in December 2020, I went from 12 stone 11.02 lbs (179.02 lbs or 81.2 kg) to 12 stone 8.38 lbs (176.68 lbs or 80 kg). Throughout January, I maintained my weight at best yet gained a bit at worst. Nevertheless, within the months of February until April, I lost weight very slowly ranging between a 2 to 3 pound or 1 kilo weight loss, then weighing in at 12 stone 6.17 lbs (174.17 lbs or 79 kg). May to June marked an acceleration of my weight loss. Within the entire month of May, I went from 12 stone 5.28 lbs (173.28 lbs or 78.6 kg) to 12 stone 1 lb (169 lbs or 76.5 kg). Subsequently, within the month of June, I went from 12 stone 1 lb (169 lbs or 76.5 kg) to 11 stone 7.6 lbs. I knew from there that this was direction I was so glad to have taken. Now, as of this month, I am 11 stone 7.16 lbs (161.16 lbs or 73.1 kg). For the first time, in my adult life and probably after years of being on the chunky yet see-sawing side of my weight as a teenager, I am now in the 11-stone line. I still have about 4.16 lbs (1.8 kg) to 2 stone (28 lbs or 12.7 kg) to lose, but I am on my way to live and lead the slim life I want and need to live full of vivacity, confidence, and the self-assurance to know that I am in great professional, personal, career-driven, healthy stead of a new lease of life. I have come this far to conquer my lust for takeaway food, excessive snacking, comfort eating, emotional eating, and mindless eating and I am never going back to being obese ever again. The results of what I have had to endure these past six months scream the results. These past six months have proven to me that I am way too gorgeous to be fat and there is no way that I am ever going back to being a massive fatty, a blobby and blubbery belly, an oversized wobbly bum, and/or lardy butter mountain of a chomper. I shall say this once and I will say this again. I am far too gorgeous, too independent, too confident, too outspoken, and too sociable to ever be a lardy, massive fatty!
Happy New Year, everybody, Antoni here and I am really ecstatic to show you all how far I have come when I did this -ber month weight loss project. In September, I began at 14 stone 1.76 lbs (197.76 lbs or 89.7 kg). Now, I am down to 12 stone 8.38 lbs (176.38 lbs or 80 kg), thus achieving my one-and-a-half-stone (21-pound or 9.525-kilogram) weight loss. Sure, I weighed lesser than that a few days ago, and I did go through moments of weakness. However, I have always reminded myself that any weight lost is much better than any weight regained, which is progress in of itself. I am glad that I am opening the new year with a new me, as the fringe benefits have been on show. The collared shirt that I have at the fourth picture fits me so much better than when I first wore it five to six years ago. That was given to me by my flatmate’s sister in Toronto when I visited their place on Christmas Eve six years ago. It was initially a challenge to get that shirt on because the bulges were still conspicuous. Now that I am on my way to a healthier weight, i.e. 11 stone 3 lbs (157 lbs or 71.4 kg), the shirt fits me really well to the point where there is still some space left and I am so proud of myself for being below the obesity mark. Sure, I am still clinically overweight, but I am not going to stop until all the weight melts off me for good. I also have to keep reminding myself that my weight loss is not just about looking and feeling better about myself. It is also about my personal health and how much I need to be fit for myself and for my friends and family. I need to continue to set an example for my nieces and nephews that they do not have to end up looking as big as I was, but they need to eat healthily and lead an actively productive lifestyle. Gluing the health and appearance aspects of my weight loss is the confidence aspect. Losing all this excess weight has also given me the greatest boosts in confidence I have ever had and I feel better about myself knowing that I do not need to overeat to feel better about myself. I have kicked my comfort eating habits to the curb. I have bade farewell to my mindless snacking. I have even told all fears and insecurities to vamoose and never come back. Therefore, I am never going back to my old ways and I can see a healthier, brighter, and greater future with more independence and mobility thanks to the stones and pounds or kilos being all shed away for good and for all. The old adage of being a new year and a new me does keep repeating. Nonetheless, it continues to ring true, as I continue to make sure that all of the excess pounds melt right off from me and say hello to a brand new me. Losing weight has made me feel better about myself, gain a whole lot more vitality to boost my health, and made me blessed to know that self love and self care should be my greatest priorities in every aspect of my life. I hope you all enjoyed this, I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and Happy New Year, everybody.
Happy First Week of Advent, everybody, Antoni here with another -ber month weight loss update. This is the third -ber month, university has come in full swing once again, despite it being another digital semester, but at least I am still on my grind. I started November weighing in at 13 stone 1.21 lbs (183.21 lbs or 83.1 kg). I have ended this -ber month weighing at 12 stone 11.46 lbs (179.46 lbs or 81.4 kg). This means I have lost 3.75 lbs (1.7 kg) throughout this month. It may not be the biggest monthly weight loss I have done, but I realized the fringe benefits. From September to November, I have managed to lose 1 stone 4.3 lbs (18.3 lbs or 8.3 kg), which means I am 2.7 lbs (1.225 kg) near my stone-and-a-half (21-lb or 9.525-kg) weight loss goal. Furthermore, even though I continue to not be classified as obese anymore according to my current BMI of 28.5, I still have a long way to go until I get to a much healthier weight range. I now have between 1 stone 11.05 lbs (22.05 lbs or 10 kg) to 3 stone 11.57 lbs (53.57 lbs or 24.3 kg) of excess weight to go, but I am more than willing to make sure that the skinny life shall be led. I do not want to rest on my laurels because I have to remind myself that any weight lost is much better than any weight regained. Furthermore, I want to continue setting an example to my nieces and nephews that being healthy, independent, and feeling great about yourself is the way to go. I knew what it was like being obese and I do not recommend ending up that size. I will continue to motivate myself and I will do my best to keep the weight off for the rest of my natural life. I am really happy that I got this far in my weight loss in a matter of over two months and I am really excited for December. Have a most blessed Advent, everybody.
Happy Halloween, everybody! I know I may not be going trick-or-treating, but I have a treat that I am sure you will all endeavor to sit in for a spell. Throughout the month of October, I went from being 13 stone 6.5 lbs to 13 stone 1.65 lbs (188.5 lbs or 85.5 kg to 183.65 lbs or 83.3 kg). Therefore, I lost a total of 4.85 pounds or 2.2 kilograms of my weight. This may not be the greatest amount I have achieved throughout this second -ber month due to the occasional fluctuation of my weight, but I can still have a great sense of perception of the fringe benefits that were in store for me. In stark comparison to how much I weighed back in September or the first -ber month, which was 14 stone 1.76 lbs (197.76 lbs or 89.7 kg), I have managed to achieve my 1-stone (14-pound or 6.35-kilogram) weight loss goal, thus making me lose 1 stone 0.11 lbs (14.11 lbs or 6.4 kg). Even better was how much weight I lost when I began my weight loss journey back on August 27, 2019 weighing in at 17 stone 3.64 lbs (241.64 lbs or 109.6 kg), as I have managed to smash my 4-stone (56-pound or 25.4-kilogram) weight loss goal by shedding a grand total of 4 stone 1.98 lbs (57.98 lbs or 26.3 kg). Furthermore, my BMI has decreased to 29.2. Even though I am still clinically overweight, i.e. 1 stone 12.23 lbs (26.23 lbs or 11.9 kg) overweight, at least I am no longer clinically obese. November is about to open its doors. It is going to be quite a stressful month because of the fact that my next semester is going to start on November 3 and that my duties as an online content creator is going to be a lot more loaded than ever before because I would love to commence on my submissions for this year’s Red Ribbon Reviewers’ Month. Nevertheless, I am really excited for what November has to offer. I am more determined than ever to make sure that I am either at the 12-stone 8.38-pound mark (176.38-pound or 80-kilogram) or below that target. Even if I will not end up making it below that aforementioned target, I will always keep in mind that any weight lost is a whole lot better than any weight regained. There is still a lot of work to do and I do not want to rest on my recent 1-stone (14-pound or 6.35-lbs) laurels, as there is still between 1 stone 12.23 lbs (26.23 lbs or 11.9 kg) to 4 stone 1.76 lbs (57.76 lbs or 26.2 kg) of excess weight to shed in order for me to be at a much healthier weight. Nobody said that weight loss is easy, but it is something worth fighting for not only for my personal confidence, happiness with who is staring back at me in the mirror, and the longevity that does correlate to my never-ending quest for eternal youth, but also for my own personal health. When I went to the doctor to get my vaccination a couple of weeks ago due to this month’s flu season, it was discovered by one of the nurses that my blood pressure was quite high. Therefore, this is further motivation for me to keep on losing weight, maintain a healthy diet through the Keto diet, be a whole lot more active by doing housework and exercise all with gusto and joy, and generally eating less and moving more. For me, weight loss is for more than just mere vanity, but it is also giving myself the impetus to lead a much healthier, more independent, and more free-spirited life. It is not just about me looking and feeling phenomenal in all of the goth-punk clothing I would love to make myself wear on a nearly daily basis, feeling confident as a gay serial singleton who fancies muscular men, and a guy who is extremely passionate about anime, cartoons, opera, film, theater, journalism, and music and entertainment in general, but it is also about me ensuring that my life continues to have purpose in terms of health and not jeopardizing my own health and lifestyle with a “you only live once attitude” towards foods that may be palatable but are actually harmful to my health. I wish you the happiest and healthiest of Halloweens and let us just hope and pray that November, in spite of it being stressful, will be a much better month filled to the brim with more prospects for better health.
Well, this is a great way to start the second -ber month. I went from being 13 stone 7.6 lbs to 13 stone 6.5 lbs (189.6 lbs to 188.5 lbs or 86 kg to 85.5 kg). This means that I have lost 1.1 lbs or 0.5 kg of my weight. If I keep going on like this, I will definitely be on my way to losing those extra 7 to 14 lbs or 3.175 to 6.35 kg by the end of this month. Furthermore, this has also been good news for my BMI, as it went from being 30.1 to 29.9, which makes me no longer classified as clinically obese, but clinically overweight for a guy like me stands at 5 feet 6.5 inches or 169 cm tall. I still have a long way to go, but thanks to the Keto Diet, I am on my way to a much healthier weight range and also that extra 7 to 14-pound monthly weight loss. Any weight loss is much better than any weight gained and I will make damn sure that I do not go back to my old ways. This Keto Diet is sustainable and doable and I am glad to keep the ball rolling.
