Slimme gewichtsverlies hacks: Mijn reis van 50 kilo verloren!

Savvy Weight Loss Hacks: My Journey of Losing 50 Kilos!

When I was 18, I used to avoid mirrors, learned to look away because I didn’t want to see the truth – I weighed 125 kilos.

But one day, I got into my car and I couldn’t help but see my reflection. I didn’t recognize the man looking back.

I sat in the car and cried. Then I went home to my mother and for the first time, I told her that I couldn’t take it anymore and that I needed to do something about my weight. It was the beginning of a long journey that eventually led me to lose almost 50 kilos.

Over time, I learned things I wish I had known earlier. These are the things no one told me about weight loss.

Being obese affected my daily life. It made looking in the mirror and shopping for clothes a nightmare. There was also a constant feeling of not being like everyone else.

“Today I exercise regularly, and it’s so much more fun than it was in the beginning.”

My whole body began to heal itself. My skin got better, my stomach got better, I started sleeping better, and I was so much happier. Medications I had taken for different conditions before, I no longer needed to use.

Now that I understand how important it is to be healthy, I am always conscious of what I put in my body.

My journey was sometimes tough, but I had to make the mistakes I needed to make to get where I am now.

The most important lesson

The most important thing I learned is the value of recognizing failure. Because when you do, you open new paths.

I once heard a quote: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
