Introduction

On reddit, user pizzagal shared her six-year journey of weight gain, starting from 135lbs and ending up at 165lbs. The inspiring aspect of her story is that she embraced bulking even though it was scary at first. Her journey has imbued wisdom and knowledge that can help other weight enthusiasts.

Bulking Up is Significant for Weight Gain

There is fear and judgment when it comes to bulking up as people tend to think it leads to uncontrolled weight gain. However, the practice of increasing calorie and protein intake through regular exercise and weight lifting can lead to significant yet well-controlled weight gain. Bulking up can help to build muscle mass and increase strength.

The Significance of Being Strong and Fit

Pizzagal's transformation from a thin frame to a muscular one indicates that being strong and fit is more than just about looks. Strong muscles can help reduce the risk of some chronic illnesses such as type 2 diabetes and blood pressure. In addition, it can help to boost metabolism and heal the body faster.

Sportswear is an Important Part of Fitness

Good sportswear is essential for a good fitness routine. It is important to have appropriate sportswear that is comfortable and breathable according to the activity. Pizzagal recommended her Lululemon sports bra which is durable and fits well.

Embrace Your Journey

The user's weight gain journey has taken around six years, and it required perseverance and commitment. It is essential to motivate yourself by looking at yourself in the mirror, and not comparing yourself to others. Embrace the journey, learn from it, and try different approaches. As pizzagal puts it, do not be afraid to bulk up.
