Introduction
Breakups can leave one feeling low and depressed. However, for Reddit user Noktawr, it gave him the motivation he needed to transform his life. After being cheated on and broken up with, he decided to use the negative experience to fuel his weight loss journey. His journey resulted in shedding 72 pounds, and he's eager to continue until he is satisfied.
Starting with a Purpose
At the start of his journey, Noktawr began exercising and eating clean with the goal of looking and feeling better. Initially, he worked out 6-7 days a week, eventually cutting back to 4-5 times until he stopped altogether. Despite the break, he allowed himself to indulge in cravings after becoming comfortable with his weight, proving to himself he could maintain his progress.
Discipline and Consistency
Now, Noktawr is back to a calorie deficit, running a 5K daily, and starting PPL six days a week at the gym. He hopes to reach his goal of 220-225 pounds, and if he can't see his abs by then, he'll continue to cut until he can. He encourages those who may be hesitant about starting their weight loss journey to take it one day at a time, focusing on doing good that day.
Loving His New Self
As Noktawr continues his journey, he is amazed by the progress he has made so far. He talks about how his confidence has improved tremendously, and he's excited to reach his goals. Furthermore, he is grateful that his skin hasn't shown the potential for loose skin, which can often be discouraging for those losing large amounts of weight.
Conclusion
Like Noktawr, many people find motivation through negative experiences. However, it's essential to have discipline and consistency, as well as a purpose to achieve one's goals. For anyone considering a weight loss journey, take it one day at a time, and focus on achieving the best outcome each day. You'll be surprised by how far a little consistency can take you.
