My girlfriend broke up with me because I was too f

2025/8/12 Edited to

... Read moreWhen my girlfriend first told me she was breaking up with me, explaining it was because I was ‘too heavy,’ it felt like a punch to the gut. I was completely blindsided, even though deep down, I knew I hadn't been taking care of myself. I used to think being a little heavy didn't matter, but suddenly, it felt like the biggest mistake I'd ever made. For a while, I just wanted to drown my sorrows, indulging in even more comfort food and not caring about my increasing weight. I felt like I had no vitality, no energy, not like a typical 20-year-old should. But then, looking at myself, especially that big belly I'd grown to hate, something clicked. I realized I didn't want to feel this way anymore. I was tired of being tired. That night, I made a firm decision: I was going to change. Not just for her, but for *me*. This wasn't just about losing weight; it was about reclaiming my life and finding that lost vitality. Starting was incredibly hard. The first time I tried running, I was exhausted after just a few minutes. If you're like me, starting with a higher base weight, running can be tough on your knees. That's why I strongly recommend alternatives like swimming. It's a fantastic full-body workout that's gentle on your joints. It gave me a way to ease into exercise without getting injured or completely demotivated. There were so many days I thought about giving up. Losing weight really is too hard sometimes! Every single morning I'd wake up, and the thought of abandoning my efforts would creep in. But I kept pushing. Over time, I discovered what truly worked for me. I started incorporating morning fasted cardio, and eventually, I even found myself loving the feeling of night runs. It became a routine, a 'painful yet happy' part of my day. I experimented with various types of daily training, learning what my body responded to best. Seeing the results after half a year – dropping from 190 to 125 jin – was incredible, but the biggest change wasn't just the numbers on the scale. It was the energy, the confidence, the feeling of genuinely being healthy. I finally had that vitality I felt was missing. This journey isn't just about weight loss; it's about commitment, perseverance, and ultimately, self-love. If you're going through a similar heartbreak or just feel stuck, know that you have the power to change. I could do it, and I truly believe you can too. Focus on small, consistent steps, celebrate every victory, and remember why you started. It's a tough road, but the feeling of achieving your goals is truly worth every ounce of effort.

And if you’re honest… it probably kept you there too. In the coaching / healing / spiritual space, this is the favorite excuse: 🚫 “Selling feels cringe.” 🚫 “If they’re meant to work with me, they’ll just know.” 🚫 “Asking for money is bad.” Sounds holy... But it's actually fear. 👀
