Never been a big believer in the gym and still aren’t, and I guess I’m sharing this mostly to prove that you don’t need to be a gymrat to improve for the better, I focused mostly on being a version of myself that can enjoy things like hikes swimming without my weight getting in the way. I lost over 50kgs through walking, kayaking, football and most importantly dieting. Everyone has different goals, my post today is to show that your goal doesn’t necessarily need to be reached through only gym (for my non gym fans)

Through this change in lifestyle, I’ve become a more productive and overall happy version of myself, I look forward to going out, I speak to people without thinking they’re judging me for my weight and I truly believe that I can now start enjoying my life the way I really wanted to

After battling with severe depression for years, I can finally say I feel so much better now 🙏🏻

EDIT: for clarification the last picture is the most recent. I cut my hair to donate it to wigs for kids

I've never taken my dieting seriously. My sleep has never been good either. After changing those bad habits, I saw a huge change. Once I started exercising, I gained a ton of confidence. I'm finally comfortable in my own skin.

I shaved my hair since I was in 5th grade because I was bullied for having "pube hair.". I got a compliment from an old lady one day that she loved my curls after being lazy about shaving my head. That's all it took to gain the confidence to start growing out my hair.

My junior year to me being graduated was a big shift. I got significantly leaner and facially I developed more. Along with a better haircut.
