would love to post before, after pics but im kind of anxious about that (nvm, yolo. found only one random before pic that does not really show anything, like i was not really taking shirtless pics before https://imgur.com/a/uGoopVL )
took a video of myself doing pull ups shirtless today and kind of realized that i am a triangle now
without really a lot of efford, really. i have now spent one year on a largely vegan, whole food plant based diet supplemented with protein shakes and bouldering 3 times a week (including a lot of post-workouts with pull ups etc). i love bouldering as it is just a lot of fun, and i dont have to force myself going to the gym as i just automatically go there when i am bored or looking for some fun. i went from your average skinny fat dude to a triangle.
the psychological aspects are also kinda crazy. its fucking weird, like if i look down onto myself i do still see and perceive myself as fat. like, yea i've been so for most of my life, and it will take some time to change that image. also, i have not found any more success with girls (being left by one was honestly one of the main impulses why i started caring about my body) or maybe even less than before.
but the upsided of this kind of living is amazing. like yo, i am rarely ever sick (i used to be sick every two months or so, now i have been sick once (!) in the past year), i can join into sporty activities without getting exhausted immediatley, and last time when i was at a party and i took my sweater off the girls went all " uhh " so that was also kinda nice. also things like.. i am used to hate locker rooms from sports classes at school because i frequently got comments about my weight. recently, one dude i know came up, touched by upper body and i was already mentally completley ready for humiliation, before he said something like " yo dude your fucking shaped, what happened ". like something inside of me still believes that its irony but yo
what a weird stage of my life, i am just struck by a constant anxiety of losing my gains and getting fat again, i guesss it will take some time to internalize my new habits.
but yea, life as a triangle is good. my mental health was never as good and stable as it is today and honestly, i am eveen enjoying eating much more than i used to as i am eating carefully prepared plant-based meals with plenty of spices, nuts and seeds instead of eating, e.g. toast with nutella for lunch. having like a " natural array " of flavors is super nice.
