“So, at the end of February 2019, my weight is 224 lbs. My goal is to get to 176 lbs and only after that, go to the gym to build my muscle weight. I still eat according to my schedule but most of the time it is hard to eat 1,500 cal, and I end up eating only about 1,200-1,300 cal.

What has changed since the moment I started losing weight and counting calories? I can wear jeans that I couldn’t wear before, and when I go upstairs I don’t feel like I’m going to suffocate. Now, I even take selfies, which I used to avoid before and I found out that I actually have cheekbones!

Of course, there are also some unpleasant things that come along with losing weight. For example, I’m freezing all the time now and my digestion doesn’t work as well as it used to. But I know that once my body gets accustomed to the new weight, these effects will disappear. And when it comes to the money, I spend less now because meat costs less than sausage. And cabbage, no matter the quality, is really cheap.”
