I mentioned yesterday that I suffered from overeating (almost bulimia). I started following a strict fit life when I was 19. It started with losing 5kg (body fat rate for 18%) after I came back from Thailand due to food poisoning. At that time, I was literally so skinny. Also, I was vegan for 6 months and I experienced half of its time in Japan and that was extremely hard. People didn't understand me and food was limited. This is reflected to Gym In Japan's website introducing vegan/vegetarian restaurant where you can get lots of protein!
I went to England to study Equine management but I changed my degree to Sports and Exercise Performance immediately because I was more interested in it. I used MyFitnesspal (food scale apps) and scale all the time and I didn't even go for clubbing with my friends because I knew drinking was bad for me. After I experienced injury, I couldn't go to gym and I started binge eating. I was just miserable. It continued after I came back to Japan. The hardest thing was, I didn't want to see people because I looked totally different.
One day, I decided to lose weight again and lost 22lbs (10kg) in 3 months. However it was too intense and I was obviously training too much and in the end it caused me a knee surgery.
I was doing alright after a couple of month after the surgery but the overeating started again because I couldn't workout as I wanted. I gained 22lbs again. Well, if you read until here, I might sound like a psycho/crazy person but I believe this can happen to people who are pursuing a fit life. This time, I decided not to go for hard training or strict diet. I decided to accept myself body shape. It took me almost three years to get here. I will talk about how I lost all the weight next time!
