Anerlisa Muigai on weight loss
Anerlisa Muigai had an eating disorder that made her weigh 124kgs. After that weight gain, he wanted to shed some weight and that she did and she decided to share her method of weight loss This is what she posted.
“Have you ever reached that point in your life where everyone thinks you have everything but deep down you feel you have nothing? Well, that’s how I felt last year when I was 124kgs. My world had crashed, I didn’t look forward to the next day, I had only 3 clothes that fit my size 24 body, I completely stopped loving myself, simple things like hair and nails were a mission to do. I hated everything around me, I also hated anyone who commented about my weight, just ate like a pig, to be honest. What even hurt most was seeing screen munches of people discussing about my weight and making fun of it. My family worried about me especially my mother who used to look straight into my eyes with her teary eyes begging me to lose weight. I avoided family functions because I didn’t like any comments about what I ate.
Yes, I had an eating disorder that grew over the years. I just “yo-yoed” with my weight. I guess even the reason for my stress was my battle with weight over the years. Everything seemed perfect but deep inside I saw nothing. So many things kept going through my head until one morning I woke up from my sleep, I remember my heart pumping so fast and felt like I was running out of breath, I started crying so hard but that’s when my life turned around and thought ONLY ME could change me. I also thought I had a brand Executive still water that needed my undivided attention.
On 4th Jan 2016, I decided to turn my life around by changing what I ate, started by jogging a little, step by step, day by day I made progress and that motivated me. I honestly could say so much about my struggle but today I want to thank Godia Daniel and Justin Wallis for being the biggest support system throughout my weight loss journey. You guys have taken so much bs from me but I thank you for being the best trainers ever and for been patient, you taught me that I don’t have to be great to start but I have to start to be great…
For those struggling with weight problems, I want to assure you that it is possible and it can be done if you set your mind into it. Nobody is perfect. Always remember what you eat in private, shows in public, lastly know that every day isn’t gonna be perfect, but each day you are learning, you’re growing and continue chasing the better you. Start today not tomorrow. Have a successful week and start making changes, it doesn’t have to be weight-related.
‘’Good morning, thank you for all your kind comments. I am humbled… I thought I try to answer some of your questions that most of you would like to know.
EXERCISE:- First 2 months I did 1 hr of not so intense exercise which involved walking, pilates and yoga with Godia.
The 4 months that followed I did 2 hours of serious training with an ex-military trainer. This is where I lost most of my weight (30kgs). Alternatively, there are boot camp classes in Arboretum with Imu@fkb_camp
My training till now has been one hour every day of cardio and toning up with@godiadaniel.
DIET:- I have completely cut down on sugar, I cook with olive or canola oil. I prefer steamed, boiled or grilled very lean food especially meat. I also measure my carbohydrates with a tablespoon, I only have 2 servings 3 times a week, I prefer wild rice (get from zucchini). I also take lots of of#executivestillwater. 5 liters a day. I prefer lots of proteins like beans since they keep you full for longer. Lots of sukuma wiki (kales) and spinach too are lovely for vitamins.
HUNGER:- If you exercise and see the results and also remember where you have come from, trust me the last thing in your mind is food. It’s all in the mind.
BODY:- My arms are still the hardest to lose, working towards toning them to avoid loose skin.
My stomach -: Was the first to go because even when I was big it was the last to add, still have a bit to work on.
Stretchmarks:- there are so many treatments to get rid of them, laser happens to be the one I prefer.
I hope with the above, I have answered most of your questions and I also hope that you will start making changes. Surround yourself with people with the same goals.
Motivate yourself with what eats you most, for me all the mean things I heard people discussing about my obese body, motivated me to work harder. Success is the best revenge but remembers you are doing this for yourself and your health. Have a great day, God blessings.’’ She posted
