The chapter delves into the challenges of facing weight loss plateaus and the frustration that can arise despite consistent efforts. It explores the impact of genetics on weight and health outcomes, emphasizing the importance of mindset, coaching, and financial privilege in navigating health and fitness journeys. The speaker shares personal experiences with overeating triggers, habit changes, and the pursuit of holistic health goals, advocating for individualized approaches and consistent activity to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Over the past 5 years, I’ve completely changed my relationship to my health. Prior to that, I was overweight, pre-diabetic, and having chest pains in my mid-30s. I thought maybe eating a salad once a week and going for a run every now then would take care of it. I was wrong.
Since then, I’ve lost 60 pounds (~30kg). I now enjoy exercising regularly and I eat healthy and nutritious foods. My daily life is much more physically active and I get way better sleep. I’m happy with my health now—but it took a long time to get here.
I’m not going to share a bunch of workout routines or complicated diets. What worked for me might not work for you. But I can share what I went through to get here in the hopes that you, too, might change how you think about your health and take it more seriously. Because at the end of the day, your health is definitely something you should give a f*ck about.
