I do appreciate the fact of being slim because I was fat.
It all happened in 2011. It was when I weighed 99 kg (~218 pounds) and was 178 cm tall. I was twenty-six years old. In March, I had an injury to the Achilles tendon. Without further details, I want to emphasize that I started to swim regularly after the injury. I lost 23kg within one year. Thus, in 2012 I weighed 76 kg (~168 pounds). I managed to swim frequently until 2018. Then, I started to gain weight. In December 2020, I weighed 85 kg (~187 pounds). During this month, I started intermittent fasting. I began to lose weight again in my life. This time without doing sport.
Moreover, in the middle of the season, when I was walking in frigid temperatures (January/February 2022), I broke my record regarding weight. I weighed less than 72 kg (~159 pounds).
I appreciate that I am slim because I can compare myself, not only visually but in general mood and well-being, with being fat. The truth is I want to be thin until the end of my life. The visual look is not a crucial issue. Of course, it is always better to look attractive than not. Still, I do not doubt that my mind works better when I am slim. I have much more energy. I sleep better.
Moreover, I can focus more easily. I learn more efficiently. I recommend, my Dear Friend, to start intermittent fasting and take cold showers. There are no better things to do for yourself than the abovementioned things.
Even if you are not fat, I still recommend doing it.
Undoubtedly, you raise the chances of living longer in happiness by doing intermittent fasting and exposing your body to cold than eating frequently and taking warm or hot showers. You will appreciate your life more intensely. The last thing I want to encourage you, my Dear Friend, is to start walking in summer clothes in frigid temperatures.
