Not at all dev related but I don’t have a social life so I share with you guys:)
I’ve been fat for all my life. You might say it’s my own fault blah blah but I quit sugar over 10 years ago, I don’t snack and eat 1-2 meals a day, not much more than others do.
The first time I was in good shape was when I was 16. I was growing, I started boxing and I was happy-ish with my body for the first time. I got down from 110kgs to ~87kgs, which is a good weight for me, I have heavy bones and wide shoulders I guess.
I insured my shoulder and couldn’t do boxing anymore but my weight was still pretty much stable. After working in the office for a few months I started gaining weight again, I think mainly due to the stress and lack of sleep.
In 2017 for the first time I hit a new high with 120kgs. I quit my terrible, stressful 24/7 job and relocated and got down to ~115 which I maintained for quite a while (still going to the gym and stuff).
And then the lockdown started..
I went up to >120 in no time.
(Sounds really bad but as mentioned, I’m heavy anyway so I’m not THAT obese, just fat.
Seeing my weight was really scary to me so I started a keto diet again, which I did before but with limited success.
Warning: Controversial topic coming up..
I took it a bit further and tried 0-carb (carnivore diet) instead of low carb and I lost 6kg within a month. Then the next plateau at 114, then at 112 etc.
Went more strict and removed seasoning and stuff and started eating more nutritious meat, liver, heart, tongue etc and my weight started dripping again.
Yesterday for the first time in ~a decade I got down to 105kg.
My end goal is 90, so I made it half way through.
Just really happy to have achieved this. The 1 good thing about lockdown I guess, I had so much time to be on my own.
Before you say eating no greens is bad, keep in mind that most not old people die because of obesity, not because of a lack of fiber.
It’s a big achievement for me and I hope that I can get to 90kg in another 3 months..

My first year of a 2 year course our teacher had only taught us 2 theory topics of 6 and hadn't begun to teach us the other 2/3 of the course which was programming. The only reason he took so long was because he wanted everyone to understand the topic before he moved on which meant waiting for the people who shouldn't of been allowed to take the subject because they never paid attention and showed no interest in the subject. But he refused to move on without them.
To drag those 2 topics out more one of them was algorithms. At the time he had sprained his wrist shadow boxing and instead of preparing them before hand to give us some help he would type them out while we sat and watched wasting half the lesson. Then a month or so into our second year he left leaving the other teachers to make up for everything he failed to cover with us. -

It was Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, when I decided to invest the money I had received as a gift. I was introduced to this opportunity by John Scott, who reached out to me through a mutual acquaintance. He assured me that investing a certain amount would bring good returns, and since I had some extra funds from my holiday gift, I thought it would be a great chance to grow my money. John introduced me to the investment process, and after hearing his pitch, I decided to deposit 40,000 CAD. He told me that the investment would mature in one week, at which point I would be able to withdraw my funds along with any profits. Everything seemed legitimate at first, and I was excited about the potential gains. However, as the week passed, I found myself unable to access my money. I repeatedly tried to contact the people involved, hoping to resolve the situation, but my messages went unanswered. It soon became clear that I had been scammed, and my worst fears were confirmed when I couldn’t access any of my funds. Refusing to accept the loss, I continued searching for a way to recover my money. During my search, I came across TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY, a company that specialized in helping victims of online fraud. I decided to contact them, submitting all the details of my case, including my interactions with John and the entire investment process. TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY quickly took action, filing my case and working tirelessly on my behalf. Within just four days, I received the surprising news that my 40,000 CAD had been successfully refunded and deposited back into my bank account. I was overjoyed and relieved to see the money returned, especially after the stressful experience. Thanks to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY’s professionalism and dedication, I was able to recover my funds. This experience taught me an important lesson about being cautious with online investments and the importance of seeking expert help when dealing with scams. I am truly grateful to EMAIL: support(@)techcyberforcerecovery(.)com OR WhatsApp: +.1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7 for their assistance, which allowed me to reclaim my money and end the holiday season on a much brighter note.3
