Pursue true love! Blogger loses 26 kg in one year off

Lee Yi-hsiu. Well-known fitness blogger. The fan page "Ikkyu helps you lose weight" has 150,000 fans and holds regular fitness activities for netizens every week. I am 170 cm tall and weigh 63 kg. Looking at my current appearance, it is hard to imagine that I used to be a fat guy weighing almost 90 kg.

I wasn’t actually fat since I was a child. Before high school, I had always been an athlete, but I broke the ligament in my left foot during a judo competition in my first year of high school, and I rarely exercised after that. After graduation, I just ate and didn’t move, and with my chaotic schedule, I started to gain weight.

After my appearance changed, the clothes I could wear were very limited. Coupled with my inferiority complex, I became more and more unkempt and resisted socializing. For a period of time, I stayed at home almost the whole day playing online games. Except for going to the toilet and eating, I spent the rest of the time sitting in front of the computer. I often played until 4 or 5 in the morning before going out to find food. After eating, I went home and fell asleep immediately. I slept until noon the next day and continued to play video games. Before I knew it, I turned myself into a fat man with acne all over my face and a body full of flesh.

I was in a period of job vacancies at that time, and my brother couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked me to be his driver and assistant. My brother is the handsome idol star Li Wei. When we stand together, we look very different. There is no shortage of sharp-tongued people in the entertainment industry. I am often "made fun of" because of my figure. A fashion designer once said in front of us in a fuss, "Are you really brothers? You don't look alike at all. Are you half-brothers?"

Happy fat man wears raincoat in hot weather to sweat and lose weight

There are two types of fat people. One type will immediately get upset when someone pokes them, and people only dare to talk about them behind their backs. The other type tries hard to be a "happy fat person" and pokes himself harder than others, trying desperately to make fun of himself. In order to make everyone like me, I chose to be a "happy fat guy" and laugh in front of others, but I was actually not happy at all in my heart. I didn’t like myself in that state.

Because the work and rest schedule in the entertainment industry is very irregular, we often shoot until dawn and have to eat very late. During the time when I was my brother's assistant, I often went out for supper with them. The artists were afraid of getting fat, so they ordered a table full of dishes and only tasted a little of each. I have a motherly personality and cannot stand food being wasted, so I was responsible for clearing the dishes every time. Over time, I became fatter and fatter, approaching the 90-pound mark.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about losing weight. On the contrary, I have made up my mind countless times, but I have failed every time. I have tried ultra-low calorie diets, visited weight loss clinics, taken diet pills, and even ate Epsom salts. I also wore a raincoat on hot days to sweat to lose weight, but the process was too painful and I couldn't sustain it, so I gave up halfway. In the process, I lost a lot of muscle, my metabolism became even lower, and I got fatter and fatter. Many times, because of over-suppressing my appetite, I finally lost my mind and ate a lot. I ate fried chicken and drank bubble tea like a starving ghost in the middle of the night. After eating, I felt full of guilt and wanted to vomit...

In the process of failure again and again, my confidence collapsed and I kept belittling myself, thinking that I was a loser who had no self-control and always broke my promises to myself.

Because I am fat, I dare not pursue the girl I like

It wasn't until I met her, a girl I loved deeply, that I made up my mind to be reborn.

We were already good friends who got along well with each other, but given my situation at the time, I didn't dare to hope to pursue such a perfect girl. One day, I plucked up the courage to ask her, "If I can lose 20 kilograms in a year, would you be willing to treat me to a meal?" Perhaps out of some kind of encouragement, she actually agreed.

This time, I was determined not to break my promise. As long as it doesn't rain, I will go out for a run every day. Even if it rains, I will require myself to do some indoor exercises. In terms of diet, I give up junk food, eat a lot of vegetables, and replace white rice with brown rice.

There was MSN at that time, and I often reported my progress to her on MSN and took the opportunity to chat with her. Perhaps it was because of the power of love that I lost 26 kilograms in a year. Not only did I get the dinner as I wished, but I also won her heart. We got married and had a lovely daughter.

A netizen once questioned: "I'm dating you because you've lost weight, is this true love?" I answered him, how can I ask others to like me when I don't even like myself?
