My Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle [Part 1] Three years ago..

My Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle [Part 1] Three years ago, I made multiple attempts to lead a healthier lifestyle and exercise regularly, but I always failed. I was working at night club almost every day, making it impossible for me to avoid drinking alcohol. My attempts always ended up unsuccessful. Then, a serious problem happened that changed me forever. I felt fear, vulnerability, persecution, and betrayal. On top of that, I contracted COVID-19, which triggered my depression. At that time, I was living in a small room, and all I wanted was to sleep in the dark and take Alprazolam to cope with anxiety and panic attacks . The most significant role for me was the support and belief of my friend, Boris. His progress and desire to move forward motivated me to make changes in my life. Unfortunately, not a single friend supported me. Boris was the first one to help me pay for personal training, and that's where it all began. Maybe he's still subscribed to my page, so I want to say hello and a massive thank you to him. These first photos were taken when I bought the program, and as it seemed to me, I was very determined. Of course, I didn't complete a single workout from the program. My motivation for sports is not related to the desire to have a beautiful body to attract men's attention, as many think. It is related to the desire to survive and continue living. Sports helped me survive and overcome the difficulties I experienced. No one except me knows how much effort I put in to feel the desire to move and live. No one knows my real pain. Even today, after three years, every morning rise and every workout is difficult for me, and I often want to give up. But something inside me doesn't allow me to give up, and I continue to move forward. Many of us face difficulties and challenges where we need support from those around us. Sometimes, this support can come from unexpected sources such as online friends. I am grateful for my online friends who have been with me throughout my journey, giving me motivation and support when I needed it the most. Although we do not know each other personally, our friendship has become a significant part of my life. Thanks to them, I never felt alone and always had a place to share my thoughts and feelings. I want to thank each and every one of them for their kindness, support, and for being with me throughout this time. I believe that true friendship does not depend on distance or time, and I am very happy to have such friends who will always be there for me, no matter where I am.
