2 years into my addiction recovery I gained 90 pounds #addictionrecovery #weightloss #shorts - Video

In the early stages of my recovery, I naively believed that I could eat anything without consequence. However, this mindset led to a significant weight gain of around 90 pounds in just two years. Struggling with low self-esteem and physical limitations, I realized that I needed a change. Surgery and diet pills were not feasible options, so I made the decision to seek the guidance of a personal trainer.

Under the guidance of my personal trainer, I embarked on a transformative journey that went beyond mere weight loss. I began to learn about the importance of nourishing my body, rather than mindlessly consuming whatever I desired. Through consistent effort and discipline, I started to regain control over my health and well-being.

During this process, my personal trainer introduced me to CrossFit, which became a turning point in my recovery journey. Engaging in CrossFit workouts not only made me physically stronger but also instilled in me a sense of empowerment. I discovered the joy of pushing my limits and realizing that I was capable of achieving difficult tasks.

The combination of personalized training and the empowering nature of CrossFit allowed me to tap into my inner strength and resilience. Step by step, I regained my confidence, feeling more in control of my body and my life. No longer weighed down by self-doubt, I found a renewed sense of purpose and determination.

Today, I can proudly say that I have transformed my recovery journey. Through the commitment to mindful eating, physical training, and the empowering practice of CrossFit, I have not only shed the excess weight but also developed a healthier relationship with food and exercise. The process has taught me that I am capable of overcoming challenges and achieving my goals.
