A foreword

If you we're expecting killer abs and with the most well built body, I would like to apologize to you in advance as I am not that guy. My name is Aaron, I am 22 this year and I am on a journey. A journey of working towards being in the best shape of my life.

My current weight, 87.6 kg's

A little about me, I was born in Klang, a small town in the state of Selangor in Malaysia, and I have been obese from as long as I can remember. Growing up as the fat kid, caused me struggles from a day to day basis, which had lead me having a very low self image leading to self esteem issues a huge part of my teenage life. I did not want to meet new people, make new friends mostly because I was ashamed of how I looked. However, there was an entire different side of me that just knew that there was so much more out there in this world to experience if I could just muster up some courage or confidence to do so. Then when I was 16, my obesity took a turn for the worse as a casual visit to the doctors landed me in an area whereby if I did not do something about the fat in my face it was going to get me blind. My family decided to move to the city of Puchong where I had a chance of a brand new start with brand you people. I took the two month of holidays during the end of the year so start exercising. Little steps everyday, from walking to jogging to running. It was a process that was bringing progress, and during that holiday I managed to lose 10kgs which brought me from a waist size of 42 to 38.

It felt like a new dawn, it felt like fresh air, it felt like I was finally ready to start living my life. Ever since then I have been trying to get in the best shape possible. As there were many ups and many downs in this journeys, where my peak weight was 94 kg's and the lowest I have ever been was 82. This journey was tiring and disappointing whereby there were periods where I would lose a lot of weight, gain it back, lose a lot of weight gain it back, and if  you are reading this post and have been through the same process, im pretty sure you would know what that feels like. I joined georgeous fitness in May 2011, and have been working out ever since, but have never been too serious about it, but 5 weeks back I told myself, its time to get serious about this, it is definitely not going to be an easy journey but I am going to do it, 2013 is my year, I am going to get in the best shape of my life. To achieve anything in this life is not an easy task, what more the never ending journey of weight loss. Today, 21st of May 2013, was one of my lowest points in my 15 week program of moving towards a healthier lifestyle which i named #getleanordietrying, yes my lowest point after 5 weeks, my weight peaked again at 89.5 kg's which is the same weight which i started 5 weeks ago.

So what is this blog about, where in the world am I going with this, what do I know about fitness you may ask, and to answer all of these questions genuinely I don't really know. But what I do know is that I want to share my experience through this journey, I want to inspire, I wanna see others happy, I want others to know that they are not alone in their journey towards getting in shape and remind everyone that each and everyone of you are built for greatness and made to be winners, and that it is alright to fail, to cry, to feel pain, but most of all I want every reader to know that you can pick yourself up and keep walking, because the very moment where you feel like the hard work you are putting in is not worth the effort anymore, your muscles are so sore that you cannot move or you are gasping for air on the verge of giving up and your entire body is about to fail you; there is a gift that has been placed inside of you that tells you that you can keep going. The heart, the strongest of all muscles.
