Here's some background! 😄


I was never really too too serious in the gym. My brother started taking me. After I started lifting, I my appetite grew exponentially. I used to not eat at all, but then I started eating everything my mom gave me. She's Filipino, so she always liked making sure we were fed. I wish I had a picture from 2016, but basically my weight blew up. Fortunately, it wasn't horribly bad.

For a long time I was just sorta gymming, but I never really knew what I was doing.

Picture 8 was my first time at a gay bar! I started going out, and I kinda wanted to start getting really serious with fitness. I got a trainer and started counting calories. However, I kind of took it too far and lost a lot of both fat and muscle. I knew for sure I got weaker. Picture 9 & 10 were the result of my diet overhaul. I became one of those people with a scale everywhere and refused to eat unless I recorded it in my phone. Also I started recording all my workouts on my phone, which I now attribute to most of my gains. Recording helps me make sure I keep doing progressing overload.

By Picture 11, I stopped counting calories because it basically had became an addiction. Also, I got into my relationship, and he didn't care if I was skinny. I stopped focusing on my diet, except for protein. The holidays came around, and I ate as I pleased. Lots of sweets. Definitely a dirty bulk 😂😆😅

When Picture 12 came around, I was just losing weight slowly. I didn't want to start recording everything I ate again, but I was trying to be more mindful when eating. Also, I had a Dexa Scan for the first time in my life and it said I was about 21% body fat.

By the time Picture 13 came around, the holidays happened again, and I was like "screw it". I had never been 200 lbs, so I kinda wanted to try and just reach that number. Eventually, I got another Dexa Scan and it said I was 27% at the time of Picture 14.

Since then, I've just been about the same weight. I keep getting conflicted if I want to lose weight. I really do like being part of the "200+ club". At the same time, I get that it may not be the healthiest for my body though. Also, a different trainer told me I gained a lot of fat 🥹😅🫠🙃

The last picture was meant to be a silly one 😂😆 I put the camera at my partner's eye level, and he's about 5'10. I feel like it's hard to get perspective in pictures.



I'm trying to be more active online, so feel free to reach out to me! I've been more antisocial over the years, so I'm looking forward to making acquaintances and stuffffffff. Thank you for reading if you got this far!

2015 - 2024

Have to wonder how others have dealt with balancing alcohol intake and getting in shape. As somebody who wants to be more fit and fit-looking, but also doesn’t expect to look like a bodybuilder, I do not see the need to completely cut out alcohol or other indulgences like sweets. However I also don’t want to compromise my health either. I want to know how you have found a good balance and still been happy with how you look?
