There is no reward without hard work, it took me a while to understand that, 28 years to be precise.

I was once a fat slob of a man, a couch potato, a videogame nerd in the worst aspects of it. I was quite successful intellectually and financially but a complete disaster physically speaking.

I peaked at 135kg, or about 300lbs for you Americans, on July 1st 2017. Living overseas meant that I had to do a physical exam every year in order to renew my visa.

I have a strong heart tho, it's a family trait, even at that weight my heart had a beating just slightly above average (46-57bpm) at 61bpm. I'm also an endomorph, which means that I can build both weight and muscles easily, therefore I had a lot of muscular mass hiding under the layers of fat.

I'm actually quite a strength of nature still today, and I have always been, I can pull and carry weights that most bodybuilders would struggle with, here again a family trait, my dad and my uncles, my grandpa, they are all guys who'd one punch man just about anyone.

Anyway, back when I took that medical exam I freaked out at the sight of my weight and said fuck it I need to burn that fat. Went to a gym next to my home on that very afternoon and subscribed to a yearly membership.

At the beginning it was hard, even with the air-conditioning blasting and going there in the morning when it's still cool outside, I'd sweat galons of water during each gym session, I was literally soaked in sweat from head to toes.

My towel would look like it was just plunged into water by the end of each session, but it was all sweat. And boy would I stink, even with antiperspirant and deodorant, there was just too much sweat for bacteria to breed in.

Of course I had a second towel and would make sure to wipe clean each machine after using it.

It was hard, it was hot, but I transformed my body over these two years, I went from fat slob to fitness god level, 46% body fat to 15%.

Of course here comes the MGTOW aspect of this story, how whymin's behavior towards me completely changed. The same whymin went from ignoring me to complimenting me and acting interested in my presence, even making advances out of nowhere.

But I'm not falling for it, if you didn't want me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best. I rather fuck my sexdoll and hang out with my bros.
