Nu am o poveste de “inainte si dupa”.
Nu am o poza cu 20 de kilograme mai plina si una de acum, de “silueta in standarde.” Cea mai mare greutate am atins-o in liceu, cu 63 kilograme la 1.62 cm inaltime. Am slabit in facultate la 48-49 kilograme (fara diete, doar pe fond de stres) si de atunci nu am mai pus pe mine. Asa ca imi pare rau ca nu va pot arata niste poze grozave in care sa vedeti progresul meu in dimensiuni si regresul meu in kilograme. Stiu ca sunt la mare pret anii astia.
Dar vreau sa va spun ceva: neluand in calcul diverse probleme de sanatate, deci vorbind de o stare de sanatate “normala”, greutatea mea s-a mentinut asa pentru ca am avut eu grija. Da, am avut excese culinare in weekenduri, in deplasari, nopti de distractie cu alcool, zile la rand cu dulciuri, insa tot timpul am avut grija sa echilibrez, sa compensez. Nu va imaginati ca nu mi-ar fi placut si mie, acum niste ani (cand nu constientizam atat), sa stau si sa mananc zece croissante deodata si sa nu ma ingras. Dar nu e asa, nu toti suntem inzestrati de la natura cu un metabolism perfect. Care, oricum, nu exista. Si nu va imaginati de cate ori am auzit “tu ai niste arderi super bune, ca nu pui pe tine”. O fi fost asa, nu o fi fost, dar ce stiu eu e ca, pana spre 30 de ani, nu mancam mai tarziu de 17-18.00, ca aveam grija la cantar periodic si ca nu imi permiteam luxul de a manca oricand si orice doream fara sa si “platesc” pentru asta.
Intre timp, a devenit altceva. Nu mai de ceva vreme doar despre kilograme sau aspect fizic. Este despre sanatate. Este despre a inghiti un pumn de medicamente pentru a trata diverse manifestari, fara a gasi cauza. Este despre a cauta solutii, fara sa mai stii, exact, incotro sa te indrepti. Despre viata mea acum si in urmatorii 10, 20, 30 de ani. Si, daca pot face un impact asupra vietii altora prin ceea ce eu promovez si ceea ce eu cred, atunci este si despre viata lor.
Este despre sanatate. Nu este despre diete, este despre a te bucura de toate, cu masura. Nu este despre restrictii, este despre alegeri mai bune. Nu este despre momentul acesta, este despre ce urmeaza. TonusApp nu este doar o aplicatie de fitness si nutritie, este un inceput. Unul care te poate face sa intelegi ca iti poti permite un program cu antrenament si dieta, dar nu iti poti permite sa fii bolnav. Acordam prea putina importanta miscarii, alimentatiei si, mai ales, vitaminelor si mineralelor pe care, oricum, nu mai ajungem sa le aducem in organism asa cum ar trebui, acordam prea putina importanta stresului si il lasam sa ne macine spiritul si apoi corpul, acordam prea putina importanta clipei de “acum” fara sa ne gandim ca, poate, mai e si “maine” si cum vrem sa ni-l facem?
Cam despre asta este vorba. La mine.
I don’t have a story of “before and after”. I don’t t have a picture of me having 20 kilos more and one of the present, of the perfect “90-60-90.” The biggest weight I reached was in high school, with 63 kilos at 1,62 cm high. I lost some kilos in university, reaching around 48-49 kilos (without diet, just on stress factor) and, since then, I haven’t put on me any more. So I’m sorry I can’t show you some great pictures in which to see my progress in size and my drop in kilograms. I know these are very precious these years.
But I want to say something to you: leaving out
various health problems in mind, so speaking of a “normal” health condition, my
weight has maintained so because I have taken care of it. Yes, I had
over-culinary excesses in weekends, on trips, on nights of fun with alcohol,
but all the time I took care to balance, to compensate. Don’t imagine that I
wouldn’t have liked to sit down to ten croissants at once and not gain weight.
But it is not so, not all of us are endowed with a perfect metabolism. And
don’t imagine how many times I heard “you burn fats so fast, you can eat
whatever and don’t put weight”. It is not the first time I have been in the
country for a long time, but I have not been in the country for quite a while.
It may have been so, it may not have been, but
what I know is that, by 30 years, I did not eat later than 17-18.00, that I paid
attention at the scale and that I did not allow the luxury of eating at any
time and anything I wanted.
Meanwhile, it has become something else. Not for a
while just about kilos. It’s about health. It is about freezing a handful of
drugs to treat various manifestations, without reaching the cause, about trying
to solve health problems without having solutions or answers (no, it’s not me, personally).
It’s about my life now and in the next 10, 20, 30 years. And, if I can make an
impact on the lives of others by what I promote and I believe in, then it is
also about their life.
It’s not about diet, it’s about enjoying everything, with measure. It is not about restrictions, it is about better choices. It is not about this moment, it is about what comes next. TonusApp is not just a fitness and nutrition app, it is a beginning. One that can make you understand that you can afford a training and a diet program, but you cannot afford to be sick. We attach too little importance to food and, in particular, to vitamins and minerals which, most of the times, we do not get into the body as we should, we attach too little importance to stress and let it grind our spirit and then our body, we attach too little importance to the moment of “now” without thinking that maybe it is “tomorrow” and how do we want to do it? This is what about, in my case.
