@klairelena: I started going to the gym January 2022 and my only goal was to gain weight I didn’t really care how I got there. I would only focus on eating foods that were high in calories and protein. I got to 130 lbs by mid 2023 Did I gain muscle? Yes but also I felt sluggish, I looked puffy, and I lacked nutrients. A lot of the weight I gained was not muscle. I would rationalize my poor diet by only thinking about the protein I would get from it and constantly ate processed foods and tv dinners. Slowly, I cleaned up my diet starting small by eating at home more often, and I educated myself on nutrition and importance of macronutrients. Once I got down my macronutrients I started focusing on micronutrients. Now in 2026 I am way more in tune with my body and make better choices when eating and it doesn’t feel restrictive it feels AMAZING!! Change doesn’t happen over night it happens with consistent small decisions
