My Turning Point

I was 137 kg. I did not feel like myself.

Everything was harder than it should have been. Sitting. Standing. Eating. Walking. Always sweating. Always in discomfort. I felt trapped in a body that did not match who I wanted to be.

When I was 21, I visited my family in the Philippines. They saw me as this overweight guy who looked out of place. It was painful to feel judged. I could not enjoy anything. My feet hurt. My back hurt. I was always tired.

Later I learned they were bleeding from the pressure of my weight.

I kept going for another 10 or 15 minutes. The pain got worse. I made an excuse and asked everyone to turn back. I ruined the moment. That walk was supposed to be a memory. Instead, it was a wake up call.

I was embarrassed. Angry. Done feeling helpless.

That is when my mindset shifted. I promised myself I would change.

The Process

It took time. No quick fixes. No 6-week transformations that disappear. I learned how to train the right way. I learned how to eat without stress. I learned consistency over perfection - small sustainable changes that became my lifestyle.

Stretch marks showed up during that process. They were bright red at first and looked awful. I felt more self conscious than ever. Then they faded. They stayed. Now they remind me of how far I have come.

I lost the weight. I built strength. I rebuilt confidence.

Now I help others do the exact same. You do not have to do any of this alone.

The care and attention I give keeps people coming back. That is the standard I hold myself to.
