My story started about nine years ago, in fourth grade, with the first signs of anorexia nervosa. I was already a thin kid, but bullying and insecurity sent me the other way — cutting meals, eating once or twice a day, running daily. I was already in track and field, which kept it hidden for longer than it should have been. By the end of elementary school I had dropped to around 36kg at 1.52m — what the WHO classifies as severe thinness. My relationship with food stayed stuck there for years.
The turning point came the summer after middle school. I looked around and realised everyone had grown — except me. I knew that if I kept going, it wouldn't end well. So I started eating properly again, and picked up the pull-up bar with real intent for the first time. That summer I gained 10kg and grew taller. By the third year of high school I was the most fit kid in my school — only the bar, my mum's home cooking, and workouts in parks with friends.
Today I'm 21, 90kg at 1.80m, five years into consistent training. Push / Pull / Legs, cardio and calisthenics — quality over volume, recovery first, no shortcuts. While studying Computer Science, I keep testing what works in training, nutrition and code, and turn what I learn into the content, the eBook and the tools I share.
My Transformation
A year out of the worst of it. Eating again, training on the pull-up bar in parks and on courts, my mum's home cooking doing the rest. The first time my body was growing with me, not against me.
Today, 90kg at 1.80m. Push / Pull / Legs, cardio and calisthenics — quality over volume. The kid who was scared to eat feels far away now, but I remember him every day.
