Berita Tempatan “Saya Pernah Pakai Size XL”- Rashidi Ishak Dedah Pengalaman Menurunkan Berat Badan Syafiqah Jalal 22/07/2019 | 20:21 MYT Confession friday. This picture was in late 2016. Yes I was a full on obese before. I wore size XL. My waist was more than 36 inches (more likely 38) but I wore pants size 34 because I refused to believe I was wide. My weight? 88kg. You know when you were in a state of ‘comfortable’, you hardly notice that you were actually in a terrible state? I was ‘hiding’ behind nicely fitted clothes. I know I was heavy. I know I felt heavy. But at that point, I didn’t really take care of myself. Because you know, I wasn’t in a bad health. I was healthy (at least I believed so), I mean I could still go to the gym and workout. The only thing is, I knew I was huge. Deep down, I wasn’t happy with myself. But of course, I wouldn’t show to the world I was not happy right? It’s what they say as ‘in denial’. . My ex-wife was really fit. She was always in the gym. Always attending yoga classes and those boot camps. And when I joined her for running, I couldn’t keep up with her and her running buddies. But honestly, she had made me inspired to be a better fitter person. Had she not encouraged me to join her running activities, I would have not known the enjoyment of running or being able to run. I only began to start to run in the late 2016 and seriously in early 2017. Yes before that I had participated in those fun run (5km). Eventhough I was big, I could still run that 5km. I wasn’t fast but I finished it. More like walking to the finishing line. Yep, run & walk. Actually I had always wanted to run a marathon. I always wonder how do people run that distance. Like I could barely finish 5km, how do they run a 21km or that crazy 42km? But I wanted it. I wanted it badly. So I started to read about marathons, marathoners and the training. . And my journey as a runner, as a marathoner started about 2 years ago. Started all by myself. Then I got to know a few running friends. I was lucky to have met a running coach. Learned a lot. Experienced a lot. Trained a lot. Still learning to be a better runner. I’m happy the way I have progressed. And in that process, I have managed to bring down my body weight. Kinda natural thing to happen. And now, I’m preparing to run my 4th full marathon. ??
