But also no. Because at the level of thinness you couldn\u2019t eat anything. Also\u2026 and I have no proof of this, but I think that you\u2019ll probably won\u2019t feel too good. There was a point where I was pretty thin. I was living abroad in Northern Africa doing some language study. I was over there for about a year and along with every good thing about that experience was a ever-present upset tummy. Granted I can have eating-disorder tendencies. But recently it\u2019s been about over-indulging. Back then, it was about restriction. I was extremely strict about over eating, so much so that I would stop eating a piece of cake halfway if I felt like my stomache was \u2018full\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My diet over there was pretty healthy, on my own I tend not to eat too much meat. And the fruits and vegetables in North Africa were divine<\/em>. So much better than here in the west. It\u2019s probably because they were grown and sold in the same country. But I cannot tell you how many watermelons and peaches I ate that summer. It was awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But that whole time I had a mild case of loose stool, which probably helped with the thinness. It got pretty bad near the end, where I had to go to the local \u2018ducan\u2019 to buy bottled water. I even had to drink the Pepto Bismol I brought with me. It was bad, but I was thin. So thin that my tummy went into my jeans and did not bulge out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But now? Five years later? I am not thin. But I\u2019ve never been thin living in the west. And recently I\u2019ve become more and more interested in becoming strong. Think like Ilona Mahr, do you remember her? She played rugby in the most recent Olympics in Paris. She\u2019s strong. That\u2019s the type of strong I want. And you know how you get strong like that? Strong with those beautiful muscles that build your physique out and allow you to do some pretty cool shit? Strength Training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You know where you can do strength training? If you\u2019re on the west coast in Canada and in BC, and are close to Victoria, I would recommend this place<\/a>. They even have in home personal training<\/a> or you could just go to their gym. I\u2019ve recently started talking with Sarah Jane. Unfortunately I\u2019m nowhere close to Victoria, but I\u2019m thinking about working with her to cultivate a better program that what I was doing on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
