You've probably hit your Ceiling. Not the one you're afraid of. But the one your Genes decided for you long ago.
If you've been stuck at 100, 120, 130 kg's for a while now despite the diets,
the walks, the promises you made to yourself there's a chance this is simply
where your body was always meant to settle.
Uncomfortable truth? Maybe. But hear me out...
There's this fascinating study on twins. Separated at birth, raised in
completely different homes, different cities, different food cultures. Years
later when they meet, their weights are Almost identical. The environment tried but the genes Won.
I see this guilt in so many of you the self-blame, The "I'm not
disciplined enough" narrative playing on loop. But what if it's not about discipline at all? What if your body has a genetic
set point, much like your height? Some people are 5'4". Some are 6'2". We don't shame the shorter
person for not "trying hard enough" to grow taller, do we?
Yet we do it with weight. Every single day. Here's where it gets interesting though.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson weighs 126 kgs. His BMI screams obese at
32. But look at the man. Does he look unhealthy to you? Of course not.
Because weight is just a number, body composition is Everything. You can be a strong, energetic, metabolically healthy 100 kgs. Or you can be a
tired, weak, disease-prone 100 kgs carrying too much fat and too little muscle. Same weight. Completely different lives. So maybe the goal isn't to fight your genetic weight anymore.
Maybe it's time to ask a better question - "How do I become the fittest,
strongest version of myself at the weight my body has chosen?"
That's where real transformation lives.
P.S. Have you ever stopped to ask, Am I building strength at my weight, or just
chasing the scale?
