I’M Human – I’Mpossibile [Amr Sabry]
It’s been 3 months since I joined I’Mpossibile, and the least to stay that it’s a Life Changing Experience; It isn’t too often when you find a brand’s slogan owning up to every word, promise and even more; exceeding it.
This story, my story is an epitome of determination and a burning desire for achievement, all my life I have struggled with my weight, ever since I was a high schooler, you know the feeling of always being conscious of this extra kilo here and that extra chunk there; well I lived it all, I attempted all sorts of diets, spent hours in weight loss clinics and all in vain, regardless of how many kilos I managed to lose along the years, they always seem to find a way back into my body.
I am now 38 years old, and I can finally claim I won this battle, after countless regimes and a stapling operation I declare myself the WINNER in a battle of losing excuses, procrastination and lack of consistency. It isn’t about the weight, never was and never will be. It’s about who I am as human being, what I stand for and Values I wish to present in this life.
All my life I have been a fighter, a person who doesn’t give up, or play small, I quit corporate life and established my own business, I always managed to achieve any goal I set for myself, except for when it comes to eating healthy and leading a healthy lifestyle. I might have lost weight before but my perception and relationship with food never altered, and this is among the biggest benefits I gained from I’Mpossibile; I now see food as a mean to stay healthy and fit and that solely changed my life.
I lost a stunning 17.5 kilos in less than 3 months and am still going, my body fat percentage have dropped by 20% (Yes 20% PERCENT!) and my muscle mass increased by 5%; I always refrained from working out because I was simply convinced it will be absolutely in vain, because no matter how many calories I burn, they will all be subsisted with one meal. The determined, self-motivated person I am seemed to be stuck and out of willpower when it comes to bettering my lifestyle, We are humans and me as a human was in a bit of a contradiction, my values and core beliefs failed at the firewalls of my eating habits.
This Program provided me with knowledge I needed and more importantly, the support system and encouragement I longed for, I simply can’t disappoint them – my assigned coach and nutritionist –, after all the follow-ups, belief, and faith they have invested in me I can’t accept failure anymore. They have helped me connect to my human strength, a true feeling of being Possible, rather than giving in to my human weakness. We as humans have unlimited abilities, and it’s a matter of sheer choice to decide which side we focus on, the potential that lies within our soul or the narrow twisted hallways that are filled with excuses.
I am a better me, shinier and sharper than ever, the amount of pride I feel is indescribable, the thought of me losing sight of my new path is not an option, because simply my mindset and ideologies are changed forever, I have new targets way more important than a number on a scale, am setting targets for myself that used to seem unattainable, running a half marathon is few blocks away.
For all of you struggling humans out there, it is possible, you are possible, all you need to do is achieve what you are meant to be, fulfil your prophecy, conquer your fears, you are capable more than you can ever imagine, and to my old self, good bye, you won’t be missed.
I’M Human, I’Mpossible, I’M AMR SABRY
