Dominika and her real transformation to a better self!

Author Dominika Sílešová

Hi. My name is Dominika, I am 32 years old and I will tell you my story. I have never had a model figure and to be honest it didn't bother me. I did hear some nasty words in primary school, but I cried and moved on. I wasn't particularly upset about it. Time passed and my character gelled nicely. But as I write, I didn't care. When I was about 25, I started going to the gym, but it didn't stick with me for long.

The photos on the left at the beginning of my journey on 21.1.2021, where I was 81,7kg and the photos on the right from today, 7.1.2024, where I am 61,7kg

The turning point didn't come until early 2021, specifically 1/21/2021, when I embarked on a ketodiete under the auspices of Fredy Kriegel with my friend and great support, with the caveat that I didn't exercise during the ketodiete. Initial weight was 81.7 kg, which at my height of 162 cm is a massacre. But the results came anyway and by May 2021 I was 69.8 kg. I remind you that I still didn't exercise. I quit keto in May and went back to my old ways. There were no complications. Again, time passed and my boyfriend kept saying if I didn't go with him to exercise and that it would be fine. But being the lazy one, I never felt like it.

In 2022, specifically in November, we agreed to take another journey. I was no longer feeling absolutely comfortable in my body and wanted a change. The change is named Ales Lamka and I couldn't do anything better than to join his Like a Superhuman project. This time I had already switched to exercise. I stepped out of my comfort zone and I really have no regrets. I started at 72 kg and after a year I'm 62 kg with the understanding that I'm definitely not quitting. The important thing is to move, without that you can't. I have some movement every day and my priority is working out, which I have come to love. I have not had any complications either.

In the end I can say how important movement and diet are for our body. One learns discipline, which is priceless in life. My message to everyone is not to neglect ourselves physically or spiritually. After all, we want to function at our best and most importantly for as long as possible. I knowhow hard it can be to start doing something with yourself when you are overweight. I was scared that I wouldn't make it, that I wouldn't succeed. But in the end, I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. Losing weight has changed my life. I feel happier, healthier and more confident. I can do things I couldn't before, like running, swimming or dancing. I have more energy and feel better in my body. I know it's not easy, but I want to motivate you not to give up. If you want to change your life, take the first step. Find a professional to help you and start moving.

Believe me, it's worth it!
