So I got AI flagged by Twitter, LOL

I get it.

It’s hard to trust anything nowadays, especially in a time where AI seems to be everywhere.

But I can assure you that the photo I’ve used on my social media is not AI-generated.

Here’s the backstory:

It was during the COVID lockdown. Everyone was hoarding pizzas and comfort food, and I was no exception.

I ate a ton of pizza, pasta, and Uber Eats deliveries. Diet? I didn’t care much about it.

Why? Because I was laser-focused on improving my coding skills. I thought, “While everyone’s playing games, I’ll use this time to excel.”

So, my diet took a backseat… way back.

As a result?
I gained weight. About 20 lbs, to be exact.

At the time, I justified it to myself:
“I’m lifting weights anyway, so if I can hit 80 kg (from 77 kg), I’ll bench more.”

What a dumb thought, right?

Luckily, I couldn’t push past 77 kg, no matter how hard I tried. For context: I’m 5'6", so 77 kg (~170 lbs) is a lot of weight for my frame.

“Why didn’t you take more pictures?”

Fair question. My answer:

1. Who could have predicted that I’d be doing online coaching and social media one day? Not me.

2. Be honest – how many people who are overweight and not proud of their physique love taking photos?
   I hated it. Even now, I cringe taking pictures for social media – but I do it to help and inspire others.

That’s the short story of my overweight phase.

I learned a ton from shedding that weight.
I also made a lot of mistakes along the way.

And if you still don’t believe the photo is real – well, that’s your choice, and I respect that.

But I’m here to help. Whenever you’re ready.
