Gaining Control: My Gamified Weight Loss Journey
Why traditional Weight Loss didn’t work for me
Before I discovered a sustainable, realistic, and even fun way to reach the body, health, and state of mind I dreamed of, I felt like I had tried everything.
Being overweight is hard, and overcoming obesity can feel even harder. The jungle of fad diets, “quick-fix” weight loss plans, and overly specific eating guides (like eat Greek yogurt with exactly X blueberries) was overwhelming, frustrating, and, honestly, boring.
My struggles with Addiction and Obesity
I didn’t just struggle with food. I come from a background with a long history of addictions: fast food, sugar, cigarettes, gaming, and even substance abuse. Combined with emotional eating and lack of control, these habits pushed me to my peak weight of 189kg (416 lbs).
This taught me an important truth: being overweight is not just about eating too much or moving too little. It’s often the result of emotional struggles, unhealthy habits, and addictive behaviors.
Why I created Gaining Control
That’s why I built Gaining Control, a gamified, step-by-step weight loss and wellness experience where you are the main character.
Every week, you unlock new levels with fresh challenges.
You’ll develop practical tools and sustainable habits.
You’ll build discipline for both body and mind.
And most importantly, you’ll move toward lasting well-being in body, mind, and soul.
Free-to-Play, Real-Life Results
Gaining Control is completely free-to-play. All the knowledge, tools, and advice you need for this journey will always remain free and accessible.
This isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about creating a realistic path to wellness that works in real life, not just on paper.
You Can Do This Too
If I can succeed on this journey, starting at 189kg with sugar addiction and failed diets behind me, then so can you.
Gaining Control is more than a weight loss story, it’s a guide to taking back your health, one level at a time.
I believe in you.
