Fat To Fabulous

 How many times have you decided that you wanted to lose weight?  Of those times, how many times did you say to yourself  I am serious this time around? 

And of all those times, how many times have you made it two days in eating clean and then rewarded yourself with a slice of pizza and suddenly found yourself waiting until the following Monday to try again? ‍‍

I think we can all relate to this feeling🤷 

Let's go back where it all started :🏃

There was a point in my life where I knew that I needed to do something for my health, but I was not serious enough. This thought of doing something came when my foots used to get swelled that my footwear's started getting tight.My dad consulted the doctor .Doctor asked to take reports of whole body, after getting report doctor told i might be diagnosed to diabetes,cholesterol,urea if not did anything regarding my weight. on that time my weight was also not less its 99.80  kilos. I decided to do something about my weight, even though I wasn’t a huge fan of exercising (or even walking) and was a big foodie.

" Hard Work, Always Payoff "

May be you heard above mentioned quote but this one is also correlate to me not professionally  but personally.I did the impossible and lost a whopping 25 kgs in span of 1 year ,it all was started in Jul"20.

How do I stay motivated? 

Whenever I want an instant boost of motivation, I look at my old photographs and realize how far I have come. Once you begin to see the difference in your body and when people begin to compliment you on your transformation there is no going back!I see that so many people do not have enough time to get up and workout but they still manage the same. I also read motivational quotes to continue my fitness journey.

Pillars of my support😍

My parents and soulmate are the pillars of my support .Whenever i go with family, they support my choices of eating. Never ever force me while saying that one bite will not effect as all others did.

Most difficult part of being overweight: 

I hated shopping for XXL or waist size of 40/38 . It was heartbreaking when the salesperson would tell me ‘apka size nahi hai mam’.

Fitness secrets I unveiled: 

Eat your dinner before 7 pm so your body has enough time to digest the food before you hit the sheets. I have also realized that green tea works wonders in keeping the metabolism running. I make sure to drink plenty of water to keep myself hydrated.

How do you ensure you don’t lose focus?

 I think will power is important if you need to achieve anything.If you are passionate about something you will definitely achieve it. You should lose weight for yourself  not to impress anyone or by succumbing to peer pressure.

What shape I see myself 10 years down the line?

Now that I have lost a considerable amount of weight I want to focus on maintaining my current weight and wants to shed more 8 kgs.

 

What are the lifestyle changes i made?

 

In addition to eating healthy,it is also important to eat in the right amount.It is important to understand that losing weight is all about replacing your unhealthy cravings with the right food.I made fitness a part of my daily routine and also started drinking 3 litres of water every day.Being consistent and regular with your diet and workout really help. Also, allow yourself to have cheat days once in a while. For me, my cheat days were once every 2 weeks, which kept me looking forward and motivated.

 

Lowest point for me......

I felt really low and lost when I wasn't  able to run even half a kilometre without panting for air(now i can do jogging continuously for half an hour). Moreover, I wasn’t able to fit into the clothes of my choice. At that point I felt really heartbroken.

Lessons learnt from weight loss: 

If you are trying to lose weight you need to understand that it is a journey😍 not a destination. This simply means that you have to put constant and conscious efforts in order to stay healthy and fit all your life. You must go for a workout routine and diet plan as per your lifestyle. Also you must never go for short term plans😒as you may end up gaining all the weight back.You might have a lot of stretch marks or even loose skin at times, but you should be proud of it. You are a tiger who just earned his stripes, so you might as well flaunt it.
