Growing up, I was always referred to as the Chubby One. "Moti", "Fatso" were some of the pet names I had as a kid. Sometimes I would cry, sometimes I would laugh along. But for a girl with serious self esteem issues, all of that never really helped. Until I grew up, that's when I realized that what others thought of me didn't really matter, what mattered was what I thought of myself.
And I was pretty damn happy with my chubbs (aka my baby fat).
But there is a line between cute chubby and just plain over weight. And I was just plain over-weight!
Now, I love food! I think about what I'm going to eat all the time - deciding what to eat everyday is like a whole day decision. The countless options, the cravings *sigh*....
So how does a foodie, get herself to lose some weight!
Well, it was 19th March 2015 and I was pretty damn low! So, while driving home from work, I decided I needed to stop being so low and focus on something positive.
U-Turn and I find myself at Diet & Nutrition Centre!
I think the scariest part was standing on that weighing scale and finding out that you are pretty close to being obese! But the Dietitian was very supportive and spoke to me about what is good for me etc.!
Was it hard? Eating healthy? Hell Ya!
But I eventually got use to it and it helped so much... I went from 80.1kgs to 69.9kgs in 5 months!
Losing weight felt good... clothes fit better... like I actually fit into dresses at Forever 21 - who we know makes clothes for tiny people! I could wear heels for longer periods!
And overall, I just felt plain good and healthy!
But maintaining weight is a hard task - trust me on this! And yeah, long story short - I gained a lot of the weight I lost back!
Why? Cause I was just plain lazy. Worst thing of all - I let my emotions control me and I ate to feel better! Emotional eating is the worst - AVOID it completely!
So what am I going to do now? I am going to lose that weight - I am going to get healthy - And I am going to do this for myself and not for anyone else!
To help me lose it - I even got a personal trainer! I am first week into my training and as tiring as it is - I already feel energetic and focused.
I've learnt that if you focus and eat right - it will be possible!
So that's what I am going to do - FOCUS, WORK HARD, EAT HEALTHY and BE POSITIVE!
So Folks - I will keep ya'll updated on my progress - And Inshallah it will be awesome!
