Body shaming, irrelevant jokes, “moto”, “bhans”, “kam khaya kro”, and what not. I have heard all of this in my life but there weren’t many people who could understand what is the issue with me, it wasn’t merely overeating or junk food, is it something else!! I was a slim especially when my mother died, I shed almost 15kgs of weight from 80 to 65kgs. After that in 2012 when my backpain problem started the doctor gave me steroids with asking or telling me and I simply stared to eat like a monster and after 2 months I came to know what was the reason behind my monstrous appetite!!
even at that time, people were saying “hain, etni moti q ho gai ho?” I regained around 20 kgs and that wasn’t the end of it even after 1 year I didn’t change my eating habits and the extra fat was very generous to me!! I became immune to all the taunts and started feeling comfortable in my skin, I stopped hiding behind others while taking pictures and simply made my peace with the way I was, but obesity is not at all good for anyone and when I realised that (after too long) I decide to change this for me, not for others! at that time I came to know that I have another friend with me which is Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which is making its contribution to my working health phenomenally!
When I got last week’s assignment I decided to work on this personal goal of mine and that is why I'm writing this blog, I have started the walk, focusing on healthy options, and trying to avoid junk food. My first task was to start the walk which I did but being a foodie it is not easy for me to avoid the junk food! Hopefully, I would be able to lose at least 5 kgs till March 2021.
