My inspiring story of

FAT TO FIT:

was always a happy go lucky chubby toddler, cute
teenager & then a cuter wife & a mom. When I married
I weighed 58 kilos, then due to hormonal imbalance my
weight shot up to 90 kilos in a span of 15 years. I was so
I fed up as I was extremely active but my knees, back &
ankles kept getting injured one after the other. My friends &
family were really supportive & they never let me felt I was
over-weight, I’m grateful to god for that. I kept trying many
diets, would lose 20 pounds but gain back 10 pounds back
& forth.
One fine day had a terrible slip outside one of my stores and
had a bad tail bone fracture which had already happened
couple of years back while having a normal delivery with my
child, so it was doubly injured. It was so painful as knees &
ankles were also in a bad shape due to a lot of Zumba, dance
& running on the treadmill desperately trying to lose weight.
Finally, I decided to lose extra 30 kilos in one go at any cost.
I stopped going out, eating out, drinking, no more kitties till
I touch my target. I even left a few kitties which offended
people but I was fine with that as I knew all will understand
me soon.
I went on a complete high protein low carb diet 4 times a
week for year and a half to two years. And then never ever
looked back, lost 25 kilos & now 5 kilos more to go. I’m
struggling to be in shape but not losing hope. I corrected
my lifestyle, ate small portions every 2 hours. I religiously
carry my cute little multicolored tiffin basket in my car every
day with small portions of various healthy but yummy foods
like chaat masala sprouts, skimmed milk paneer tikis, bajri
roti stuffed with dudhi, protein shakes, salted lassi, coconut
water, protein bars etc. Being a veggie I do not have much
choice but I manage pretty well. I now feel really good about
myself and I get compliments wherever I go.
