Who wants to loose weight?

Me!!!

Who wants to do something about it?

Ahem (Side glances)

I am sure a lot of us can relate with this scenario. We always have a few more inches to loose and few kilos to shed, right? Well, I have a lot of inches and kilos to let go. How I wish there was something called fat or weight donation? I would have happily donated it over the counter. But sadly, losing weight is not easy. And especially when you have a lot of it, being your constant companion for a realllllyyyyyyyy long time.

I had promised myself when my son was born that I will lose it all in no time. But even after 6 years of his birth, I am still of the same girth :( New years came and New years got old. But the only constant was my resolution every year- LOSE THE WEIGHT! It’s not that I didn’t do anything. I tried aerobics, Gym, Zumba, Yoga, Morning walk, GM diet, 5:2 diet. You name it and I have probably read about it or have tried it to some extent. And that is where my problem lies. I am not consistent. I get bored easily. Be it diet or zumba or even morning walk with friends. One fine day I will be bored or tired or lazy and decide not to go ahead with it. And swoosh down the drain, all the efforts done in the past by me will go. And I will go back being the old me, Happy with the break, planning to restart my effort. But it never happened. It was always a new thing, with a lot of boom and vigour; and always the same fate.

Every Year I decided that come this EOSS and I will buy nice clothes which fit me and not in which I have to fit myself. But whom I was kidding? The inches sat there, making me a bigger person. Kilos hugged me tight, not willing to say bye bye as of now.

And then I came across this picture on FB.

Something struck me. If I need a change, I need to work for it. If I have to stay alive, I need to breathe. No one else can do it for me. If I want to fit in that dress, my body has to change and not the size tag on the dress. And I need to move, I need to put myself in those walking shoes every day. 

Am I depressed and suffer from body image issues? I don’t think so. I just want to wear what I see hanging on the mannequin. And I do not want to enquire about a bigger size. I don’t want to keep my fingers crossed while opening the size guide on Myntra or Amazon, hoping that they will have ‘my’ size for this top or dress.

So, I have decided to take charge of my weight and loose it all. And I am sure I am going to succeed in it. Yes, it will take time, just the way it took time, to pile all this up. And I am ready. What do I have to lose- few kilos and hours of my life? I have way too much of it already there.

I am wishing myself ALL THE BEST. And I know I am going to come out stronger and healthier from this!!

HAPPY LOSING!!!
