Obesity nowadays, gets a lot of attention due to the many resultant ย , medical issues .Rarely do we think about the mental status and emotional upheaval an overweight person goes through in their struggle with ย yo- yoing weight.
Like many other ย super ย busy ย females , my diet and lifestyle was a total mess.I was actually one of those who are on the verge to topple over to the wrong side…I was Obese(that’s actually an impolite word for fat).
The self delusions
Iโm plump not fat ! But ย thatโs a version I ย had created to make myself ย temporarily ย happy ๐ .But the constant inner struggle with the weight issue was taking over my life.
2 years back I decided enough was enough! It was time to put my foot firmly down and “Battle the Bulge”
Slow And Steady..
So as a new perspective to the topic Iโd like to emphasize that โslow and steady does win the raceโ . No one changes drastically (except film stars, and ย they get paid for that) so just keep steady and continue your journey from being PLUMP to โoh wowโ.
Youโll find loads of sites telling you how to loose weight, easy way hard way. 5 minute workout,15 minute workout but please donโt fall for capsules, powders, fad diets. They are harmful and they almost never helps in loosing weight but are definitely good way to lose money.
I’m sorry to tell you this but thereโs only one way to succeed ย and it’s always the long way.What works for one may not for another.That is the crux of the problem, and also the solution.
Solutions
I needed ย diet and exercise personalised to suite my lifestyle, body type and emotional ย makeup.Anything drastic often worked only in the short time.
Well, I tried yoga, but sitting on mat and meditating was not my style .Though โsuryanamaskarโ 10-20 times/day helped my sister. It took her just 3 months for noticeable loss in inches.
Through my series of blog posts I will take you along with me on my “battle with the bulge”! Personally I took on walking but the progress was depressingly slow.I nearly gave up on it , when one fine day my friend commented that I was ย toning up! That ย made my day.
To cut it short, Iโm not here to tell you how to loose weight as you can find many healthy recipes, exercises, and yoga on the Internet. I’ll tell you how to cope with all this, when you are still plump.
I am going to be your girlfriend who will be your weight loss BFF. I will hold your hand when you lack motivation.High five you when you achieve your goals and be with you in your journey every step of the way.
