Weight Loss Journey

   I was always on the heavy side of the scale . Junk foods and soft drinks used to be my daily companion . I will eat chocolates whenever i felt hungry and I used to drink more soda's then water .

I used to hate running and exercising as I would end up gasping for air the moment I start ! My eating habit was totally wrong . Rice was my primary food choice alongside oily Chapati's every lunch and dinner daily . The desserts of ice cream with chocolate sauce wasn't helping either . All this lead to me being obese and unhealthy .

My weight when I was 17 , shot up to 100kg and I was still least bothered to do something about it .  My eating habit were still the same . I then went to India to further my studies when I was 18 and there , my eating habit became from bad to worse . I used to eat lots of Rice and Naan's daily . By December 2011 , I was at 120kg . I used to have difficulty breathing after doing basic exercises and I could not sleep properly at night and it lead to a lot of side effects !

I realized that I have wasted half my teenage life with my weight issue . People used to taunt me with names and it wasn't helping either . It was high time I did something with my weight !

I read lots of articles online regarding weight loss . There were this fruits diet , the water diet and the Atkins Diet . I , being a vegetarian , had a limited amount of protein source for my daily intake . It was quite confusing at first , but somehow I tried .

 

 I bought a good pair of running shoes , gathered some willpower and started dieting on 1st January 2012 .

My diet included :
 No rice
 No sugar
 No chocolates
 No soft drinks
 No junk food
 No carbohydrates rich food

 5-6 glasses Green tea daily
 3-4 litres of water daily
 Incorporated fruits such as watermelons , apples and mangoes in my diet 
 Replaced normal bread with whole wheat bread
 Took fruit juices without sugar 
 Ate my green vegetables

I made it a habit to go to the gym 6 times a week , I spent 30 minutes doing cardio with aerobics and 1 hour doing weight and resistance exercises .
After a few weeks , I could already see drastic changes . I could sleep properly at night , my breathing improved , my waistline and weight went down and I felt healthier then ever .

Beginning weight , December 2011 :  120kg
                            January 2012     :  107kg
                            February 2012   :  100 kg
                            March 2012       :  88kg
                            April 2012         :  80 kg

My waistline went down from 50 inches to 36 inches . I could fit into clothes that I could never wear in the past , it felt really good .

It was not an easy journey , alot of temptations came into my way all along !
I still have a long way to go , for now Im concentrating on muscle building as after loosing alot of weight in a short time frame , my skin elasticity is yet to adapt back !

A little bit of hardwork and dedication surely helps :)
I guess thats all for now , Happy reading and God bless !!
