Thinking about it now really makes me wonder how I did it, but those 3 months were the best ones of my life at a personal achievement level.
Before you get into any weird ideas about what i am talking about let me clarify the incident I am mentioning is the life changing weight reduction process that I went through.
Some may think wats the big deal, hundreds do it and that too at a much larger scale. But the reason it is so special for me is not only because of the weight loss but also because i triumphed in the challenge that i had set for myself. I know that i currently and have always fallen into that 80% population that is good for nothing in this world. And it was time that I atleast get into the better of that 80%.
It was not that i one fine day i woke up to look into the mirror and say “Hey that creature in the other side looks horrible with all that flab around him...let’s do something to change him.....!”
The way i was and the way i looked was something that was eating me up from a long time I might have never shown it but yes it had dented my confidence down to trench deep levels.
I used to always try to come up with new ways to try and not eat stuff that i thought was unhealthy but ended up using just a substitute to the same thing .I really had a lot of myths bout the way u reduce. I wanted to hit the gym and it was high time i did so But finance was a big issue in my life at that point in time.
I did have some real lame attempts at delivering a fat less body .That included climbing tekdi(A hill in Pune suburbs) twice or thrice with Anay. And then going for a walk few times to University when i was put up with Gunjan at Chattursinghi.
Once i was back to Mumbai the real fight started as i got real serious about it . Cos the string of incidents that preluded my coming to Mumbai had really made me hate myself for the way i was .I mean my over extra ounces of weight was not the only reason i did so,but yes that was the most obviously visible part of my apathy.
Once back i decided its time ..now or never kinda stuff started filling me up ...and then i started to give a real shot at my mission ...and that is to reduce some real good weight.....never in my life was i so excited to loose ......
Having said that even this attempt was nothing to go gaga about,but still, it was better than wat i did before .So this time i started going to a park near my house .Some few walking sprees round the park followed by some self learned yoga .
Now the hunger to fight hunger was getting more severe within me.
By this time I started working and with that the most important thing happened, Vitamin M started flowing in. Now the next most logical step to take my mission forward was to get to a good gym.
Lets not get in to the gym searching part.But i singled out Talwalkar's and with financial assistance from my BIL(yes i still needed it as i had just started off and they charge a bomb)....I was on.
So this was it .....a life changing moment .....the one i will cherish till eternity..... With a set of new shoes in my bag i set off to give my mission a real shot. The first things that they did was to make me stand on the most dreaded instrument for me in years ...the weighing machine . From the corner of my eye i saw the figure that was displayed on it, and my heart just broke ....It was 108 kgs....
Oh god wat was i gonna do with so much weight on me.that did give me a stroke of low confidence. But then i thought that to fight the enemy i have to see its ugly face,
Two people out at Talwalkars made all the difference and i will always remain indebted to them ......One was my trainer Ashok and the other was my dietican Mona,
They crafted out the perfect recipe that eventually toned me up into an irresistible delicacy (atleast for my sake).They were too good and the direction boards I was looking out for on my journey to self esteem.
The next three months were heavenly.I along with Ashok used to have almost suicidal workout sessions....as if i want to shrink myself to non existence.
And what a trainer ...Ashok was ,,,,,He was just so very unhappy about everything happening to him at the moment...his life marriage work all fucked up ...but in sessions he was nothing like wat his state mind suggested. I followed a strict diet and workout routine.With every losing ounce of weight i was gaining my self confidence and esteem . I was just loving wat i was doing ....Totally dedicated to some thing in life for the first time .... I used to loose almost 2-3 kgs per week and by end of three months had almost lost 15 kgs...
Those three months were godly .....and i cherish it ......even if all i gained during that duration was lose.
