Why do people like exercise?

I have a very strange relationship with exercise. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it. Yesterday, when I went to the gym, I had to lift weights. The weights were heavy. It took a lot of pain and effort to lift them. I see men and some women lifting weights. The pain thatContinue reading “Why do people like exercise?”

Food Choices Don’t Change in a Single Day!

It has been a month since I embarked on this fatloss program. A month of intermittent fasting and a month of eating protein rich diet. However, even today, my heart pounds when I see some one eating an icecream or a hot chocolate fudge or plain simple chapati or rice. Though, I am well nourishedContinue reading “Food Choices Don’t Change in a Single Day!”

Do the foods you eat love you?

Human beings are strange creatures. At least that is what I have discovered in all my years of existence. We eat when we are happy, we eat when we are sad, we eat when we are upset or mad or celebrating or even when we want to express our love to some one. So, inContinue reading “Do the foods you eat love you?”

Who is hiding behind that fat and why?

The book titled A Course In Weight Loss by Marrianne Williamson has been a revelation. I did not know I was hiding behind this coat of fat.

Is the fat the problem or something else. Of late, I have been reading a lot on this subject. The book that really got me thinking was A Course in Weight Loss by Marrianne Williamson.

Watching People Who Can Eat Anything and Remain Thin

I have a lot of people around me who are quite thin. Their food servings are topped with butter, ghee and the works. They love eating tasty food, fast food, junk food and all the kinds of foods that I cannot eat. Yes, I can cheat once in a while but then I cannot haveContinue reading “Watching People Who Can Eat Anything and Remain Thin”

Reducing weight for yourself

People venture into weightloss due to a lot of reasons. Some do it to please their spouses, some for their children, others do it to look better etc. I have lost weight earlier too. However, at that time, my reasons were different. They were about looking good or pleasing my late husband etc. The factContinue reading “Reducing weight for yourself”

When your feel your body responding

The first few weeks of the fat loss program, especially for someone like me, were a torture. The exercises were killing and my body protested vehemently on every move that I made. My brother kept forcing me to do more…one more rep, one more pushup or pull up and I resented him for it. TheContinue reading “When your feel your body responding”
