We want to have it all. We want all the chips, pastries, cakes and yet not put on weight. The companies use this to create all kinds of diet foods, diet chips, fat free icecreams and charge a bomb for these. We love the idea because it takes away the guilt of indulging in theseContinue reading “Diet Chips, Diet Food- All Hogwash!”

My Brother, My Trainer
My brother is the kind of trainer who gets after your life for everything. He not only focusses on your body but also eating habits, sleeping habits and even thinking patterns. Since he is also a psychologist, he talks to me about the emotional reasons that made me gain weight in the first place.
When you are fat,you don’t love yourself!
Have you ever wondered why most fat people are the funniest, kindest and the most helpful people around? They love cracking jokes (sometimes at their own expense), they love to help people and they are always there for others. Not to take anything away from them but the truth is most fat people yearned toContinue reading “When you are fat,you don’t love yourself!”
Why do we eat extra in stress?
Emotional eating has been a norm with me. I used to seek comfort in food. Binging on rich, calorie laden food, chips, namkeen, fried stuff has been a part of my life, especially when I was upset or worried or stressed. Stress is such a paradoxical thing.

The ups and downs of weight
I have not been exercising for the last five days because of obvious womanly reasons. I have stuck to my diet though. Yet, the weighing machine keeps teasing me.

Resistance to fatloss
When I first started on this journey, I didn’t like the idea at all! Why diet? Why weights? Why not plain cardio? Weights could injure me, the diet was bland. The smoothies that I had to drink were also not acceptable. You know the paradox? I had come here to lose weight. My mind wasContinue reading “Resistance to fatloss”

Intermittent Fasting
I have been on intermittent fasting since 23 November 2020. Earlier, I used to feel hungry amd wonder what I have gotten myself into. This was especially because I wasn’t allowed to eat anything except the prescribed diet. Generally people think of fasting as a precursor to feasting. But intermittent fasting is not that. YouContinue reading “Intermittent Fasting”
Sitting Jobs, Dedicated Employees, Cups of Tea and Weight Gain
In India, there is a tradition of drinking tea in the office. Mostly teas are heavily sweetened, endlessly brewed concoctions that are served to the employees atleast thrice a day. The sugar provides the much needed energy while the tea is the perfect cure for the fatigue or tiredness. Tea has been an important partContinue reading “Sitting Jobs, Dedicated Employees, Cups of Tea and Weight Gain”
Relearning chewing
If there is one thing I have learnt in these last few days is that chewing plays a great role in controling obesity. I have always been a fast eater. For most of the years, I have been proud of this habit of mine. My time management was impeccable because I never ‘wasted’ a lotContinue reading “Relearning chewing”
