Struggling with weight loss !


Struggling for weight loss !
I have tried everything to lose those love handles , 8 extra kgs that I have put on but it’s the laziness that beats me up every time . Is it or is it something else ?

 
I have gained around 8 kgs in the last 1 year and it was not overnight . It was a slow process ….. every time I got on the weighing machine it told me I was putting on weight but it was just 0.5 kg or less ….. I told myself it’s less than 0.5 kg it won’t make much of a difference ! It was too slow you see ? It took around 365 days for me to gain  8 kgs so if I take an average it’s around 21.92 grams per day …….. it’s negligible ….. it was too slow ……. I never even imagined that all this 21.92 grams is going to add up and become fu##ing 8 kgs someday and I’ll have to struggle bloody tooth and nail …… I don’t get into most of my clothes …… my trousers have gone fitting noooo have become tight from loose …. I am wearing everything that  I can slip into ……. garments that help me camouflage my love handles  and that paunch that I have grown in the last few months that makes me look 8 months pregnant that will never have a delivery date .….. or maybe ????????
All the things I tried to lose this extra weight …..

·         Did aerobics for 30 mins everyday for more than a month ….. L

·         Walked on treadmill right from low speed to high speed ……. L

·         Tried low carb high protein diet ……… L

·         Went on 1 week crash dieting ……… L

·         Went on salad diet ….. L

·         Went on fruit diet …… L

·         Tried GM 8 too ….. L
·     Tried moving my head to left then right then left whenever anyone offered me something to  eat L



 

 
Then I realized !!!! I had gain this weight with all the extra morsels that I added everyday so I should cut down on that extra morsels . This was not easy though ….. Now every time I eat an extra morsel I tell myself :

·         I will not eat till I am hungry and eat as much required for my body and not my mind which is craving all the time for something .

·         I will share whatever I eat .

·         The prices are rising because of people like me .

·         If I cut down on every extra morsel I eat some child somewhere will not die of hunger because of me . 

I have gone on this new diet plan from past few days and it seems working ….. even if I lose 21.92 grams a day it is fine with me ….. now I feel guilty every time I overeat …..
It is when India got its independence and the economy was pretty bad ….. Gandhiji said , “if every Indian forsakes 1 meal a week there would be food on plate of every Indian .” Maybe if I forsake every extra morsel there would be food on the plate of every hungry child ……..
