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 ……..

I love my friends do you ?

I love my friends do you ?

I tell my problems to my friends I think everyone does so , well I do so out of habit . We share right from ice cream to our problems with them . We share our moments of happiness to our moments of dismay . Whenever we share our problems with them we get to learn something new . We generally don’t expect a reasonable solution from them but we share our problems with them . We love them !

 

It was sometime back that I had a bad day at work when the project didn’t go as desired and I was not at my best . I went over to her place as usual weekend meet that we have and poured my heart out . Here is the story :
Hey Aria ! How are you ?

Good sweetie ! How are you ?

We hugged and kissed in air . In India it is common to hug your friends oh girls don’t hug guys and guys shouldn’t hug girls . You might find this gross but it’s the norm here. After chit – chat , gossip , news sharing , …… I told her about my bad day at work and the bitch at my work place who was making things difficult . We bitched about her beyond anyone’s imagination right from calling her the chairman’s mistress to a half wit moron ……. We questioned everything about her right from her dressing sense to her husband’s extra marital affair ……… her need of a live – in – maid ….. her sons resemblance to her neighbors  driver ….. we bitched so much that our throats went dry and we were quite hungry  …. We forgot to keep track of time and it was very late . We were done with the issue on hand and decided to move on ……  

 

We logged in to some online stores jabong , myntra , zivame , ……. Simultaneously . There were around 6 – 8 tabs that we kept peeping into looking out for something  desirable  and compared the prices , different available sizes , delivery time ,…… we compared whatever we could compare . It’s online stores and since browsing doesn’t cause any physical exhaustion we browsed and browsed and browsed and ……. We ordered for pizza …….. had a few slices with bear …….. watched some tv ….. and came in ‘burn notice’ and ‘mojito’ ……..thought of making mojito …….. we browsed for the recipe of mojito and voila ! it’s simple ....

You need five ingredients : white rum [we had Smirnoff white rum which would do], sugar cane juice [we didn’t have this ingredient and it is difficult to get one in the middle of the night at around 2 am, so we substituted it with sugar syrup which was a solution that we found after a little more browsing], lime  juice, water and mint leaves .

Now the preparation : Add lime juice to sugar syrup and mint leaves and then mashed it softly with muddler . We managed to just bruise the mint leaves and not mash it completely . Aria did insist that we should run it in the mixer after she had a few shots of neat rum but then ……. She settled on the kitchen table . Then I added 60 ml rum to the mixture and stirred it to mix the sugar syrup and let the mint leaves rise from the bottom . Topped the drink with ice cubes and water. Kicked Aria up and offered her mojito !!! It turned out well if that is what it tastes like ………

 

I learned how to make mojito !!!!!! Though the bitch is still there but I changed my job but still bitch about her from time to time when her co – workers and my friends who are still stuck up with her have something to bitch about . That’s what friends are for ?????????

heart shaped pea !!!!!
