I don’t know my exact weight but I must be something like 90 kgs. I am really close to hitting the century, smiley. I know this smiley is a fake. I also know that most of the women who are reading this blog right now know that this smiley is a fake. Though the date on the page says 16th January, it is 15th January. Mrityunjay and I had moved to Bangalore a year back. It has been exactly a year. In this one year, I made Agrima, smiley. That is the biggest achievement of my life and this time the smiley is NOT a fake. I am truly happy about the fact that I am a mother. I am truly happy that my daughter is so beautiful, touch wood.
But I am not happy about the fact that I weigh more than 90 kgs. There are lots of books in the market written by celebrity Yoga instructors and dieticians which tell women how to lose weight. Many of them are interesting and informative books; then what is the purpose of my blog? Why am I writing a blog on losing weight when I don’t know anything about losing weight? I am writing this blog because I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. I am about to embark a journey, just like many of the women who are reading this blog would do. I don’t know anything about weight loss but I know that I have lived in my body for last 30 years. I know that I know my body better than any other person knows. I know that if a doctor would insert a pin in my finger, I would be the only person on the planet earth who would be able to feel the pain. In other words, I have this strong faith that if there is any person who is able to help me get back in shape, it is me.
The idea of this blog is not new. I had first thought of writing the blog about 2 years back when I was in Pune. I had gained some 15 kgs weight post my marriage. Thanks to following factor-
• Laziness to cook at home→ eating outside→ weight gain
I had decided to write this blog after a rough encounter with the front desk receptionist of a major gym. I called her. She spoke to me so harshly that I hardly felt like going to that gym. I have also experienced that if you are not ready to pay handsomely or if you are not extraordinarily good looking, your gym experiences are going to leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. The instructor would NOT be interested in explaining you anything. His one eye would be on the hot chick on the treadmill. I want to take things in my hand. I want to write a blog which can tell people that if they are really interested, they can actually lose weight. But the most important thing is, at the end of the journey, you should be able to know more about your body than that stupid instructor was ever capable of knowing.
This time, I know I will write this blog. If anyone wants to find any formula to lose weight by reading this blog, I am not sure if you are reading the right blog; because as of now, I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. But I know that in next the course of next year, I will be able to get back in shape and regain my self confidence along with my self-image. I am going to learn and I am going to jot down my learning on the following pages. If I would be able to help anyone, it would be my pleasure.
What did I do today?
I just meditated for 10 minutes. I believe that everything starts in the mind of a person. So I visualized myself walking in our compound.
