Over the last 6 years of my life I have piled on on an average 5 KGs a year. Today I am 40 kgs overweight. During these 6 years I have tried several weight loss programs, gyms, etc etc to get rid of those extra kilos successful at short intervals….. never a long term solution.
I have eaten ever 2 hours, survived on some really bad meals mostly liquids and then there was the eat salads and not grains diet too…. think about a type of diet and I assure you I have tried it….. Early 2011 got me a bad back condition. After much ignoring it developed into a slipped disk. Thanks to this, my movement is now restricted and all I can do to cure it non-surgically is to lose weight.
Having tried gazillion things not being much of a success to it it realized the most obvious thing…. I need to have a life style change. Staying in office for long hours, eating 3 meals daily from some restaurant or the other, not loving myself enough…. and a lot of other stupid stuff…… All of this had to stop…. and it was pretty much NOW or NEVER
So I gave it another shot and joined Anjali Mukherjee’s health total program. Here’s to the beginning of another and I hope very effective weight loss program

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
