Body shaming is a serious issue. It took me a lot of courage to post my transformation picture online and I hope you all have a good time reading my wonderful experience. I was never an obese girl but losing weight was a dream. I lost 9 kgs two years back and as soon as I left working out, I gained all of it again. Trust me, when you lose weight and go back to square one, that’s one of the most toughest phase of your life as you’re definitely going to have a tough time losing it again. And I’ve been through all this with a lot of strength.
Dealing with weight issues isn’t as easy as it looks. When people tell me that they lose weight even after sitting at home, I pity myself as I’m not as lucky as them. The past 5 months have been a game changer, I swear. Nothing can make me as happy as I am today, not that I didn’t love myself before but being fit was one dream which I thought would never come to life.

You definitely need a lot of strength to read this. I’m definitely one of those girls who loves her golgappas and pizzas. And not being able to eat these for the past 5 months has been quite a difficult task because I have been following Rutuja Diwekar's Book and it lets me have only home cooked meals. From 69.5 kgs to 54 kgs, I’ve made myself stronger and better. My trainer at the gym used to force me to eat eggs but I never understood the importance of proteins in life. I did lose a lot of weight because of Rujuta's book but i wanted to concentrate on strength training too. Hence, I made up my mind that I will eat 4 egg whites a day along with homecooked meals and notice the changes in my body. People who say that girls shouldn’t lift heavy weights are lying or probably have no idea about the weight loss regime. Even I had the same kind of thoughts, until I started reading and watching videos on YouTube related to weight loss. After eating eggs, your muscle strength starts increasing and you can lift heavier. Lifting heavier weight means you can eventually lose more fat. I’m not the best person to tell you about weight loss but I’m trying to take you through my experience. Another mistake which I made is that I used to have my dinner late in the evening around 9 pm or 9.30 pm which is one of the biggest mistake anyone can make. Now I eat my dinner before 6 pm. I used to eat a lot of biscuits long before and now I don’t eat any. Eating healthier and better makes you feel confident everyday because your body is responding to everything and making you feel better day by day. People do laugh at me when they come to know that i follow such a strict routine but no gain without pain.
There are days when I don’t feel like going to the gym and don’t feel like eating healthy but then I look at the change in my body and that keeps me motivated. Getting up at 5.30 in the morning everyday just to go to the gym isn’t as easy as it looks. I haven’t consumed sugar for the past 5 months and I feel extremely bad about it because I love my cakes and ice creams but on the other hand I want to keep myself fit. I’m super proud of myself that I’ve achieved something I couldn’t even imagine that I could. I’m extremely grateful to people who called me fat and that has been a constant motivation. And I’m so sure those people can’t do a 40 second plank like I can, they can’t walk 10000 steps everyday and make it a routine, they can’t avoid their favourite food items to achieve something, they can’t do anything what I can and I love myself for that! I wish I could go back and thank all those people, thanks for making me think about myself and change for the better. I’ve learnt some important life lessons in this journey and one of them is that no matter how pure you are at heart, people are going to judge you on the basis of your looks and this is how our generation is! I’m glad that I’m able to share my story with a few people and I hope this encourages them to change for the better and become fitter. Just believe in yourself and you’re gonna kill it!!
