The Transformation
To say “NO” is biggest challenge a human being faces.Vaibhav had to proactively practice it every minute.
Summer season was full of mangoes but he restricted himself to one a day.
He reminded me of a recent book when he quoted his process. He brain washed himself that holiday does not equal binge eating and no food equals happiness.
He drove his wife crazy asking content of every food item in the house. This helped him keeping check on calories. He did not bother about “No carbs or high protein fads”though. All sweets went through the door and comfort food did not exist anymore.
The biggest task at hand was working out and resolutions were to be kept. Every morning waking up at 5 am was a struggle; temptation of switching off alarm clock resembled Mount Everest.
He continued. Weddings were now only social events and parties were left with no food at all. Every street was paved with charms and eyes had to be kept away initially.
Vaibhav soon learned the art of balanced eating. Slowly, he balanced his mindset of eating moderate. Panipuris were two at the most and a spoonful of ice-cream made him happy.
Every kilo dropped was a victory. He kept going ahead looking at little one all the time.
A happy and victorious Vaibhav is now 45 kgs lesser in two years time. A best seller can fail to write his experiences but I am trying to motivate everyone who are in the same boat.
Food has to be displaced from its importance more than life in mind. If all good things in life revolve around food and everything is planned around it …time to change has come.
I have used next post only for his before and after pics as they did not fit here well. Please see” Transition personified.”
