I AM A 32YR OLD CORPORATE MOM OF 5YR OLD DAUGHTER WHO SHREDDED MORE THAN 20 KILOS WITHIN A YEAR IN SUSTAINABLE WAY WITH GOOD FOOD HABITS AND ADDING DAILY EXCERCISE TO MY ROUTINE.
From Childhood I have been a chubby girl. After marriage and c-section delivery I didn't maintain myself and After Covid due to bad food habits I was Overweight and randomly I checked my weight on Dec 2023 which was more than 94Kg. My daughter once told me Mumma you have to look like my elder sister when I will grow up and then we can also wear eachother dress by watching one random mom daughter reel. Since then I couldn't look at myself in the mirror and I got stressed and that was a wake-up call for me.
I realized that if I didn’t take control of my health, I would be at risk for even more serious health problems in the future. Also I really wanted to get fit into my old dresses like I really wanted to reverse the age. I reminded myself that this wasn’t just about losing weight to look good, also preventing serious health issues, feeling healthier overall, and being the best version of myself for me and my family. My daughter is the huge source of motivation. I wanted to be healthy and present for her, to set a good example and show her the importance of taking care of oneself. I wanted to be fit for her so that I can play with her and participate in sports activities.
So I started my home cooked diet on mid of Jan 2024 and tried to walk for 30mint and do home workout for 15mint. After 3 months of consistency I started seeing progress. Those few kilos which I lost kept me motivated both physically and mentally. Every little improvement in my health fueled my passion to be fit and active. Because of my past experience where I had failed many times after joining gym, this time I didn't joined gym at the beginning of my Weightloss Journey. Then by July 2024 I started going to the Gym for more strength. Meanwhile I have been consistently tracked my Diet and water intake. Coming to Calorie's balanced diet I checked healthify application and got track of how to balance. So instead of crash dieting, I prioritised eating healthy, home-cooked meals, which allowed me to control the quantity and quality of ingredients used. I have practiced portion control and maintained a calorie deficit by including more protein and fiber in all my meals. I had learned to limit eating out in restaurants. I cut out all the junk and processed food. These habits helped me a lot to lose weight in a sustainable way.
I was super happy when I could get fit into clothing size Large/Medium(depends on brand) from XXXL or XXXXL. I dreamt of getting fit into my old dress and it actually happened. I was super happy that day.
So I focused more on being consistent which helped me stay motivated for the process. I never gave up, even when I didn’t see any weight loss in the first month. Consistency was the key for me and the result was visible after 3 months on the weighing scale.
Now as on today, I am more fit, more strong and more happy with the result. There is still more to go as per my height , I will definitely achieve it with the process. With the correct mindset I have achieved the first target ? and I want to share my story with others to help those who have dreamt like me.
