An Inch Loss

AN INCH LOSS!!!

Before Script: As I promised in "The Prologue" that my first post will be the already-written "An Inch Loss". Here, I am posting it again as it makes lot of sense here. Please don't have any chauvinism against the blog. Like I said, I will tell you the real reasons of my weight loss regime. And, I will not deny from the fact that "getting married" in on my cards too. Is there any problem, if I consider it as an option or a mind-set to lose weight. 

Drool over the post:

 
After 25 years of my existence, I realized the importance of looks in a person’s life. Why I am saying so? Answer to this, you can expect later in the post. Never mind, that’s not the point here. At this point, the most important thing in my life is to reduce extra flab, weight, inches, and what not from my own body.  FYI, medically spoken, I am OBESE. Obese is someone whose, BMI (body mass index) is not in proportion with person’s height and weight. 


So, the dudette like me, who has a considerable height of 5’4”, should have an approximate weight around 54-58 kgs minus the tummy, actually, with no tummy. Now, I won’t be revealing my real weight here. Ummmmmm!!!…….. I will not give you an opportunity to make fun of me, to show extra concern and also to exhibit your ideas and secrets for losing weight. I am sorry, I carry, I KNOW IT ALL Attitude.  I don’t have any problem with my looks, fatness and out of shape figure. I am worried about my parents’ needless worry. I understood the reason of my parents’ anxiety; however, I failed to understand the apprehension of total strangers regarding my weight. Strangers can range from Auto driver, bus conductor, shop keeper, sweet shop vendor, clothes merchant to new office acquaintance etc. etc. Please guys! Give me a break. Two words for you BUZZ OFF!! 
(Oh! BTW, the new office acquaintance had turned into a good friend.)







Out of those zillion reasons, my parents are worried about, the two main are, my MARRIAGE and Future unseen health ailments, such as, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis, and few more. (Please note these medical conditions are copied from Wikipedia.)

I dint know about all these, unless, I typed OBESITY in Google and Wikipedia showed me these results. Gosh!!! Had I known this earlier, I wouldn’t have thought to gain weight. Alas! That's not the case with me. See, the ultimate destination of a human being is death. And all these diseases will not do any good to this harsh fact of life. You have to die one day, provided with disease or without any. Undoubtedly, they do make the process dreadful, but, who cares, I, certainly not. So, it’s MARRIAGE. Right! Bingo! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am totally ready, it’s the right time, right age, right medical conditions, n blah blah for marriage. So, no more questions stating, have you decided? types. Yes, I am all set to see the second innings of my life. ;) 

Gotcha! That’s why, I am talking about looks. Like every other girl, I too share a dream, where I want to look like a Princess on my wedding day. I seriously hate those, who pass comments like, Inni Moti bahu!, ladka or ladki ka koi mel nahin hai, 10 number lag rahe hai and all that.  

Don’t think that my super obese body will be turning into teeny weeny skinny hot lass. Alas!! Nothing of that sort is going to happen in next decade, or in century. However, I am still trying to make it look some way better, where I can fit myself into a pair of jeans, short skirts, dresses, backless top, Pam-tops, evening gowns and even more unseen-unheard dresses.  

For those achievable - unachievable dreams, here is what I am doing since last 6 months (Oh! Gosh, its 6 months already, when I wrote this post on "My Stupendous Salvation, I had passed only 2.5 months); I am following a diet plan suggested by my Nutritionist and on and off gym routine. Why on and off? That part of the story some day later. FYI, I was in between places of residents in March, when I wrote this post. Now-a-days, I am also on On-and-Off gym routine, because, Laziness has no substitute than Laziness itself and other zillions of excuses of not doing something extremely important.
(See, I know, its very imperative. Still, I am not putting any extra efforts. Lazy me.. huuff!! huufff!!)

Being a foodie, I cannot aloof myself from food totally, so I am creating distances from anything in my life that is habitual, flavorsome, mouthwatering, appetizing, scrumptious, yummy, juicy, succulent. I would rather replace food with YOGA, morning walks, night talks, alcohol or ……… shopping, writing blogs for that matter…or whatever fills that void. Oh! No Alcohol, way too much for an obese person. Now, please don’t give this looks that I drink? Please. ( I am still not be able to replace them with Yoga, Morning walks, however, I did cut-down my alcohol intakes.) ;)

Apart from worrying about the psychological implications of my new behavior, I am beginning to wonder if that one noodle samosa in office (alas! no noodle samosa now, its more of paneer puff roll, bread roll and Tropicana Green Apple), that Raj Kachori in Haldiram (No Raj Kachori with him now, more of Pizza treats), eating aloo in dosa or eating small chunks of sweets is causing my weight loss to slow down or not. I guess, I will find out, what happens when I stop eating them with Odyssey, (Bro and S Ji had left VM), HIM (he is not in Ggn anymore) and PC.

I don’t know, how much I will succeed and how far, I will go. However, so far, here is what I am hearing from some friends, relatives, mum-dad, and HIM, “You lose some weight!” I smiled in that “Oh Puhlease!” way I said “Oh yeah, that” *rolls eyes* “I’ve lost some since I last saw you I think.” *BIG SMILE hiding the very emotion “What! Yeah, of course, can’t you see the efforts, they are very much visible* Wait a minute, they will not stop here, it comes like an add-on thing, U NEED TO DO MORE, and, I take a deep breath, sigh, smile and say “Sure. Will do. Thank you for noticing :)”

Trust me guys, it’s not that easy for me, as it sounds. You need to really work hard to curb your hunger for good food, taste, aromas flying in the air, food blogs of different people on earth, and much more. You, XS, S, M and even L people won’t understand the mental and physical state of XXL or even worse, XXXL people. Gosh!!! Nobody can understand a fat person’s love for food. I am foodie and will always be. It’s just that, the urge of getting married to a right person has made me to come at this point, where I can do anything (anything means getting away from FOOD for sometime) to spend my life with HIM.

Not-so-super-obese is signing off with this note and dream in her eyes, that one day, she will be wearing one of the best dresses on Earth and holding his hand on an aisle (not necessarily a marriage one) but on an aisle, where, all the eyes are turning on her already.

The Prologue


Hi, 

My dad used to tell me one thing that every time, if anyone serves me anything to eat, then I should turn my head to the right direction and then turn in to left. And, I have started turning it upside-down and the result is in front of your eyes.  Because of the result, this blog comes into the picture.

It’s been almost two months that I have decided this new template for my new blog. Why did I take so long to write my first post? The answer is; laziness has no substitutes or whatever it is. 

I can give zillion of reasons for not writing the first post; let’s not
talk about it now. I started writing the prologue on May 12th 2011, that day, one of my good pal in Videocon was leaving office. Quoting him, he says, “Life is beyond Fatness, Madam.

I too, a secret-firm believer of this quote that life is beyond hell lot of things, which we think, at certain points are the most imperative things in our life. 

Keeping this very thought in a corner of my head, I am continuing this blog. Why? The first and foremost point is, that I want to share my best practices to lose weight, deviations, hard-work, gym-sessions, eating pizza at office and taking my diet very seriously and not-so-seriously, and what not. 

Oh!! Actually, they are also not those valid reasons; I usually use to escape from certain situations. Alas! This is my blog and I should at least be loyal to my very own thing. Right!

So, here is the TAKE, this blog will witness all the REAL reasons (please, focus on REAL) of why I am on this weight lose regime, what and how it all started.  

I will not talk in Pounds here, because, firstly, I really cannot do the calculations from KGS to Pounds. I am an Indian and will always say KMs than Miles, KGs than Pounds, and Rupees than Dollars. From the last time, I visited my Dietician, (Oh!! Yes, I am consulting a dietician, and now, you must be thinking, why a dietician? Just avoid anything, that is Oily and Sweet. Or say ‘No’ to Oily, Sweet and Over-Eating. Walk twice a day and you will as fit as a fiddle.) 

Remember, I am OBESE, not just over-weight and at the top of it, I am super-lazy too. I need somebody on my head, giving me directions, proper diet-plans before starving me to death and somebody, to whom, I would like to follow. Does this satisfy your fickle mind?

The first post will be my already written “An Inch Loss”, which would make more sense here than on myownstupendoussalvation. I won’t be revealing my real weight for some obvious reason; however, I shall let you know the progress of every week. 

Follow the blog, for more roller-coaster experiences, experience, with which you can relate, you can have a good laugh, can feel extremely pity on my situation, say those –Oooo!!, Aaahh!! Ouch! And Awww!! Moments and lastly, just be there and witness my experiences and all the not-so hard-work, I am putting in. 

Your ‘Now’ not-so super obese friend,
Stupendous.
