Why should you read my blog?

If you somehow got here searching for how to lose weight, you’re at the wrong place. Sorry buddy, try visiting some other sites where they tell you how easy it is to lose weight or give you some “easy recipes” which are just a pain in the ass or some crazy exercises which will get you thinking why should I have to go through this when I can simply lie down on the couch and watch TV? 

Yes, I am at the same place as you are currently. 

I’m no dietitian who will give you a perfect diet nor am I a body-trainer who will give you some amazing exercises to tone that butt.

I’m just a normal teenage girl who really wants to lose weight.  

That’s right. I’m just like you, searching the internet to find people like me who are getting on this long and tiring journey of losing weight. 

I weigh 90 kgs (around 200 pounds) and I have taken upon myself to lose weight. 

So if you are a girl or guy or whatever you are, trying to lose weight and wanting a companion on this journey, here I am.

I started this blog because…. actually I have no clue. I dont even know if anyone is going to read this shit. But now that I think about it, maybe this isn’t about other people knowing. Maybe I could use this as an input diary about how I have to lose weight or how I need to exercise. This can be like an OPEN DIARY to the world.

So basically what I’m going to do is that I’m going to start exercising and then write about it. Sounds simply, right? Maybe the writing part does, but not the exercise part. Exercise.is.a.bitch. 

I have always been on the heavier side. Hell, I am the heavier side.

Two years back (2013) I tried losing weight. I was 89 kgs and went down to 80 kgs. But then college started and I couldn’t really focus on both studies and exercise. Well, that’s at least what I keep telling myself. Honestly I was just so overwhelmed by my weight loss, that along the way I gave up. I simply became lazy. And starting procrastinating. I used to say to myself “you have lost 9kgs, take a break, the gym isn’t going anywhere”. 

But slowly days turned to weeks, turned to months, turned to years and in the blink of an eye, I reached mid of 2015. Thats when I realized that enough is enough. I need to lose weight. 

So a month back my brother and I ,started the gym again, started the diet, started the green tea and stuff but whatever I did I wasn’t losing anything whereas my brother was losing his weight per day. 

That’s when I started giving up on myself, thinking that maybe I am supposed to be like this. I am never going to be thin. I am going to be that fat girl that everyone knows. This is who I am. And as I realized this, I became for obvious about my weight.The thing is that even though I am fat, I never really cared about it. I always had friends who loved me the way I am. They never made me think about my weight or anything. My whole family is on the heavier side. So I used to ignore that I was fat. Yes, some people used to shamelessly tell me to lose weight in front of people, but I used to simply not care. 

But something happened to me in the last 24 hours, that made me think, if my brother can lose weight, why can’t I? He weighed 104kgs 2 months back and now he is around 94 kgs. If my little brother can lose weight so fast why can’t I? 

So today I got up and ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes, did some cycling for 10 minutes and followed some random exercise video on youtube for 10 minutes. In short I am tired as hell and my muscles might pain all night, but you know what? At least I started. And I am happy about that. Because if my body wouldn’t have reacted like this to the exercise then maybe I would have given up faster. But seeing my body pain and ache, just makes me realize that how much of exercising and working out my body needed in the past and how I have been blindly ignoring the signals the whole time. So even if I started small today, I am happy about at least taking the first step. As they say, ‘Taking the first step is the hardest thing’ but I feel this is going to be a tough first step, because today was only 1% of the first step. 

One can’t directly reach the top of the mountain, they have to start from the very bottom. 

So this is all for now.

Later.

Love,

N

Going Down The Scale

How many times have you typed ‘How to lose weight’ in the google search bar?

How many times have you clicked on a pop-up which tells you about this magical pill that will help you reduce weight without any exercise?

How many sites have you visited, which guaranteed you some bullshit diet by which you can lose 5-6 kgs in a month?

Or how many times has some random relative suggested some ‘out-of-the-way’ diet which will help you lose that baby fat?

For me, this has happened over a million times. Seriously. 

To all of you reader (if there are any), trust me, you aren’t the only ones. 

So basically you need to know these things about me:

1. Im a Girl.

2. Im going to turn 18 in 2 months. 

3. Today I weigh 90 kgs (around 200 pounds)

4. I’m in love with Game of Thrones and Suits

5. I’m new here(so don’t be hard on me)

6. I’m super lazy

...and that’s pretty much me

Thats all for now.

Laters,

Love,

N
