We are the best of friends, no one can separate us. We are together forever and ever, me and “my fat”. I am pretty sure anyone would start ignoring me one day if I try so many things just to stay away from them but not this damn “fat”.
Dear fat, there are few places in my body you could shift to, and believe me I would not mind even a bit. But no, you will make sure to stick to places almost impossible to hide. I think fat is very much like “LOVE” you do not realize when it starts and by the time you get to know about it you are deeply and madly in love, oh! Sorry “FAT”.
I know scientists around the world are pretty busy inventing really important stuff, but a humble request from my side would not hurt I guess. Please make plates which show the tires of fat on our body every time we indulge in utterly delicious food.
Fat is kind of my best buddy now, we care for each other. I am too caring to shed it and it is too caring to leave me even an inch from anywhere. I started a general motor diet (ask anyone on dieting they will let you know the saga of the GM diet) and bought all sorts of fruits and veggies. Confused hubby looked at me “Are you sure you are trying to get rid of your fat, not our money right??”. I gave a stern look and thought you will see after 8 days huh? The third day of the GM diet and I am dreaming about “pizza”. In short, my GM diet was off on the fourth day.
God hates me too. I was born in a family where people are overly conscious about their bodies. My mom still walks more than me and does not stop for a break while I run after her panting like a dog. The elder sister eats double the amount of food and still looks like she is going for a beauty pageant with that body. Younger one sheds weight even before thinking, I mean one week of morning walk and she can slip into her 12th standard clothes, GOD WHY? WHY ME!
Okay, It might not all be a god, but I have a few confessions that might have added these Kilo Grams:
Confession 1#
I spent too much amount of time reading ideas on how and what kind of clothes would look good on me instead of using that time to do something useful in regards to losing weight. We often know the reason we keep on adding weight but hope for that miracle to take care of it. Maybe accepting this will help me find a better solution for this, hence this blog.
Confession 2#
I always find a reason for accumulated fat on my body, the only genuine one was my pregnancy (though I ate too much that time as well “Mom’s logic of Ghee and Pregnancy, sigh!” After two pregnancies, the reasons to over eat is gone but the fat is here like my best buddy. For all the moms, struggling to find that reason to workout, lets do it together.
Confession 3#
To make myself feel better I always find people more on weight than me. hallelujah, I am thin, yeah, I am that person. I am bad I know. Horrible is the word, for a person like me. But I know better now,
The post was written almost a decade ago and now that I am making some changes on the blog, I realised this one existed too. Let theses habits not keep our life in a cage of unhealthy lifestyle. A lot has changed in the last decade, I understand my body better and I know that there is nothing more precious than our health.

I’m trying to diet and your post comes at such a wonderful time 🙂 whatever our shapes, we must learn to embrace it.
I’ve done GM diet so many times, in the end I’m just losing money 🙁 it is so expensive!
Funny.. it’s like you are speaking my mind. My mother just lost a good kgs and gave me a tough competition. This week only I asked help from her, after spending so much time on reading “how to loose extra fat..” 🙂
I love the title of your blog post a lot. I even sung it hahaha. Fat. I just dont care anymore. I live to eat and it makes me happy.
So relatable. My confession is always to have that last piece of chocolate and tell myself. not from tomo…. LOL
Hahaha… I LOVE the title. It made me wanna click on the post instantly… 😉 And I totally get what you’re saying. My dad is very fit and walks everyday. But I take short cuts. And I eat a lot of junk. I also get motivated in between and then lose steam.
Loved the post. You know I lost weight 11 kgs and then a further my second baby 17kgs. I totally agree it’s not easy at all.
Haha..I loved reading this and all your confessions. It is actually difficult to lose weight and easier talking about it. I wish you all the best for your weight loss journey.
You lost me at the pizza image ?
I struggled to read the post with all the words gave me images. Damn!
Same, story of my life too..
