December 30th,2011 In the world of weight loss 20kgs may not be that big a deal especially compared to shows like The Biggest Loser series but I remember what it was like when I was carrying that weight around.
Not only do you carry the weight physically,it also weighs you down metally in terms of guilt,worry and dissatisfaction. The act of eating which is a basic human necessity becomes a source of internal argument every single time. You’re always bargaining with yourself before you choose to eat something or consoling yourself if you’ve eaten too much. Eating is just never done for the sake of it.
When I take into consideration the effort that has gone into losing the weight,20kgs seems a reasonable reward,but on the other hand when I’m struggling these days just to lose 1kgs,those 20kgs seems like a miracle. How did I carry on day after day keeping to my diet plan?
Sometimes when I’m researching for an article and come across some scary facts on obesity I get a little panicky until I look at myself and realise I’m no more than overweight person. It’s relief that I feel more than anything else.
As far as clothes are concerned,it has been wonderful to be able to wear so many different types of outfits of my choice. It gives me a sense of achievement and when I walk by clothes stores and I sometimes cannot hide a smile thinking I can now choose anything on the rack and they will have my size.
