Prelude

I have always been over weight.

I was a big baby when I entered this world. I had a healthy appetite when I was growing up. And being the youngest and most pampered one, I always got what I wanted when I wanted it.

I have tried numerous ways to lose weight:
* Skipped rope upto 500 times a day (resulted in me having fabulous calves even now)
* Learnt Beginner's yoga (Lost 2 kgs but regained when I realised that I didn't have 3-4 hours a day to simply focus on breathing)
* Gone on an only-Salads diet (Lost 2 kgs there again. Quickly regained when I went back to my original diet)
* Crash diets (Don't bother)
* Aerobics (Fabulous the 2 times I went for the class. Built an enormous appetite which I carried on even after I stopped)

Last year, I got some help and went on a vigorous attempt to change my lifestyle. It ALMOST succeeded. I ran everyday morning, and I also followed a healthy diet. It worked well. I saw results at the end of the first week, and I felt good even after 4 months.

But I stopped because of committment issues.

Well, here I am once again. And this time, I can't afford to stop.

This blog is going to be about my trials and triumphs along my long, difficult journey. After all, I'm battling with 25 years worth of bad habits.

Sometimes, I will be angry about succumbing to that sinful dessert and will vent out. But other times, I will be happy about choosing fruits over icecream and be witty.

I'll post random stuff about myself as well as effective tips to losing weight. Maybe it will help somebody else.

Anyways, here's to the beginning! *Clink* :)
