 "Fat to fit" and "Fat to fab" 

What are these???  

You'll say probably one more fat loss guide...
Oh!  I am sorry,  I have to disagree..
Because....

These... These are the two magical spells to all those people who desire to loose weight desperately...


Wait.. 

Did I say Magic???

Yaa right... Magical spell... and Magic doesn't work in the real world.... So time to wake up...

Start of the day... You switch on the TV and its the same channel that aired your late night movie and voila! There you hear sound of a woman in some creepy advertisements asking you to buy green tea, slim belts, slim capsules... and you are left wondering.. 

Wow.. Just a drink...a simple pill... and its done.. 

Hey.. Hold on a minute... Lets Google it for the reviews first.. 

Then you go to review section and find everything dissenting...

And you are back to reality "Again" .....

You try to read newspaper and in every nook and corner you find skinny people showing off their body and asking you to join Gym like they did and the miraculous change happened... and you actually start comparing their before and after pictures and starts getting impressed and then you look up at the rates and suddenly you gaze upon a pamphlet which says "Mega sale of the year" and you drop your idea of joining the Gym and you further elucidate yourself the reason why you opted Sale over Gym.. and you come up with dumbest reasons imaginable... "How can I join Gym, I'll be tired for the whole day and what about my work. Who's gonna do my work then. Moreover I don't want muscular body"
Then you think about taking things in your own hands and think to go jogging daily in the morning before work and you end you sleeping late till your alarm clock wants to explode saying "wake up.. ... its been hours now.  Atleast make me rest" ...?

Congratulations... You just failed... And you try to cover up saying that you don't have proper jogging shoes... 

"So I guess I'll start cycling.. Yaa that seems nice... Like this I can listen music and cycle... No huss and fuss".. and you excitedly assemble the machine... (Excitement level reaches far beyond imaginable like you have already achieved everything) 

Finally Cycling Time:

After 15 min of cycling... You seem motivated enough like you are going to loose all the extra fat in just one day.. and you paddle.. paddle.... and paddle...
bit tired but its fun.... 

Day 5..Cycling...oh! my back hurts...

Day 10...I guess I need a break.... 

And here lets welcome an elongated break that never seems to end... and the poor cycling machine is now used as a cloth stand which lies in the corner of the room...
So you decide,  no jogging, no cycling and then you come up with another brilliant idea of doing Yoga...as you now think to be more on a spiritual side and enjoy the fruits of meditation.. After all Baba Ramdev is one brilliant coach who keep reminding us that how crucial is to remain fit emphasizing on "How"...

You get the yoga mat ready, after all you need to be properly equipped before the major task...and you search for Baba Ramdev Yoga on Google .. Seeing the long list you get confused where to start from among 
Tadasana, 
Vrikshasana, 
Adho Mukho Svanasana, 
Trikonasana, 
Kursiasana, 
Naukasana,  
Bhujangasana,  
Paschimottanasana. 

Feeeeeewwwwweweeeee......! 

After actually reading the gigantic names you start sweating .. And you finally agree upon doing suryanamaskaar...

Its Yoga Time:

It feels nice lying on a mat.. finally found something that will help you in finding inner peace.. 

Few minutes pass and you kind of start enjoying it after all it involves no running,  jumping, no cycling or hard core exercising... 

Day 4. You struggle to find time... 

By Day 12..you end up doing more of Shava asana... Lying like a dead body.. and you end up taking short naps successfully... 

Day 15. Yoga mat is lying beneath the bed still waiting to be used again....

Bravo.. Atleast you tried.. This is what really matters.. This is a picture that mind delineates. 

But now you seems to get little worried and bit emotional too... You think and rethink and try to understand what went wrong...

You try to find a mistake where you know that nothing was right in first place....and then comes the master stroke... you end up eating one giant burger with one glass of coke just because you are feeling low and wants a break..... 

Suddenly you realize that the reason behind your plumper body(word fat is bit more disturbing plumper sounds bit relaxing) is not lack of physical activity but your eating habits and that moment you decide to come up with one fabulous diet plan... and again...  
you Google...

    How to loose weight in 7 days, 10 days,  less than two month... 
    How to loose weight with one simple ingredient... 
    How to loose weight with GM diet... 
    How to loose weight celebrity style... 
    How to loose weight in short span... 
    How to loose weight miraculously... 


And after reading all the articles you feel motivated and start trying them.. But nothing works after Day 3...even 2 days of following them sincerely seems like climbing Everest and you decide to drop the whole idea of getting thin...

You still wait for one miracle that might happen when you wake up and find yourself to be a doppelganger of Priyanka Chopra....Instead you wake up as "yourself" and as usual running late for work.. 

There you find people who keep advising who are too slim and never had issues finding right size of clothing..

Oh! Before I forget to mention the Facebook "know it all" links posted by people suggesting to eat one or the other thing with water,  without water, make a powder, drink in the morning or night... and when you get back home exhausted because of work pressure and also carrying the burden of advises and then Mother India(No one can replace her, Dear Mothers) waiting to serve best home cooked.. tempting food with loads of butter because according to her you are far not eligible to diet. 

But still as a concern she offers her hand to make all those ridiculous dishes promising to contribute in weight loss...

When she cooks a low carb diet and find you struggling to eat half a bowl then every time her conscience comes in between and she keeps offering butter with aloo paranthas, rice with gravy and you end up eating double for all the missed opportunities...

Well you try to free your soul from the guilt of cheating on the exercise and diet and your loved ones keep consoling you that "Who said you are fat?  You are healthy and too cute with these chubby cheeks."  and you get all lost in their buttery talks that you start considering that you don't need any of these as people love  you for who you are and not how you look.. and then you google again....

This time you read articles like Learn to accept your body type and love yourself...

You start feeling depressed because they seem more like bandage on the wound and not the actual cure...

Then comes the festival that brings all the loved ones together and with all those social gatherings comes the scrumptious food.. Soups, drinks, fried snacks and not to forget those inviting sweets all enriched with lots and lots of dry fruits... 

Festivals are meant to enjoy and its ones a year opportunity and no one wants to miss it....

When you are done eating you get to hang out with cousins who are 1/2 your size and not to forget have "N" no of followers on Instagram and Twitter.. Who keep blabbing about how much likes they got on a picture clicked near some beach in Goa or in traditional attire, where someone wrote in comments section "Oh!  You like Urvashi Rautela.."... 

I mean Yaa right... and what my comment section says..... 
"Moti jyada mat kha fatt jayegi..." 
"kokli-mokli mushhh... Wish I get your cheeks.."
" So cute.. You look like a teddy bear.. "

Well may be these comments never bothered in first place but after hearing about Urvashi Rautela, anyone would want to hide somewhere deep... deep.... deep down the burrow like Alice found in Alice in wonderland. 

Then you see the innocent souls running, jumping, dancing,  singing... (I guess you get the picture because they don't have a pause button and are highly energized to make anyone feel old) and you think how you miss the carefree life and think to spend some time with the little munchkins just to settle the hurricane going on in your mind and a nuclear bomb more powerful than one dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki...( yes because it brings the worse emotions out of you destroying every single positive one... "Confused??"...) 

One of the munchkin runs towards his mother and asks her politely, "Mamma, there's one more baby.."  and his finger pointed towards your tummy... and the shock waves hit you and you sit there like a statue.. You try to avoid by giving one ridiculous smile.. Trying to show your bright smile but your lips refuse to open up.. and you start twirling your hair strands...

You wish it to be a bad... bad dream... But it isn't and there you are.... 

Evaluating what all you did to be in shape and failed miserably... 

After many emotional nights you wipe away the tears and  promise yourself that you will change and start taking things seriously...

You plan everything again... 
Set the Alarm... 
Jogging... 
Yoga... 
Cycling... 
Exercise... 
Diet... 
Work... 
All set... No clashing... 
Everything planned...

Next day..

Alarm.... 
Tring... Trinnnggg....Trinnnngggg....Trrrriiiiinnnnnggg
and you sleep on all the plans that you made with red swollen eyes on a wet pillow... 

It goes on and on and on...you carry on doing everything except exercise and a diet... 

But In my case I learnt my lesson...this article is surely inspired from my life's struggles... 

Yes...I have been struggling from many... many months... Every time I start... One or the other dumb reason call it quit... Hopefully this time I will... Lets see...

Failure is big teacher... If you can't learn from failure you can never learn anything...

As I am now the self proclaimed Know it all guide...Give me sometime and I will write a Fat loss guide...



Hopefully...

I dont want to be like someone but me...  But with a more healthy body and mind... I want to bring change in my body not to please anyone but myself....
