An Year ended & Another Started...

8.23 am , 26th May,2014 : This moment should be recorded as I have pledged not to have junk food anymore. People, generally, have such kind of promises, pledges, aims etc on an new year eve and as soon as the day ended, so their promises. So i am not interested in fooling myself. It's not about the occasion, it's about the moment when your heart says the same. For me, this is the moment.

But why? Why i decided to have such promise? Why I needed to cut on my food habits? All the questions will get answered by the end, hopefully. In the last year i had lived my life like never before. Almost every day party, movie a week sometimes twice a week, sleeping on weekends etc had become a part of my routine resulting which i gained 15kg of weights from 65 to 80kg. A boy who used to go for daily running, who was very conscious about his looks suddenly turned into a lethargic, fat guy. I had never imagined myself in 36" jeans. What i had been upto? I am still confused.

On 23rd May, 2014, I celebrated my 27th birthday. I distributed sweets in office, threw a party to my PG mates at room, went out for a dinner with my friends. I received many gifts along with best wishes. Everything was going great until i visited my hometown on the very next day as it was a saturday. My parents were happy as usual. While talking they commented about my obscenity (to put in a harsh way). I was chocked, could not utter a word and decided to control my weight. My colleagues, my college friends have been saying the same for couple of months, but i ignored them all. I used to console myself saying these days would never come back so enjoy it to the fullest. Keeping this backdrop in mind, i was galloping the food like a hungry child for many years. It became a disease which used to compel me to indulge into junk food eveyday.

Two days passed away in retrospection, analyzing the cause and cure for the disease. Finally the moment came, I decided to control my food habits and live a better & healthy life. In coming year, i will try to gain my original physique by working out. Though cutting on junk food does not mean that a person is not enjoying its life, yet to keep myself awake, I decided to write it down. Next time i shall meet you all as a lighter person.
