My Journey So Far
I have been at every end of the weight spectrum. Underweight, overweight, borderline obese.
Growing up, I was an overweight kid, and it completely affected my self-confidence and self-worth, growing up in a society where a girl's weight was the most important thing about her.
When I was in 12th grade, I lost a lot of weight overtraining, undereating and ruining my relationship with food. Despite becoming underweight, I would still experience body dysmorphia and used to starve myself and guilt trip myself around food a lot.
Since I was a kid, I had a very unhealthy relationship with food - binge eating, sugar addiction and crash dieting. As a kid, I vividly remember sitting down and eating a whole pack of jalebis in front of the TV.
Post 12th, when I joined college - and with the extreme workload and the lack of access to any gym or exercise facilities- I gained more than 25kg in a span of 5 years. I used to binge eat to manage stress; in fact, I used to even hide and eat as I was so ashamed of it. I was extremely sedentary.
This weight gain completely broke my self-confidence, and I felt so uncomfortable in my body. I used to wear only loose clothes to hide my body. I used to avoid social functions to avoid hearing comments on my weight gain.
5 years, along with 2 years of COVID lockdown, really affected my health. I tried to start my fitness journey many times but failed due to a lack of accountability, laziness, overall lack of sufficient information and support. From 2021 to today, it has been quite a journey - it took a lot of learning, unlearning, discipline and consistency to get here. I had to relearn so much; I had to learn to change my relationship with food and my body and how to manage my emotions without binge eating. I never wanted to feel that helpless or hopeless again.
I had to figure out every step of this journey. I have tried every diet out there. I have quit 10 times and started over, over and over. But now I've cracked the code. Over these years, with the knowledge, experience, and learnings from my personal journey, I can help you transform your health, your relationship to food and your body in the most efficient way.
