Journey and next stage

I am a Geek who loves sitting on computer(s) and use gadgets. I was always a pretty healthy person. However, a castigating injury and opulent lifestyle led me to become FAT.  I still was thinnest and fittest among my family.

I gained weight and I had no clue what to do about it. I loved eating junk food such as Chocolates, Pizza, Burger, Hot dogs, Pasta, Cheesed Nachos, Ice cream.  . I loved drinking soft drinks (could finish up 2 litres at a time). 

I reached 100 KG.  People started calling me Fatty and would introduce me as the fat guy. I was one of the fattest students in my college. That’s the day I decided to start losing weight. I tried everything out. Gym membership with personal coach (I would lose weight and then gain again.) I decided to take extreme measures [Surviving on just water for 8 days straight] and even got some results. I believe there is barely anything I haven't tried- Walking 12 Kms every day; high paced 1 hour workout till body couldn't handle anymore; cardio, weight training etc

Results: Toned down but unhealthy body. Kidney pain, digestion problems, stretch marks and of course hurting joints all the time for no reason at all. I thought it was "No pain No gain!"

I lost about 25 kg over 2 and half years, lost just 5 inch on waist. Body looks like lump. Even when I was under my BMI, I didn't feel good. My cousins started talking about how fit I looked, I felt like they were making fun of me. Every time they spoke about my size, I felt they were pulling my leg.  I just want to remove those problem areas.

One of my friends gifted me Beach body program (2 years ago). I thought I don't require it as I was already doing 2 to 4 hours work out a day, own a gym membership at best gyms, read every book and health magazine about getting 6 pack abs. ( I couldn't be more wrong). Finally after 2 years, I am pursuing my forsaken goals of getting ripped body.

I have gained 6 Kg again from sedentary and am ready for doing whatever it takes to get ripped. For now Beach body products seems last resort. Let the journey begin. I have it in me to accomplish what I desire and if I can accomplish this, I believe it will help every aspect of my life where I don’t feel confident. 

Starting with Power 90 program.

Top 3 reasons I am doing this and should keep me motivated:
1.     I made promise to myself and people around me. I just won’t be able to handle humiliation if I don’t achieve my goals.
2.     I have read so much and understand body so deep (I should be able to show my results with “Right Body” than just talking about what to do. If I want to help other achieve fitness, I should be at my best.
3.     I shouldn’t feel I don’t deserve best women just because I am not in my best shape. Once you have the best shape, other things should take care of itself. "Just let yourself be you and self with come through."
