Walking on a Lunatic Fringe


Six months before, when he started this weight loss journey, he slowly started rediscovering, who he is, what he want, need and deserve in this crazy world. As rightly pointed by Jack welch..“You can’t behave in a calm, rational manner. You’ve got to be out there on the lunatic fringe.”  Life is getting crazier day by day, Some times he feel like he is walking on a lunatic fringe. He always felt that he has hit the proverbial cul-de-sac whenever he try to figure out where life is going????? But not anymore. He was fuzzy on why he needed to get down on weight.  Then one fine day he took the following resolutions and started his journey..

1) Thou Shalt be Patient with thyself and thy weight loss.
Ofcourse he Knows, Rome cannot be built in a day. He knows he cannot become a hrithik roshan all of a sudden in a day.
2) Thou Shalt simplify and organize EVERYTHING!
So he does, he doesn't think too much about anything now. Well..Good for him..
3) Thou shalt reduce stress.
He does, Stress is just an internal phenomenon - His personal reaction to the situation. Did he ever felt too much stressed after that.
4) Thou shalt eat wholesome foods that make thee feel great.
He eats everything... Sprouts, fruits, vegetables, Roti. He also grabbed couple of sweets from his manager desk now. He never missed his evening snacks at office, whatever junk it is.
5) Thou shalt exercise every day
He does religiously. Well atleast he thinks so.
6) Thou shalt not do taste testing.
He doesn't. He simply go grab everything his coleagues gets from their home town.
7) Thou shalt know thy body and value it.
He is getting there. He already started fitting into his old clothes, which he still thinks is the coolest part of the whole thing. He is now wearing only his brother trousers. But the eerie part is he next plans to tackle with the skin tight shirts.

Don't tell anyone, he lost 9 kgs from the last 6 months. Phew.. Wow. Harder than almost anything he has done. Even though he knows people are likely to fall off their chairs in surprise and break their legs if they know this, but yes its true and 3 more to go. No short cuts in losing weight BTW, You have to be constantly hungry.
