MY WAISTLINE


I am thinking of having an apple as I type this. Actually chuck that because to be quite honest, I was thinking of ordering a Margherita Pizza with extra cheese from Domino’s right now, since I am home alone and the Menu card that got delivered to me with the morning newspaper is proof enough that the Universe wants me to have a pizza foreplay today. Maybe by the time I get to the end of this post, this pizza laden desire will go away. 

By the way I am also thinking about grilling some Vegetarian Seekh Kebab later this evening. It is 4’o clock already but Seekh kebabs are not the ones to be affected by the Indian Standard Time. Sadly, today morning as I lay in the Shavasana pose during my powerless yoga class, I had made a resolution to not eat anything that would make me spread like a dough with yeast in it. Speaking of dough with yeast in it, I am still thinking about ordering that pizza. Oh did you know that I have some home-made chocolate syrup in the refrigerator?  Pretty easy to make you know. Some brown sugar, some good quality cocoa powder, some vanilla essence and some water, boiled and reduced till you reach the syrup like consistency. How about killing the seekh kebab idea and making some nice fluffy pancakes. It would soak my chocolate syrup so well. Oh Yes!

Green tea is good. I had two cups of green tea today. So I guess I deserve to go out and buy a Paneer Bhurji Puff Pastry for an evening snack. I know I had that yesterday but something about a nice crumbly puff with a melt-in-your-mouth filling of Paneer and caramelized onions deserves my attention even today. I am already forgetting about the Margherita pizza.

What will mom cook for dinner? There are some Cauliflowers and a few White radishes lying unattended inside the fridge. Maybe I will ask her to make me some Gobi Mooli ke Parathe with a chunk of butter melting in the divine heat of the paratha. That reminds me that I need to go buy some sweet lime pickle because nothing compliments a Mooli paratha than a sweet lime pickle.

Yesterday I wanted to have some chocolate. But I was dieting so I did what a prudent girl like me would do. Yes, I made some chocolate brownies. It was eggless and butter-less of course because I don’t like compromising with my health. But a chocolate brownie needs its best friend to give you a happily ever after. So I went out and bought some Vanilla ice-cream and boy! It sure was divine.  Dieting is for losers. Losers as in people who lose, some weight. I am not a loser.

Did I tell you guys that I became 65 kilos from 63 kilos? Help me out here and tell me if you know exactly why this is happening to me. We can sit together and come to a conclusion while we share that Margherita Pizza which is still ruling my mind. Or you can take a walk with me while I go buy that much delicate Paneer Bhurji  puff. Who am I kidding, we will take the car, even if the shop is like a 100 mts away.

Whatever happened to the apple I was thinking of having while I started with the post? May be I should think about my waistline and just stick to having an apple. No Margherita Pizza, No seekh Kebab, No Paneer Bhurji Puff, No pancake with my amazing home-made chocolate syrup, No Gobi Mooli ke parathe, No melting butter. Just one good old, low calorie, doctor repelling  Apple. After all, I am not someone who breaks a SHAVASANA  RESOLUTION.

P.S- I am posting this a day later. Yes, I just had an apple as I said……in the gorgeous, divine, exquisite form of…….. an APPLE PIE.  Jesus Christ!! Victoria’s Secret should come up with a body mist that smells like an Apple pie with a hint of Cinnamon in it. Oh God!!!!!

P.P.S- HELP ME!! SOS!!!

P.P.P.S- Judicial service exam got over!! Phew! Chennai will happen next week because I have an interview scheduled with a law firm. I might either become a cranky judge or I might become a cranky Criminal Lawyer. I am fine either way! Just pray for me and my waistline, Will you?

  5. dai. you speak my mind only. i am feeling like why should i give a fuck about dieting and then i look at my bulging waist and realize i do need to give many fucks about this issue. that reminds me, being married is good for the just mentioned expression :D i have been thinking of dieting for so long, i even have cosy cakey conversations with myself and tell myself that i should go on a diet.heck i am still thinking the same and munching on fryums. thinking iss a good exercise you know, especially with your jaw muscles working in random motion like a cow.
    sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    someday..someday i shall lose all that flab and wear an S. or an M. or maybe an L. yeah thats realistic.

  8. My upper part of the body follows the rules whereas the lower part of my body is my storage area of fat. I do everything to keep the fat from depositing, but well, like you said, chocolates and cakes don't seem to work during weight loss. But, don't they say "Be happy and stay fit". Now, I tried that, chocolate = happiness and happiness=fitness, but chocolate # fitness. Looks like I did my calculations wrong. No wonder, I was always bad at Mathematics.

    Hilarious post!! Well, thanks to you, I lost a few calories laughing. :D Well, I am done with my work-out for the day.

  9. I am a junkie (as in a junk food addict). Believe me when I say, I have chicken(either it is Pizza or Sub or KFC) twice a day ( 5 days a week). So, when a blood donation camp was conducted last month, I was sure that the weight machine would show me an insane number. I was shocked. It showed 60 kilos. For a moment, I thought that the needle got stuck. So, I tapped it. It didn't budge. The doc was looking weirdly at me, so I stepped down.
    Why did I tell this? I have no idea. May be to tell that restricting the food you love might make one fatter than making them into a desired shape. And also, I haven't been to gym in ages ( I mean like never).
    Would you kill me for sharing my weight ( which unfortunately is less than you) ? Probably.
    *Dodges a bullet*. Phew! That was close.

    Dear God,
    Help my friend here maintain the desired waistline and also kindly look into that interview and land her up in a better job.
    - A concerned blogger.

    P.S. Okay, I prayed. All the Best , btw. :)
    So how about that Margherita Pizza, then seekh Kebab and later Paneer Bhurji Puff plus a pancake with your amazing home-made chocolate syrup and finally dinner with Gobi Mooli ke parathe ? What say? Treat tho banta hai. :P

    1. No boy..you did not dodge that bullet boy...I hate you boy..I am going to kill you boy..I am jealous of your epic metabolism boy....I am going to do voodoo on you boy. :P

  10. I laughed and cried..looks like my own story.. I am struggling between my love for food and not getting fat. Ever since I came back home from Mumbai in Feb 2012 and started a food blog, I have been swelling up like a dough with yeast in it! I am your closest competitor, from 50 kg to 62 kg ;)

  12. Ha Ha. Nice stream of thought writing. Nowadays concept is changing. Clothe shops are offering greater discounts based on waist line. Maybe bigger waists may be the in-thing soon and people will be gouging instead of dieting.

  13. Hahahaha we go through this everyday dont we :) Ever since I read this article that says women inherently have more fat than men and take longer to lose, I have been "trying" to think twice before I sink my teeth into those crispy vadais, spicy pakoras and those divinely sinful french fries.. sigh sigh :|.. nope havent been successful at my attempts yet :P

  18. You know I went and got that book 'Don't lose your mind, lose your weight'. Its all about lifestyle and something called fat weight and body weight. Seems pretty interesting, try it out! (Kill me now, if I'm sounding like one of those boring advice giving aunties)

    Apple pie is something made in heaven and that cinnamon hint only adds on to the magic. Man, I'm drooling here. You should come to Bangalore, I'll take you for the most kick ass Apple Crumble Pie in the world. I'm still drooling.

    Eat lady, eat. Fuck the world! Stay happy and enjoy life. You never know, you might just buy that XS LBD and get hit by a truck while crossing the road. Why bother? :D

    1. hahah this was the best comment ever!!! I am surely going to send you a reminder if ever I am hitting bangalore because apple crumble pie and a good company is a thing worth traveling for :)

  28. There's you, thinking about the things that you shouldn't eat, and then here's me, thinking about why doesn't anyone deliver a menu card to me too? Why God, why?

    Try having a dog, and setting him free in the morning. Then run after him. Oh no, I got a better plan, let a lone hen free in a pen, and try to catch it, once in the morning, and other in the evening. Eggs?
    Best of luck! (With the exams and interviews)

    Ok, best of luck with the waistline too.

  36. You know, I once went on a diet and lost 10 kgs. People stopped recognising me and dad started calling me 'chusa hua mango'. I then ate a lot of food and gained those 10 kgs back. So eat whatever you want and run a lot.
