I need to lose weight.
The mirror in my bedroom seems to have a concave surface every time I look at it. This reader’s digest with its every damn issue wants me to lose weight. I am so
desperate!
Ok, enough, I will
start today. I will start my day with a glass of warm lemon water in the
morning with a drop of honey in it. Priyanka told me that this chick from
college who resembled a vermicelli strand, used to drink boiling hot water
after every meal. Helps with the digestion she said. I will also drink boiling
hot water. I have heard that lemon water also helps you pass the stool easier.
Stool! What a funny word. A stool also means a small bench and it also means faeces.
Faeces, even that is a funny word. Reminds me of the cosmetic brand Faces. Boiling water after every meal it
is!
I will start working
out in the morning. 30 minutes on the elliptical, 15 minutes on the treadmill
and some floor exercises, that would be enough to chisel my body to perfection.
Actually, I have heard that Jillian Michaels
has this video online called the ‘30 Day Shred’ which is an exercise video of
20 minutes but it is said to kick ass. Last time I saw her video, she claimed
that giving her 20 minutes is equivalent to ‘spending hours of phonying at the
gym’. I will give her my 20 minutes. She is so hot! Lesbians are hot, except
those who pretend to be men, like the ones they show in ‘Orange is the new black’. 20 minutes I will give her, every
morning. But I have to be at work 9 am and this is when I don’t have a case to attend.
Stupid law! Why did I become a lawyer? Ok, I will wake up at 5 am and workout
or maybe I will work out after work because then I won’t have that morning ugly
face which needs time to fix. Also, because of the food I ate since morning, I would
be having high energy levels. Evening workout it is!
Or maybe, I should just
diet. I will start with some cornflakes in the morning. Deepika Padukone feels special after having cornflakes. So, what if
I don’t drink milk? I will just have cornflakes dry, pretending that it is Bhel Puri. I will not eat the snacks
that the cycle chai wala gets us at
work. Also, two chappatis in the afternoon for lunch and two cups of green tea
throughout the day. I hate green tea! Ok, I will let it cool down completely
and gulp it down in one go. I even read somewhere that cold green tea has more
anti-oxidants than hot green tea. My problem is solved. I eat so much at night.
I will skip dinner. Actually, I won’t eat anything after 6 pm. In that book ‘Lose weight and not your mind’ the author
said that your stomach gets sleepy and that it’s at its best between 7 am -10
am. Oh! The book's name was ‘Don’t lose your mind, Lose your weight.’ Maybe I
will follow the reverse diet! Have heavy breakfast, comparatively less heavy
lunch and little dinner. May be I will just have fruits at night. There is an
apple lying in the fridge.
Fridge. There is ice-cream
in the fridge.
P.S- I am in the ‘last
line’ stage. Everyday
P.P.S- I missed
blogging. Lawyering is keeping me on my toes. So many blogs to read!
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper!:) Regardless of what you read!
ReplyDeleteheheh true. My mom says the same.
Deletehehehe It is a crazy world out there and it seems to be driving you nuts. Chill.
ReplyDeletehaha it is!! Thanks for reading
DeleteHahahahhahhahahaha :D
ReplyDeleteDo not see anything that is written on the Holy grail of Internet if u want to lose weight. On one page a celebrity dietician will tell you to stop snacking ...another will tell you to eat cake because it boosts metabolism . What works for you will not work for me. Simple. :D
On a different note, stop bothering about weight as long as you are in a healthy bracket. YOLO !
cake ? did u say cake? WHY did you say cake?! There goes my weight watching!!!
Deletehahah! that was funny. Smart biz pple have made a million dollar industry out of this weight loss mania! see Vandana Luthara, the bulky entrepreneur, her weight loss programs sell like like hot cakes!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mr. Rahul Bhatia. This is the best way to manage meals :)
Yes. I am following the same :D
DeleteDon't lose your mind-that's the key..good luck :-)
ReplyDeletehaha definitely!
DeleteI would have shared my food regime, but that would just involve more junk food, cakes, chocolates and coffee. (Wait, did I just invite myself for a beating party?)
ReplyDeleteI have seen people going extremes with the dieting thing just to get slim. I guess that would be a unhealthy way. Though not as unhealthy as my junk food, but that's not point. Eat healthy like the one you mentioned about the breakfast, lunch and dinner. That is near perfect regime. And accordingly work out. But the point is not to stress yourself about losing weight. Consider it as a way to get healthy.
Okay, I should stop now. I know nothing about all this business. But, I feel that the weight factor shouldn't stop us from eating what we love eating.
Eat healthy. Stay healthy.
Take care.
hahaah This post isnt about me being depressed about my weight. This is a normal thought process of a woman regarding her weight. Ask anyone :p
DeleteYou got all the right information. Just need to act on it!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. One day!!! :D
DeleteNow only if I could lose my mind and weight... ;)
ReplyDeleteme too :(
Deleteha ha...getting married soon? thinking about dieting/or not dieting and losing/not losing weight?
ReplyDeletenooo m not getting married anytime soon :P
Deletegood......!!!!!
Deletehahhaha.. i love your thought process! Don't push yourself too much Red. Change one thing at a time in your schedule and you'll do wonders. :*
ReplyDeleteI keep telling myself that. One tiny tweak. Never happens :(
DeleteDid I see me through your words? I really drink hot water after lunch, you know?
ReplyDeleteAnd, I have a packet of awful tasting unopened packets of green tea which is nearing its expiry date.
And, about getting up at 5AM... you have to sleep at 10PM... I can sleep at 10PM... But waking up?!!!
I was ROFL when I read this: "I will just have cornflakes dry, pretending that it is Bhel Puri."
Nice one Red aka Deepika-in-making...
haahha I am so glad you could relate. We women are all the same :P
DeleteThank you so much for reading!
You always win in making us smile
ReplyDeleteThank you so much
DeleteAm surely going to wait for the 'follow up' post to figure out what it is that you are exactly doing from all of the above mentioned suggestions and possibilities :)
ReplyDeletehahaahahah I wonder what the follow up post be consisting of :P
DeleteAnd back with a cracker post! :D
ReplyDeleteToo many people giving advice out there...just chill Red!
I shall. Thanks a lot love!
Delete:D :D.. So finally what happens ? did u do something ? I for once, am tired with the numerous suggestions and ways to loose weight...
ReplyDeleteI am tired too! I didnt do anything :P
DeleteSeems as if there are so many different theories on ways to lose weight, but the one universal one is exercise :) it never fails.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. It never fails.
DeleteI loveeee you. You hate green tea? Me tooo!!!!
ReplyDeleteI promised myself that I'll drink that green crap twice every day for at-least a month. But half a cup on the first day, made me throw the whole packet to the bin. And every time I see Sonakshi's weight loss.... I feel so motivated until I see the tread-mill... or that chocolate bar in my bag. Sigh!
I love you too. I hate green tea but I heard its really good for you :P
DeleteSonakshi sinha is making me feel so bad :(
Well story of my life :D Even as I read through your post, the words Bhel Puri, Snacks, Ice cream caught my attention first. Need I say more? Oh Red! When will we get the will power?
ReplyDeleteWILL power....hmmm is only they made pills which gave it to those who has less of it :P
DeleteLOL!!! I have been doing the same for years now. Plan. Plan. Plan. Never got inyo implementation stage. :-P
ReplyDeletehahahah we are all the same!
DeleteI actually started what I like to call an 'all diet'. Its a pretty nice thing, you have motivated me to post the details on my blog!
ReplyDeletepost post!
DeleteBe careful about having too much ice-cream that too in the Winter, Red... Better pass the tub to me :) :)
ReplyDeleteTake care! And find time to blog, ok?
hahahaah lets share?!
DeleteI shall!
Haha there are too many crazy ideas being promoted for weight loss :) I say it's all about a healthy lifestyle you can maintain!
ReplyDeletehealthy lifestyle sounds so difficult man!
DeleteBoiling water sounds a little drastic :O I have heard luke warm water with a few drops of lemon and honey works but the side effect is that it makes you tired and weary and gives you a low BP.
ReplyDeleteGreen tea works but only if you drink gallons of it. This has a side effect too... you end up having too much caffeine :/
So every remedy has a side effect. I think it we would lose our mind before we lose weight. I gave up trying.
Nice post. Could relate to it, to every word of it! :)
I just have the green tea. not the lemon stuff. UGHHHH!!!
DeleteHhahaha glad you could relate!
I will give you a very simple solution...
ReplyDelete>> start living by yourself >> start cooking full time >> pledge to eat what you cook or be broke enough to not purchase anything apart from grocery .. :D
Its effective. hehe.
hahahahaah I am sure it is effecive!!
DeleteStory of my gf..
ReplyDeleteROFL! What an amazing post.. this is the story of my life too! :D I make all amazing diet plans when my stomach is full..and by the time I start the plan. I am hungry again!
ReplyDeleteMissed you! Keep writing! :) :*
I missed you!!! I think of dieting after every damn meal :(
DeleteGood to see you back with a good dose of your usual sarcasm. God, how I missed you! You are beautiful thin or fat. I've been there, done that. Just finished my tub of ice cream and smacking my lips after reading your post :)
ReplyDeleteI have missed you and blogging too. I am going to visit your blog soon!!!! I need ice-cream now!
DeleteI love the way you titled the blog. :) Funny....and true. I guess this is true with so many women and men equally who are serious but not serious about the "diet" part...hahaha
ReplyDeletehahahaah thank you so much for reading!
DeleteYou are so like me. I want to be thin but it's just a word for me and I have super glamorous friends who post super super glamorous pictures on social media. Oh, I have model friends too. I am doomed. Please let me know if anything works. I can't do those cardios and also, somewhere in my mind I think you are not fat. You just say it.
ReplyDeleteI hate my super glamorous friends. Ummmm...haha!
DeleteModel friends are the worst no?
Now I want you to know me personally. pls!:D
:) You are most welcome to reveal your identity to me. :P And be my friend ofcourse. We will bitch together.
DeleteThat's okay Red, Chill, when u really want to lose, you will :) sometimes being fat is just a feeling
ReplyDeleteI wish it was a feeling :D
Deletearre baba....eat all you want!! After all we have one life....khavanu, peevanu, majja nee life....!!
ReplyDeleteThe evil side of me keeps telling me that. Are you my evil side?
DeleteI am like one of those people- however much I eat I don't gain weight :D *YaY*
ReplyDeleteI HATE YOU ! HUH!
DeleteHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
DeleteI love you too Red :P
Dieting is something which I can never do.work outs an all I can easily handle but handling by taste buds when I knew That Der is an ice cream in the fridge is basically impossible with me.& I end up breaking that diet comforting myself by saying "ek baar kaane se kuch nahi hoga"...& I end up covering all those calories which I had lost...
ReplyDelete& then again the cycle keeps repeating..!! Rofl...
Exactly. I can workout but never diet . but then again dieting and workout shud go hand in hand :(
DeleteI could so relate to you. I am fighting with a stubborn lower abb fat... Jillian's workouts are awesome. They did help me a little but then friday comes and I gorge down pastas and pizzas like an Italian restaurant. :D
ReplyDeleteI am fighting with a stubborn full body fat :P
DeleteJillian is kick ass!
Whatever you do...dont read those shitty magazines and dont watch these commercials !! Make believe... Everything...!!!
ReplyDeleteThey dont affect me anyway. :D
DeleteHahaha. Why do you reflect my thoughts so often? :'D
ReplyDeleteI am going through a 'I need to lose weight' phase too. What I did was eat junk food while watching a zumba video .____. Hopelessness it is!
P.S. My blog has moved to a new address http://thegaptoothedsmile.blogspot.in
Hhaha I am so glad you could relate! I am on my way to your blog!
Deleteword DISCIPLINE applies to every aspect of life.if you really have discipline,you will have control on everything and diet too is part of it.becoming fat or obese is indiscipline in eating habits.fat people are really big turn off unless if you are suffering from hormone issue or some medical illness.fat people sitting adjacent to you in a budget airliner is like squeezing you,same is in multiplex when their hands occupy half of your seat .am conscious when i eat,i don't eat junk food like burgers,pizzas,samosas,hot dogs etc etc.i restrict myself to home made food but i do eat two ice creams every day and they are made of fruit or natural.fat people are really nightmare.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading!
DeleteLove to read your posts, red. Hilarious this one. But there is truth too right. Losing weight is one big task. Dieting, exercising and a lot more to do. I end up reading the tips and that's it. ;)
ReplyDeleteSame pinch !!! During the team outings, the others hog on food. I restrict myself. And say no to desserts. But my cheeks become more chubbier and they remain the same :(
ReplyDeleteWhy lose anything? Losing is not good, is what my ultra-competitive Physical Education sir from school used to say. So I don't voluntarily involve myself in any activity that involves losing - be it weight or sports. Plus, all you need to be healthy is to stay in shape. And round is a shape, no?

My room-mate has a well toned physique. Whenever I ask him for tips about diet and workout he gives the same reply, "Forget following a diet. Eat all you want and whatever you like. Maintaining a diet is boring as hell and very torturous." :-/
ReplyDeleteYou can plan whatever you like .... the ice-cream would ruin it all ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can understand what you are saying. I have started gaining weight now and it is not long before I start looking like a pumpkin. But, they tell me pumpkins are cute. :P
ReplyDeleteMissed reading your posts. I wondered why and then realized I am not on blogspot anymore. Subscribed again! :)
I began by patience, and self analysis. Started with walking went onto jogging, now I am in the stage where I run everyday. 40minutes. No dieting just controlled amounts of food whatever it is. Then there's a few healthy habits like reducing the size of dinner and heavy breakfast. Try different things I guess and then do whatever you feel most comfortable doing. Take care. :)
ReplyDeleteThat image did it for me :D
ReplyDeleteDid you read my mind ??
ReplyDeleteThere is a joke- The doctor: You should reduce wait,so control your diet.
ReplyDeleteThe patient :Yes,doctor.
After two weeks:You have increased your weight.Haven't you controlled the diet?
Yes,doctor I had asked my maid to do that.Everything she does for me.
Nice post.
The thing is - some people eat eat and eat and are still thin. And then there are some who don't eat a thing, but are on the fatter side. I thought, why confuse my body. I eat and am on the fatter side :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful read, Red :)
No add-vice for you. You be well :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Blasphemous Aesthete
