I tried hard with my weight to reduce it. My whole life portrays me as a huge and fat girl. I was pretty, but everybody would comment, “Julian is pretty, but don’t you think shes a bit too obese?”. I have been listening to this comment right from my seventh grade when I weighed 120 lbs. I remember in high school I was above 180 lbs. I happened to be a gregarious person, always surrounded [...]

As I grew up, I realized that I had been bigger than my classmates. I was active, pretty, top scorer of my class and popular amongst boys due to my witty replies. I happened to be a cheerful and fun-loving girl. I used to go hiking, swimming and took up lots of running. I was only seventeen, but an unfortunate incident changed my whole personality. My parents got divorced and that had a very strong [...]

Ever since my teenage years, I had severe weight issues. Eating, eating and eating was my hobby. I did not eat to live, rather I lived to eat. My friends, family and people around me would make comments about my weight. I was initially in a state of self-denial. I was not ready to accept that I had gone fat. Once I realized, I went so stressed out and upset that I almost failed in [...]

Obesity has been a family problem of mine. Being fat is in my genes. My parents, my sister and my grandpa – all are heavy and huge and proud to hail from a family of fat people. I have always seen unhealthy foods around me like, chocolates, cookies, sweets, soda drinks and pizzas. All these food items were just triggering us to weight gain. I always liked those smart and energetic girls, wrapped in stylish [...]

In this review, I would share my story about how I successfully lost my weight in six months. This is not out of self-praising, but simply to motivate others to go for weight loss. Obesity is nothing, but a slow death – remember it! In my family, girls and women spend most of their time in the kitchen, cooking, as food has always been an important part of our lives. And if there is some [...]

I write this story as a young, vibrant 30-year-old, mother to a lovely princess. If I say I struggled with my weight my whole life, it wouldn’t be wrong. At the age of 13, I had gone 200 pounds, which was probably because of eating in stress. It felt like I stepped in puberty right in my childhood. I remained depressed due to my studies at school and above all, the communication gap between my [...]

I was not at all a fat girl in my teenage years. Rather pretty and slim, other girls used to dream about having my shape. I had an ideal figure when I got married. Everything was going well, but when I gave birth to my first child at the age of 24, I started gaining weight. During pregnancy I put on some weight, but I wasn’t worried considering it a natural phenomenon. But after delivery, [...]

This is the story of my friend – Karen – a 32 year old mother who followed a diet regimen similar to mine. ——- You might be thinking that “I did it” refers to some extraordinary invention like scientists do every other day; or perhaps it refers to some big achievement like being pronounced Miss World or that I got an A+ in some university exams. If so, well, you are mistaken. Think for a [...]

People tell you eat, but eat intelligently and healthily. Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand that and when I did, it got too late. I was fat since my childhood. But then, I didn’t have the idea that I should reduce. I developed this idea later. To make things worse for me, I got a job at a restaurant right after graduation. I could easily eat whatever I wanted there. Eating and not exercising at all made [...]

I remember I had always been very chubby and fat right from my early years. The reason is obvious and clear – I was a food lover. I could eat anything my hands got into. Eating is not troublesome if you exercise regularly and at least go on long walks. This is just where I went wrong, because I hated walking and exercising. While reading or watching television, I’d chomp down bars upon bars of [...]
