It doesn't work that way, never will. How you feel is way more important than how you look. <br /><br />I exercise, I try to eat healthy but I never deprive myself.

But , no one listens. <br />I ve been through the diet thing, but then the body craves and craves and I binge on sugar and junk to get over the craving. <br />Instead I told myself that I am not gonna control.. started in baby steps ike drinking coffee without sugar and not eating much of the sugary stuff. Now I do not like too much of sugar in anything . Coffee with sugar tastes awful. <br />And I lost weight without me doing much about it. And the weight did not return so soon either. <br />Good one, glad that there are others who feel almost the same as I do..Pepper Tadkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470397952931806811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770686196376065461.post-26860745721546851722012-04-23T18:34:17.807+05:302012-04-23T18:34:17.807+05:30hey Visha!

So I'm glad you liked it :D<br /><br />That is a huge compliment there. I feel the same way about long posts. I have to work hard to finish reading them. But sometimes I just have so much to say I end up writing long ones too. I worry a lot that readers are going to lose interest with so many words. What you said makes me feel so much better!<br /><br />Hehe, like I said in the post, some people can just walk to the market and lose weight :D I am one of those people who can't. Every body is made differently, I suppose. The water part - yeah, sometimes thirst comes masquerading as hunger, so drinking water will fix it. But if you're still hungry then you need to nourish yourself. Glad to know you haven't cut down on your food :Dsumitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982291967366746019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770686196376065461.post-32615408423985007772012-04-23T18:27:46.246+05:302012-04-23T18:27:46.246+05:30@Nags: Glad you agree.

Only recently have I started to enjoy/admire the way I look, the way I am. You're absolutely right, it's all in the way you perceive yourself. <br /><br />As a great cook, I'm sure you would agree that dishes turn out the best when they are cooked out of love. I find the same thing with eating, when you eat with a lot of love and relish (as opposed to mindless TV-watching and not paying attention to what you put in your mouth), it leaves a great feeling within the body.sumitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982291967366746019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770686196376065461.post-63941150389362809652012-04-23T18:22:47.812+05:302012-04-23T18:22:47.812+05:30@Vikas: Long time, nice to see you here. :D You al...@Vikas: Long time, nice to see you here. :D You always come up with the catchiest of lines hehe.

Amazing how your body has put up with all that! You know, this is actually one of those rare places where 'give-up' is a good thing. This reminds me of an interview I watched the other day of a woman who lost 30/40 kilos and had the last 10 to go. They just wouldn't go at all. Then she saw a picture of herself and thought, 'My God, I actually look good'. And that's when she made peace with herself and gave up on the last 10. Which is very, very sensible. I mean, keep doing things right, and if they have to go they will. Curvy women sure are gorgeous!sumitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982291967366746019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770686196376065461.post-52826343294670249662012-04-23T18:13:06.736+05:302012-04-23T18:13:06.736+05:30@Karthik: Thanks for stopping by again.

What will happen when these people don't have so much time to spend at the gym anymore? It's obvious, right? Love your 'keeping it basic' philosophy. Makes a lot of sense. <br /><br />You know, I've gone through that as well, I've been in that phase were I was a gym-junkie too. I once met this girl from my work place who was twice my size and the only exercise she would do is to ask the cab to stop a few kms away from her home and walk the distance. I asked her if she would like to join me at the gym, and her answer was simple - I don't want to start a workout that I won't be able to sustain for a long time. At the time I thought she was finding excuses, but now I realize she was making sense after all.sumitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982291967366746019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770686196376065461.post-15353242444676594772012-04-23T17:56:58.098+05:302012-04-23T17:56:58.098+05:30@kismi: Hi!

Thanks a ton, girl! <br /><br />Yes, I find discussions over weight loss with most people very tiring too. Especially when they are all charged up about silly things like the GM diet, or worse, water diets. I really want to hold their shoulders and give them a good shake. But all I can do is smile :) You are so right, trying to lose weight unnaturally causes more damage to the body.<br /><br />I am so glad to hear you speak so sensibly on the subject!sumitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982291967366746019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770686196376065461.post-45427696216357371142012-04-23T17:44:50.390+05:302012-04-23T17:44:50.390+05:30Thanks so much, Rohu.

Usually, I do not feel like reading long write-ups but yours engage the reader.<br /><br />That said, I agree to most of your techniques on weight loss. Personally, I put up weight and lost it in the same momentum. Drinking water when you feel hungry does the trick most of the time. The body forgets the food craving and water is good for flushing out toxins so it is a win-win situation. Also, along with this walking did the trick for me. Walking to the nearby grocery store, evening walks on weekends and even the walk back from office from the bus stand to home - all this made me lose my accumulated fat and made my waist slimmer. No, I did not cut on the food a bit, I still eat as a hungry lion :D<br /><br />-VishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770686196376065461.post-49496912611333286102012-04-23T10:18:59.272+05:302012-04-23T10:18:59.272+05:30i agree on many points for sure. i am exactly like...i agree on many points for sure. i am exactly like you too, never been "skinny" and don't think i ever will be. i was the slimmest during a few years in college but even then, i never really felt slim. so it's a lot in the mind, and a lot in the way you perceive yourself. i still fight the battle, lose it more than win it, but ultimately, choose happiness (mostly) and health (at least once a day) over anything else when i choose my meals.amnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065092085963619873noreply@blogger.com
