आपको अपना वजन कम करने के लिए किस बात ने प्रेरित किया?
It was not a shock moment type of story that I could tell, rather it was a series of small uncomfortable incidents that I could not ignore anymore. I was very much into long adda sessions with friends, but even a short walk to the tea stall started to leave me breathless. I realized that I was buying loose shirts more frequently, not that I liked them, but because they hid my shape.
While one morning tying my shoelaces I felt my belly pushing against me in an uncomfortable way. It was only then that I understood it. After an interval of several months, I weighed myself — 88 kg. That number made me stop for a moment. I was not angry, but only conscious of the fact that I was moving farther away from the healthy version of myself.
At 34, I made up my mind that this was not about vanity anymore. It was more about energy, freedom, and self-respect. I was not looking for quick results — what I really wanted was to be in control of my life again, slowly but surely.
“The real change is almost always silent — it is the moment you decide to stop neglecting yourself.”
आपके लक्ष्य क्या थे?
I wanted to be physically and even mentally lighter than before. My goal was to have the freedom of movement, be able to climb the stairs without puffing, and play with my niece without feeling tired.
I also set a goal to get back the confidence to be able to dress well and like the reflection in the mirror. My target was to get down to 75 kg — not as a stopover, but as a base for a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
आपने अपने लक्ष्य कैसे प्राप्त किये?
I decided against the option of strictly following diet charts and instead brought in changes that were practical and I could live with. It was not that I gave up on everything at once — I made my adjustments gradually.
- Mornings were made perfect with the right intake — green tea, soaked almonds, or a bowl of poha with vegetables instead of oily breakfast.
- I walked to places that were nearby — short rides were replaced with walking or cycling.
- I usually had dinners early — mostly light meals like soup or vegetable dalia.
- I stopped the habit of midnight snacking — this was replaced with herbal tea or a few fox nuts.
- I did stretching and mobility exercises — especially after long work hours.
- My sleep was on track — no screen time after 11 PM, consistent bedtime.
Over the period of several months, I was able to notice changes in stamina, mood, and confidence. My old jeans were my fit again, and even my friends noticed the difference.
- Hydrate wise – keep on drinking water, coconut water, or lemon water during the day.
- Live your food – eat slowly; it lets your body sense when you are full.
- Get an activity that you love – for me, it is evening cycling versus gyms; consistency is what matters most here.
- Don’t daily but weekly track – the progress is better seen over a period of time, not each morning.
- Don’t hurry – slow weight loss stays longer.
- Be a flexible balancer – 85% clean meals, 15% joy food.
पसंदीदा व्यंजन:
I was never at war with food — I just needed to make peace with portions and preparation. Here are the few of my personal favorites that kept me satiated and on the right track:
- Basa Fish Curry with Bottle Gourd – mildly, tasty, low in oil, and very filling.
- Jhinge Aloo Posto (Light Version) – same comforting taste, just less mustard oil.
- Oats Khichuri with Mixed Lentils – my favorite for rainy evenings.
- Chana and Green Apple Salad – An unusual combination of sweet, tangy, and protein-rich.
- Homemade Banana-Date Smoothie – the perfect post-walk energy drink.
These meals provided me with different options without the feeling that I was being deprived.
FreakToFit ने कैसे मदद की?
After the first few kilo losses, my progress came to a halt. That’s when I FreakToFit.
They provided:
- An individualized diet plan centering around Bengali home-cooked meals.
- Easy strength workout routine that can be done at home with bodyweight only.
- Help with portion control and giving timing rather than starvation.
- Regular follow-ups and mindset support whenever you are in a rut.
The most important thing that FreakToFit showed to me was — discipline is more important than intensity.is not only about numbers, but it is about making lifestyle good and easy to maintain.
क्या आपको असफलताओं का सामना करना पड़ा?
Yes, indeed. Office parties, late-night work sessions, and festivals were the things that most challenged my consistency. I had weekends when I overate and weeks when I was lacking in motivation. But instead of giving up, I simply reset the next morning.
If that is what changed everything — not perfection but recovery.
“Setbacks are stops only temporarily, not pauses. What really matters is to start once more.”
दूसरों के लिए सलाह.
One should not wait for a perfect plan or a new month to start with one thing today. After lunch, go for a walk, cut down on sugar in tea, or cook instead of ordering in. These little habits are what lead to the change, not fancy diets.
In case I were to lose 13 kg while juggling a full-time job, social life, and my love for Bengali food, then so could you. Just get going, keep up with your patience, and be authentic.
आपके भविष्य के लक्ष्य क्या हैं?
At present, when I weigh 75 kg, my emphasis is more on increasing strength and stamina rather than just keeping the number constant. I want to live an active lifestyle, add some light workouts to my routine, and encourage others to focus on their overall health instead of looking for quick fixes.
सबसे महत्वपूर्ण सबक?
Fitness should not be viewed as a punishment — it is an act of self-respect. There will be days when you will feel lazy and unmotivated, and that is perfectly alright. What really counts is being there again and again even when you feel like this.
What you think to your body, it listens — so do nourish it with positivity and self-control.
“Being healthy is not one single project — it is a partnership that you have to keep with yourself for a lifetime.”
