During that point of time because of my weight I was diagnosed with 3 diseases. It was my wake up call. I was determined to lose weight because I had no other option. If I had to live longer then I had to lose weight. It was very difficult for me at first as I didn\u2019t have any idea what to do. But still I tried, in a very slow process at first.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I had a motorbike before and I would use the bike to travel wherever I go. I realized that using motorbike was making me lazy and immobile. I was living a sedentary life, I wanted comfort and that was the major factor that was keeping me away from losing weight. I would use my bike to travel everywhere even if it\u2019s only a walking distance. I not only was being lazy I also contributed to pollution. So that\u2019s my first move, getting rid of the motorbike and start walking.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In terms of food, I observed that I was always eating a lot of junk food. That contributed a lot with my problem. Second move, healthy food options.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I have the fundamentals already and I just need to execute it. I wanted to change so badly but to tell you the truth, it was just too hard.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Eventually, I realized that losing weight was a mind game. If I could control what I think then it would guide me in making choices for living a healthy lifestyle. I tried numerous times and failed, I used to give up so easily. But during the times I failed I realized that perseverance was the key to complete any kind of journey. So, I started questioning myself why I wanted to lose weight so badly. I had to make sure I had the right intentions if I wanted to achieve my target which is to embrace a healthy lifestyle.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Eventually, I still make the small habits to achieve my goal. I started walking instead of riding motorbikes. I always bring my water bottle everywhere I go. I started to be conscious about what I ate too. I avoided junk food and every packaged food. I would only eat home cooked food and fruits. After having three diseases at once, I realized how I had taken my health for granted. Not only that, I was also affecting the environment I was living in.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In 2 years I lost around 25 kilograms. The journey was a roller coaster ride but it taught me many valuable life lessons and I\u2019m still on that journey. I eventually bought a bicycle now and very much loved the lifestyle.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>During my weight loss journey, it made me became more conscious about the environment. It helped me realize that I was being a burden to this earth. At the same time, embarking the journey also convinced me that my small effort somehow made a difference.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes a single incident can teach all the valuable lessons in life. For me my weight loss journey gave me that experience.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The journey will still continue and this is will not be a weight loss journey anymore but a sustainable lifestyle story.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"322\" src=\"https:\/\/diinsiderlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-19-at-11.52.22-AM-1024x322.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diinsiderlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-19-at-11.52.22-AM-1024x322.png 1024w, https:\/\/diinsiderlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-19-at-11.52.22-AM-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/diinsiderlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-19-at-11.52.22-AM-768x241.png 768w, https:\/\/diinsiderlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-19-at-11.52.22-AM-1536x483.png 1536w, https:\/\/diinsiderlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-19-at-11.52.22-AM.png 1572w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Amulya Shrestha I was overweight since childhood due to a health condition and while I was doing my Bachelor\u2019s Degree, I reached my maximum weight of 220 pounds which was about 100 kilograms.
