Today is as good as any to start that weight loss program you’ve always contemplated but today does have its tactical advantages. Find out how!
At the start of 2015, I made a personal resolution to loose weight for two major reasons. One, I had gained weight over the course of previous year. Two, I felt that the excess weight was affecting my daily life and work – in terms of energy levels, productivity, creativity, concentration and effectiveness. Both bothered me, so I resolved to do something. After a lot of online research and talking to people in my network for suggestions, I zeroed in on the Paleo diet. Let me confess that the diet program was very intense and I managed to lose 4 kgs in 21 days. After that I found it impossible to sustain as a working mom. So I decided to take it slow and just eat sensibly for a few days. Then came a business travel so the routine got upset. Next came festivals (no dearth of them in India) – and festival time is usually filled with celebrations around food. That was followed by work pressures. Then kids falling sick. Then some personal commitments. Then some more travel. Then more work stress. Long story short, before I realized, it was October and my weight was almost the same as what I had been during the start of 2015!
Again that bothered me. So I decided to do something about it and started a self-designed weight loss program around 2 weeks back. All it involved was:
I must confess that it was hard to start but I can already feel the difference. I feel more fresh, active and energetic when I wake up. Clothes fit me better.
But I have a lot way to go.
So I was wondering that may be 1 November is a great day to start a new weight loss program. Here’s why!
“The woods are lovely dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep”

We are conditioned to normalise domestic violence out of fear of abandonment. Thinking that 'trauma bonding' is better than no bonding holds us back from speaking up!

Everyone said my perfect husband was like Lord Ram…. but this is how he took unfair advantage of my tolerance!
My grandmother was very fond of my husband whose name is synonymous with Lord Ram’s name. Every call she made to my husband started with the bhajan “Aaj sab mil mangal gao, Awadh mai, raam aye hain“. (Hail everyone, sing praises, Lord Ram has come in the kingdom of Awadh.) It was a mandatory welcome song whenever she met him or even spoke to him on the phone. Yes, his attributes were like that of Lord Ram. His attitude, chivalry, persona, fair skin, smile, height, physique and charm illustrate the perfect image of Lord Ram.
He was a generous man but she hardly knew much about the investments or their financial health. A couple of times, she had asked him and he had been vague. Now when she thought about it...

The Muse of the Month is a monthly writing contest organised by Women’s Web, bringing you original fiction inspired by women.
Chandrika R. Krishnan is one of the winners for the November 2021 Muse of the Month, and wins a Rs 750 Amazon voucher from Women’s Web. The juror for this month, Anuradha Kumar commented, “This introspective, quiet, story with its depiction of the relationship between two relatively older people is quite impressive. A lifetime spent together can bring familiarity and still allow for many mysteries and secrets. Also, the structure of the story, shifting from an external perspective to an internal monologue is well-done.”

Pregnancy brings a lot of changes in our body. As my pregnancy was proceeding, I was happy to see my baby’s development. But at the same time, hormones were also playing their part and my skin color was getting duller by each passing day. In my sixth month, I was shocked to see blackening around my neck too! Thanks to my crazy hormones, looking into the mirror was a pain.
There were people around me telling me that it will go after delivery. But many were of the opinion that after pregnancy, you can NEVER be the same as before.
Losing weight is perhaps a very common resolution. It's also a very short lived one. So how do you go about crafting a plan for weight loss that you stick with?

I used to fail at losing weight because I would just go crazy and do crash-diets. I’m sure this is very common, all of us wanting to get fitter or adapt to a healthier lifestyle! But, this year I did not do what I always do. I followed a diet that allowed me to eat more and did not threaten my sanity.
Let me elaborate on this.
