Weighty Issue

My weight ,some months back, was 74Kg. The doctor who came for routine check-up in office told me that I was over-weight by about 5-6 kg and adviced me to worked on it then.

Today again I checked. The indicator is still showing 74 Kg. I didn't speak to the doctor afterward due to feeling of embarrassment.

From the past few months, I had cut down the intake of cold drinks to almost zero. Previously, I used to gulp down atleast 1 litre in a day or two. I started walking home from office which takes me around 20 minutes. But, somehow it is making no impact on my weighty issue.

From that slim and trim body then , I now look complete ugly with stomach coming out, double-chin and face becoming rounder. The photos taken 3 years back make me feel envy of how I used to look then when my weight was around 64Kg. A junior in my office was telling 'the specs (frame) is now looking funny with my face becoming rounder .'

My resolution to go for morning jogging is still only a wish.

The only silver lining is that I'm able to hang on to 74 Kg for quite sometime. But, question remains 'how long?'

Given name for Mumbai Marathon. Hoping that some preparation for the event will help me in restoring some _lost_ pride.

A new joinee was shown photos of office for the past 3 years. She failed to recognized me in the photo as I was slim in that photo. :(
