Don't you love the advice people who have had no weight issues EVER give you! or people who have lost a meagre 5-10 pounds..or worse..people who have a healthy bmi..but want to lose 30 pounds to be super skinny give you. It makes me nuts...pure and simple. Just a few days...i was given a lecture on eating everything in moderation and walking for exercise as a amazing way to lose weight. Now how i wish it were true people....i wish i could eat 2 idlies for breakfast...few fruits for snacks...2 rotis with dal and sabji for lunch and dinner...and not to forget stop eating 3 hours before bedtime and waddle around a park for my workout! Let me tell you...knowing me...i will land up putting on some pounds..really...but what can i say when i have been given this advice keeping my best interest at heart?? I smile and gnash my teeth inside...painfully biting my cheek :D
Why do people give advice? Is it because they think that they know it all? or do they love their own voice that they cannot zip their mouth or is it pure concern?? I am yet to figure it out! Now in the recent past i have lost a good amount of weight...unfortunately i have put some of it back and now i am working to lose it. Yes, i know how to lose weight..thankyouverymuch. And yes, my method is quite hard and i do get to be a fanatic when i am focused (unfortunately the round 2 on my diet i am yet to pick up momentum..darn it...) but i know what has to be done..and it is going to take me a while to brace myself for the hardwork...but hey! i know it will give me results..so i am not going to listen to your lame easy comfy diet...coz it will not work for me!
Again..i have had relatives who have asked me about my diet..and i have been honest to them..only to be quizzed again and again...just incase i did not tell them the truth or i left some friggin important info out....isn't it sad! why would i lie...i know it sucks to be fat...i am not going to fib...like the girl near my home in India...whose bum would jiggle each time she walked (i swear!!)...suddenly was all super toned...and her explanation was that she ate curd rice for dinner!!..WTF...i had been eating curd rice for dinner too...but my gut was as jiggly as ever :D Again...am i being judgemental...maybe eating just curd rice was enought to get her toned...while i might have needed something more drastic...but on my part...i made myself happy by mocking her at my home (i know..i am no saint :D)...but again...i kept my mouth shut about asking her about the diet again and again....unlike something that i am having to put up with from the past week!!
So in conclusion i want to say...diet is hard and not all diets fit everyone...this is the truth! some people lose weight on weight watchers..some on jenny...some on south beach and some on nutri-system....and the list goes on. Let people do the diet they want and you figure out the diet you need to do...and stop bloody advising already!!

Hey!! Nice to see you posting again :) Yes.. that is true.. what works for one person doesn't work for other and what worked once before may not work again even for the same person.
The toned look from eating curd rice for dinner is just downright hilarious!! How i wish :)
Oh well sweetheart... I met my once very fat now totally svelte classmate... she said she ate curd rice all the time... and lost weight. :-) so its not a unique story ;-)
