Day 8, 26.03.2023

Wait, Stop, Control the Hunger! So many times I’m required to tell this to myself. Especially when I’m not working or it’s a weekend. Somehow I reach the fridge, and I remember, and tell this to myself and get back. Since morning today, I’m only on papaya, however, it was a lot of it, more than half a kg. I also had a cup of milk tea without sugar. That makes a total of 250-300 cals till 2:30 pm. In the evening I’ll have light snacks and for dinner, I’ll have chicken with some rice. Overall it’s going to be around 800 cals for today.

But it hasn’t been so every day till now. The number of cheats has been higher than I had expected, that’s beyond 10%. On the fourth night I had a heavy dinner in a restaurant and 7th day, that’s yesterday was a pure play cheat – with a total of almost 2500 cals. After the dinner at the restaurant I had the guilt and wanted to make up, so I starved on the 5th day – 500 cals, that’s it. But it caused gas, and I got a weakness. I realized it wasn’t healthy, so I’m not starving today.

Probably everyone gets paranoid about weight and conspiracies around it during weight loss. At least I am. I haven’t weighed myself yet these days. Mostly because I think the weight varies quite a bit depending on several factors. The almost 90 kg on the day I had started referred to my weight post office and post a heavy workout. So, if I weighed myself after lunch I might have weighed 91. Oh damn, when is the perfect time to weigh oneself? After the morning poop? Oh shit! This paranoia is probably going to last long and is going to be debated a lot! But I don’t want to count the weight of shit as my weight :D

Know Me: Vikash Kumar

"Everything I know, I know because of love" That's Charles Dickens in War and Peace. I know things because of my experiences and imaginations. Life is a journey, from one point to another, from one corner to another, and meanwhile showing us the enigma and the beauty of various life forms, of forms without life and of abstract sensations. We get experience in this journey. And having got the power of words, we sync them in the rhythm of the events of our lives, and we create poems, poems which reflect what we have gone through what we feel and what we have become. Often these very poems also reflect what we want to achieve and what we ought to become. Plus our imaginative tendencies. Believe me readers, all of us have this poet hidden in us. I, Vikash Kumar, am just one among you. Giving conveyable words to my poems. Born and brought up in a small village in East Champaran district of Bihar, having done engineering from one of very pr...

Day 58: 15.05.2023: Drifting away?

12 days, 4 cities, 2 marriages, multiple relative’s places, lots of travel, and so on. All these of course had a toll. However, I had imagined worse. When I returned to Delhi on 10th May, I weighed 83.95 against 84.70 on 25th April. Happy because despite everything (and similar weighing – after 3 glasses of water in the morning) I weighed lesser than before. Today, I weighed 83.30 which is exactly 2.0 Kg away from the target case line. So the journey so far got a drifted curve than projected. Is it possible to catch up? Whatever the answer is, I won’t recommend it to myself. One because I’m very much aware that the existing diet itself isn’t on the healthy side. Two, I’m also aware that having already shedded 7kgs the shedding is going to be naturally slower going forward. My Excel table currently ends on the 120th day, thus the projection in the Target-72 case ends at 74. There is a probability that I’ll stay on the 10% cheats line which ends at 72.76. And I’m fine with it. Hey, by th...

Happy, because I feel it

I cried at the mountain peak I smiled at the ocean bottom I wept on the horizons I laughed in the storms For happiness was where I felt it And I was sad where I was sad Achieving what I desired Didn't make me happy For when I got what I wanted I wanted something else Something more, something different I cried for it I craved for it But often I laughed At some small little achievements I danced, I shouted Feeling a fulfillment at heart For something I didn't even dream But got that by a chance Didn't even plan to celebrate But celebrated with happiness For I was happy, because I felt it And I had cried because I had cried Who knows where the life will take to What the destiny is But I imagine, I plan, I work I fail, I succeed I smile, I laugh A small little smile For the failures A big laugh For the gains Sometimes I cry laughing Sometimes I laugh crying And the journey goes on With some tears With some smiles
