weight loss in real life Story: While you love to eat, it can be challenging to control the urge to eat, leading to weight gain that becomes difficult to control. Clothes don’t fit, you get tired quickly, and even simple tasks like tying your shoe laces become a struggle. This unhealthy weight gain can lead to a number of health problems, low self-esteem, and can also affect your mental health. This was the reality for Aishwarya Sinha, a 23-year-old medical student, who struggled to lose the excess weight. However, she proved that “where there is a will, there is a way.” Aishwarya, who once weighed 109 kg, now weighs 74 kg. Here’s how she did it!

“In February 2021, I was supposed to start college. While shopping, I realised that even 3XL clothes didn’t fit me. I started getting breathless after just walking for 20 minutes. I felt I wasn’t fit. I wanted to be the best version of myself and was tired of being overweight. So, I decided to do anything to lose weight and thus began my transformation journey,” she shared.

It took Aishwarya 8-9 months to lose the excess weight. Being a foodie, it was difficult for her to stay away from sweets and junk food, which used to take over her mind. “I love sweets and food used to control my mood. Controlling sugar cravings was mentally challenging. There were times when I doubted whether controlling sugar cravings was right?

Aishwarya’s main goal was to fit into a size L, stop listening to people’s comments, and feel worthy and confident in herself. Her biggest motivation was the endurance needed to survive medical school and college peer pressure.

Snacks: His snacks included black coffee with nuts, which also served as his pre-workout meal.

Dinner: For dinner he avoided carbohydrates and ate grilled cheese, chicken or egg whites with tomato and garlic soup.
