Last week I shared a table with bunch of ladies at work and
of course the topic was diet regime.
Back when I joined the firm, I saw one of
the senior ladies come over and say “you look great but wait till you put on weight!
If you want to avoid that.. Just follow this app and watch out for what you eat”
She suggested an app that would show me how much calories I have
consumed during the day (not to mention.. I never installed one) but now I feel
I should have. I take a quick glace at myself in the washroom later and I seem
to have put on (Thanks to the ever delicious pizzas and chocolate pastries
that I crave for)
Today, after 9 months in this place.. I’m eagerly looking at
everyone around me. They look cheerful with glowing face talking about how
satisfied they are with a diet coke in their hand. Maybe I should start exercising
too. (Else.. I would be competing with my husband for “who is more chubby”!)
I make up my mind to start yoga early in the morning
chalking out every possibility (No more puffed eyes.. No more weird looks from
my cab driver coz I am late and no more fights for the bathroom). It looked
promising and I was happy just by the thought of it. I keep 5 back to back alarms
to wake me up and the next thing I know.. its 8 next morning and I’m looking
confusingly at my husband who is furious. He’s saying something and I’m barely
able make out..“ Why don’t you keep your phone in reach?? I had to look
everywhere at 5 in the morning just so that its shuts up!”
I slip back inside my blanket knowing I’m in trouble if a
word escapes my mouth. I will make it up for him later by getting a large
double cheese pizza :p
