Hi friends!

All of you must be very well informed about the need and importance of fitness these days. Its not only to look good and enhance your overall personality, but also to feel healthy and fresh. But with the kind of stress and crazy schedules everyone has irrespective of the field you are working in, staying away from binging on sweets, candy and carbs is a tad difficult!

Ask me-I was no fitness freak or strict with my food habits and exercising! And the industry as you know demands its members to remain in shape, in spite of the extreme working hours!

But I am not a loser. I have never given up on anything and know for a fact I can overcome whatever comes my way, once I have fixated my mind on it. Same applies to this. My target was to lose approximately 12 kgs and yes I was able to meet this target

I believe that motivation is the one prime factor that can make or break your mind. Its all in your head. Once you have that will and don't let yourself down and only encourage yourself that 'Yes, I can do it and I WILL do it', you are set. it's the only tried and tested formula! Skipping meals, avoiding eating even though you are hungry helps lose weight instantly, is a MYTH. So please, if you have been following that, give it up right away! It is not the correct way. Nor is it foolproof. It tends to only backfire and make you gorge on anything and everything later and cause weaknesses. Infact, I tried it myself at the beginning. But I was only depriving myself of the basic quantity of food my body needed.

Then I challenged myself to adopt a well balanced diet mixed with an exercise routine. I started snacking every two and a half hours so I hardly ever felt starved. I would munch on green salads, rich in fiber fruits, juices, biscuits.. The main exceptions were tea and coffee, which I as such didn't like anyway so I didn't face a tough time running away from them

As for the gym, I would frequent with a mindset of wanting to go and not having to. If it is forceful, the results will slacken. But if you get your mind, body and soul in sync, going to the gym will begin to be a routine for you. Initially I had to buck up and visit it often to lose all my weight soon but now after shedding almost 11kgs, I am taking it easy.. Although I already have my next target in place-to lose 4kgs more. I am not looking for the much famed size-zero body type but after analyzing myself on and off screen, I think a little more calorie-burning is needed.

Being extremely headstrong about losing weight, I guide myself without a gym instructor because I do not feel the need to be motivated by another person. I am enough to push myself to work hard for that extra mile. I have successfully been able to help even some of my friends and co-stars to join the gym and let it benefit them, like it has benefited me. Some of them play roles of mothers on screen and have managed getting into shape! So the key my friends is, impossible is nothing!

If you are genetically plump like me, then yes, you will have to sweat it out more than naturally thin and slim people. But if you are determined to get onto those machines, control your food intake and not cheat, nothing can stop you. Not even your genes! I personally am a big Bipasha Basu fan! She has a fantastic toned and very well worked on body. Maybe you could make her or any of your own favorites too your role model and try getting a similar shape!

I wish each of you all the very best and hope to have motivated you too to get into shape and maintain it.

Lets all live a healthy and happy life!

Love,

Debina
