EAT, EAT AND EAT

Almost a year back, I had major symptoms of eating disorders. I always like eating something or the other. As soon as i used to get up from the bed, even without brushing my teeth, I would start binge eating on chocolates or ice cream. Before breakfast, I would have 5 to 6 cups of tea.

I always had a heavy breakfast, heavy lunch and heavy dinner. Even after having such heavy meals, I used to always feel hungry and then binge on chips, fried items, chocolates, ice creams, etc. This had become my routine and it was difficult for me to concentrate on my work (see effects of eating disorders). I used to always think of eating, eating and only eating. I had started putting on too much weight and my skin problems started - I was getting a lot of pimples on my face. Whenever I used to stand in front of the mirror, I hated myself.

One fine day, I met a really smart and handsome guy. I fell in love with him in the very first meeting. But I noticed he was not much interested in talking to me. At that point it struck me that it's high time I lose weight and look beautiful. I decided that I have to look smart only for that guy.

I went to meet a good dietitian. She asked me about my profile and all of my eating habits. I also told her why I wanted to lose weight. The dietitian gave me a good diet chart to help deal with my food addiction where in I didn't have to be hungry all the time and I could still manage to lose weight. She also showed a lot of confidence in me that boosted my energy level and commitment to losing weight.

I followed everything very honestly and started losing a good amount of weight. Finally I am now back in shape and loving myself.

Hey I need to share one more thing ... I am getting married to that guy in the next few months. :)
