Feb 23 ( Day 16 of 125)

 I could finally eat properly today as per my diet plan. I chewed the food slowly and thoroughly. 

I ate only 2 meals. I felt so happy. I also ended up drinking lots of water. 3.5 litres at least. 

Yeahhh !! Just really happy..

Feb 13, (Day 6 of 125)

 Slightly followed savikar Bhardwaj sir. In his formula called as 32 baar formula,  all you have to do is chew your food a lot. Also keep the morsel size very small. It should be the size of your thumb's nail. Very small size. It makes you eat very little and you lose weight. It is based on the book 'I can make you thin'.

It sounds easy. But its way difficult because mind has to stop thinking and focus on eating. Mind has a habit of running everywhere. Or eale we are watching something on mobile or tv all the time.

I expected a lot of result from my little effort.

I did not really follow anything for weight loss. I can follow dixit diet at least which is having only 2 meals a day. It reduces insulin resistance and activates glucagon which is a fat eating harmone. 

I never really followed anything for more than 15 days. 7 days actually in order to lose weight. Plus there has been a lot of stress. But how many days should I give these excuses...

 I am continuing with my medication. Feeling little better today. 

My daughter has a red day on 13 Feb in school. So, I bought a red top for her online. She tried it but instead of saying anything she just pushed me away and I felt very bad. She kind of slapped me on my face.

My son also kept crying for 40 mins straight for no reason. I gave him food, sleep even toys and extra screen time. Still he did not stop. I kept him in my arms for a while but nothing worked. 

Some days are totally mess for parents. What to say. I remember I would trouble my mom same way. Never pushed or slapped anyone. But I would never like dresses she would buy for me. And then I would keep wearing the same dresses happily. I used to feel we should save money and not spend on my dresses. I was over thinking the budget. 

Don't judge the kids. They are still learning. Just how my day went.  Same girl cries when I cough. She feels something terrible has happened to me. 

I could not sleep well last night. No diet followed.  Multiple meals for medicine.  

I will start again from tomorrow.

Feb 10, 2026 (Day 3 of 125)

 As expected I saw a little gain in my weight. I gained 200 grms. I ate multiple meals because I had to take medicines. My fever, cough and cold got worse in 2 days. Had to start medication. 

I had throat infection also. 

But this happens to me. Body reacts to all the changes. Even when you are trying to follow healthier routine and diet, it will react. 

I slept well. 1 am to 7 am. No exercises or diet followed. Just pampered myself.

I saw a reel today, the slower you become , the faster will be the results. She explained it so beautifully. She said when you are calm in the present moment, you create a space around you which already allows healing. It was beautiful.  

I anyway do not understand why are human beings in such a rush to attain everything...

I saw Oppenheimer again today. Last 40 mins I guess. That's how you finish a movie when you have a baby. 30 mins today, 36 mins tomorrow and so on . 

I have become a fan of Celine Murphy. His eyes are so intense. 

When my kids fall asleep, my first task is to play either "Tarak Mehta ka Ulta Chashma" or "Big Bang Theory" on my phone and put on my headphones as I start my household work.

People like Friends( the tv show). But my go to place is Big Bang Theory.

Next movie would be Steve Jobs.

Feb 9, (day 2 of 125)

 I did have 3 meals yesterday . I had fruits in my third meal as I was feeling a bit down. Yet I lost 300 grams. 

This made me really happy. I slept well but not on time. 

I continued reading Atomic habits. But could not read much. 

In my younger age, I would start reading after dinner and then I would keep reading till 3 am , 2 am. But it was novels and stuff mostly.  

Miss those days!!

So far I have lost 750 Grams (date 9 Feb 2026)

Feb 8, (Day 1 of 125)

I woke up at 8 am. I fell asleep at 1 am. 7 hours sleep done.  I had to wake up twice during the night. But 1 am is not good. I should sleep by 12 or 11.30 pm. I could sleep till 8 am because my mom is at my place for 2 days. You become lazy automatically when mom pampers you.

Then I followed 2MAD. I had pav bhaji in both meals. Homemade pav bhaji. But it has butter. Lets see. I walked today around 2000 steps and 2000 steps during household work. 

My child had a vaccine today.  I am having cold also. A lot of it. But it happens to me. When I do something for my body, it starts responding. I get cough, cold and fever also. This is body throwing away mucus stuck in body. Its a good sign. Can't give up. This time surprisingly I had no fever. I guess new moms do not feel sick because we are so focused on the child's needs. 

In fact I oiled and shampooed my hair today. 

Also, since I am following 2MAD, there is only one option left in between.  And that's water.

I am drinking a lot of water. Its happening effortlessly. I now realise, I was not drinking enough water. 

Today morning when I checked i had lost only 100 grams of weight. Later I checked again. It showed 200 gms loss. I hope I lose 300 gms each day. I have planned some activity also for this. Hope it works. 

I read 1 or 2 pages of Atomic Habits also. Wonderful book.  I remember one statement.

When a flight is departing from Los Angeles, and pilot happens to make a small mistake and the aeroplane is diverted by an angle by 3.5 degrees. The plane will land in Washington DC instead of Newyork. So, same way, smallest of your habits (good or bad) will decide your future. 

Truth is so bitter.

Feb 7, 2026 (Day zero)

It's 7th of February 2026 today. 

Exactly after 125 days from tomorrow,  it will be my birthday. 

Since 2 days, I am following  2 MAD (2 Meals A Day). It helps reduce the insulin resistance.

I have also started sleeping better. I have to wake up twice or thrice to feed my child. 

I can not take a nap during the day as the little one needs attention. 

Today also I could follow 2 MAD. And it ultimately leads you to drink lots of water. 

I hit my target today and yesterday.

I am sure, tomorrow morning also,  the numbers on my weighing scale won't disappoint me.

I will track my progress here for next 125 days.

My target is to lose 300 gms each day. But in last 2 days, I lost 150 gms each day. I am not unhappy. But i need to increase my activity.

I heard a very beautiful statement by a tV anchor during 26th Jan 2026 parade. He said_

" when you work hard, it shows up.

And when you don't work hard, it shows up too."

It just hit me hard.
