Slim & Trim Despite Life - An Impactful Weight Loss Anecdote

Hi, I am Sushma, born and brought up in Bangalore. I have been working in the IT industry since 11 years. I would like to share my story of losing excess weight of 12-15 kgs and being fit, getting energetic & looking younger.

I was slim throughout my childhood until college days, where I was able to maintain my weight at around 58 kg. Once I joined work, my lifestyle changed - sleeping late, eating whatever is available, leading a sedentary lifestyle - led me to gradually put on weight over a period of 2-3 yrs without even realizing it. That's when I was also diagnosed with thyroid and doctor said I need to take care of my health and lose weight. I did yoga, exercise, crash diet, reduced my calorie intake etc., but could not follow any of them for a long duration, lost motivation in-between and was unable to get into any rhythm.

Though I lost 2-3 kgs by implementing the above process, it bounced back in no time. Meanwhile, I gave birth to my son and my weight became 74kgs - my face was chubby and fat was spread all over my body. I was unhappy but was at my wit’s end. 

That's when I came across WQ community through my husband. I heard about Swati, who was an IT Engineer and a mother of two children, being able to lose weight and get fit.

This gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation - this time I wanted to do it right and get it done once for all. With the help of my WQ Coach, I learnt about good habits like dinner before 7, how to avoid sugar cravings, how to control mind tricks with mood swings, making exercise a part of my lifestyle and plenty other conscious lifestyle changes… !

Over a period of 6 months, I lost all my extra weight and was back to my college days’ weight of 58kg. Now I have been stable at this weight since 6 months which is the real victory.

I look younger, healthy and feel much more energetic now. I have gained so much practical knowledge about health that I could help my entire family & friends to become fitter & look younger.

Health is the biggest gift that we can offer to someone and I am elated to be able to do so !
