Fight With Weight ...

Reviewing my"self"....

Comeon , I dont even like to view myself in the mirror... leave alone reviewing... But I got to... Its high time I express my "heavy" thoughts and here we go....

Rewind --> late 1980s and later 1990s, my brother used to call me 'Nakka' meaning a fox(hold on .. not for my cunning ways, but for my physical appearance ... so lean). My mother used to force complan down my throat (inspired by the 'I am Complan Boy' ad). My father, never ever aired his views publicly on my physique. He only knows why. Come 1998, the year I gave SSC, first time I heard a talk among my class girls ... (mm..naughty!) that Siva (my first name) is gaining some grams. Brushed it off.

Over to Nellore Narayana: the mess ( aah.. really a mess) there will easily beat any sub-district level jail in Somalia. Awful, One cannot even take a mouthful of that I-dont-know-what. It will make anyone's taste buds obsolete.1st year I was okay, gained some mandatory stuff.But miraculously rather hazardously I slowly but rapidly built my weight in the 2nd year. Eamcet-2000. Over to REC Warangal. Any proper weighing machine when mounted by myself,used to have its needle at or below 72.5 in my 1st year. A zillion thanks to Arun Bhai ( Manager )of Kalinga Dhaba. I would have gulped down almost the same number of biryanis at that place. Heaven for food. Almost 78.5, when I passed out.My parents would have been proud had the figure been my aggregate percentage. I would have been proud had the case been that my acutal aggregate was my weight. It was never to be.

Infosys. Location Bangalore. Only +999 gms in 3 months. Shift+Enter Hyderabad. The land of Biryani. November 2004, I joined a gym at a place called Dargah. There used to be a weighing machine there, but gymmers are prohibited to use it at their will(s). Only the day of payment of the bill, were you allowed to look at how much you shed/put-on.

On the DOJ ( Day of Joining) I am at a royal 82, same as my YOB ( Year of Birth). Two months of hard work -> Two Kgs reduction in the Gross total weight of Planet Earth ( No..Dont go too statistical here and ask me the equations).Elated to see just 80. Desperately wanted to decrease the 10's place by 1. After a month of stressing and straining, pressing and training; huffing and puffing I mounted the weighing machine.. As the whole of the gym is watching with bated breath ( it should rekindle the Lagaan climax if at all you ever watched movies), the needle starts its long journey from zero. It travelled. It travelled and well, now I can imagine you guys accelerating your respiratory function. Ladies and gentlemen, dont go further, you are already at the edge of your seat; it came to a screeching halt at 80.5. I got down. I got down slowly. I did not look at Bhikshapathi ( trainer). I did not even look at the enticing Namitha photograph ( she came for the opening of gym, and one day when I am training) holding scissors for ribbon-cutting. I did not ever look back.We were in March 2005.

One year down the line, the 0 and 5 in 80.5 Kg shifted positions. Phew, in late March 2006 I was at my career-best 85. Can you believe that, so close to 100. Just a stone-throw 15 away. Feels like GOD; But the 7-seater drivers and passengers plying in and around Gachibowli/Kondapur will not share the same feelings. Had they been active in Orkut, they would have ceratainly created a 'We severely/sincerely hate Sopeti' community. ( Did I just give you a plan here ?) Wait. Coming back to Weight matters, me thought, what if I try again.My chief target was not to reduce my weight but atleast keep it stable. Keep it away from reaching those astronomical numbers which you only see during Indian census or When Australia is setting a target to Team India. Readers, I am delighted to say that, after 75 days of sweating out at Infy gym; I am at a brute err... cute 83. Next post on this topic would be when I hit 79.something. You are safe for some time to come.
