Weight right there!

I've been having attacks of horror every morning lately.. When I look into the mirror, Pillsbury Doughboy looks back at me. Sure, Doughboy's cute and all that, but you do not want to be him, do you? It was only inevitable that I blog about this, since all my possible statuses everywhere (gmail, Facebook, and the likes) are saturated with this erm.. fear.

Anyway, I've been struggling with weight issues from a long time now, but I just keep pacifying myself with the fact that I have lost 7 kilos in 2 months, but that was last year, and trust me I have come a long (fat) way since. Somehow, after I got married, it has become extremely difficult to find that iron will to diet! This city doesn't make it any easier either..

My only hope is if I push myself to swim like there's no tomorrow. But on the other hand, if I overdo it, there really might be no tomorrow. I am starved for company in my fitness regime, so Prasad tried to motivate me last evening thus:
'Don't you go to your office alone? Don't you shower alone? Don't you (yadayadayada for 5 minutes) alone? What and who is there to be shy of at the gym pool? So many fat women swim there alone!'
Well, this spirited speech actually succeeded in making me realise how alone I am more than anything else!

I am going to make a mighty effort towards this swimming in the pool alone business.. In fact, I am going to treat it like it actually is some Business! I suspect I might get over the embarrassment once I gather enough stamina to stop behaving like a fish-out-of-water equivalent while I'm at it! I must wish myself luck now..
