“Walk on the path of health & Fitness. Even if the road is lonely” – Delna Pooniwala.
Every time I feel I have put on weight or a few inches, It seems my parents see me through a shrinking lens. They would forever feel I am losing weight, looking pathetically thin and should load myself with traditional “Margi na Farcha and parsee cutlets”. At gym, when I discuss myself with ladies, they shut me up saying I am ‘perfect’ and should not bother.
And there I find myself lonely on my road to fitness, to achieve a daily goal that only I can see.
Most times in life people would not understand you or your goal or struggle and it is a rather lonely path. It gets especially tough when ladies want to stay on track with their own diet regime but need to cook for family and feed the baby or when you socialise a lot. Temptations are many and it is serious self control that fructifies into success.
So walk on and don’t look back or wait for anyone to accompany you. Finally it’s your health & Fitness and you are the only one responsible for it.
