A True Friend
He helps me realize what I am, day in and day out
Is never tired of me..
Waits for me every morning..
Never lies to me and always speaks the truth
He sometimes cheers me and sometimes surprises me
But always speaks out his mind.
Oh! If not for him I would not have reached my intended milestones
When I get carried away he is the first
Who brings me back to reality!!
Any guesses whom am I addressing here.. I don't think you can in your wildest dreams but I must say this is my ode to my bestest pal in recent times. So what if he is inanimate.
Its been close to 3 years now and I have found that this inanimate friend of mine is better than the best fitness expert.. I am referring to my weighing machine :)
People ask me how I managed to lose so much of weight.. Did I Gym? Aerobics? Some strange diet?
The answer is a big no!! I just ensured I checked my weight every morning. You may think that this is crazy but it is true checking your weight everyday helps you realize what it is that you may be doing wrong (read over eating) to spoil your weight loss.
I remember Oprah telling on her show that it is best for you to check your weight every week at least to keep a tab on it. But I must say everyday is even better. Almost 3 years on and I have managed to lose close to 15 pounds if not more.
I remember when I was in US for this short period of time I found it very difficult because I didn't have a weighing machine with me. This hotel had a gym but without a weighing machine!! I enquired. The guy at the reception gave me this strange look.
What do you need it for?
I was like what?? Why is he asking me this question??
Then he said he needs to talk to his Manager. I said okay. That evening I happened to see the Manager and I kind of requested him that I need to keep checking my weight and I would be obliged if he could help me.
Then he told me this strange stories that they stop working after a few days of keeping them in the gym. They found that "we" Indians use it to check the weight of the luggage when we travel back to India.
I convinced him that I do not have any such intentions and he agreed :)
So much for my love for weighing machines!! So anyone out there who wants to lose weight get hold of one of these and check out your weight loss "work out"!!
