Why I decided to Transform my body
I gained a lot of weight after having a baby. Everybody -my Family, my Friends used to say that I can’t get my figure back. It was really demotivating.
My heart lifted and my mind started to grasp the fact that my fate had yet to be sealed and that I could make a difference. I had confidence and faith in myself. I never gave up even though i have to take care of my house, family and specially the little kid. I never gave up though it took good time to control myself. It was clear in mind that slowly and steadily I can win upon the situation. Not only I did get my body back but I am feeling healthy and fit and can contribute much towards my family and yeah myself too …
How I Accomplished My Goals (How I lost 30 kgs)
Clean eating, regular exercise, self control and discipline it all worked like wonders!!!!
Dieting requires the most change and discipline. I reduced my sweets and junk food intake and went to gym at least 4-5 times a week.
I’ve come to live by the three D’s: Diligence, Discipline, and Determination.
I started this journey with little patience. Quitting was never an option. I wanted to inspire other moms and show them that having kids doesn’t mean your own fitness goals disappear. Sure, there were long nights awake with the babies, long days with kid, husband, home, and a part-time job. When things got overwhelming, I took an extra rest day and refocused my thoughts.
I find my motivation from my faith and my family. My faith helps me to find balance and strength, and my family inspires me to keep pushing harder. I’ve come to live by the three D’s: Diligence, Discipline, and Determination.

What Aspect Challenged Me The Most
I think the most challenging aspect was dieting. I loved being in the gym, but changing my eating habits was difficult. My diet was fairly flexible, but being around people who were eating cake, pizza, and chocolates was always tough.
I took it a day at a time and looked at each day as a new opportunity to succeed! The key to success is to just keep going, as this will ensure you eventually get to the finish line.
“THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS TO JUST KEEP GOING, AS THIS WILL ENSURE YOU EVENTUALLY GET TO THE FINISH LINE.”
Not only I got my figure back but also I am feeling healthy and fit and can contribute more towards my family and yeah myself too …Seriously, you can do anything that you put your mind in to!
