There was a time I couldn’t stand the person I saw in the mirror. At over 80 kgs with a BMI of 30, I was 20 kgs overweight, feeling unconfident, ashamed, and lost. Every glance reminded me of the emotional weight I carried. Buying clothes felt like a punishment, and deep down, I hated who I was becoming. The struggle wasn’t just physical. A prediabetic diagnosis loomed over me, fueling chronic anxiety, sleepless nights, and panic attacks. Thoughts of suicide crept in as I battled low self-worth and a life devoid of purpose. I was stuck in a loop of negative self-talk and unhealthy habits, following a script society wrote: finish school, land a high-paying job, and be the “good boy.” My career as an actuary looked impressive but left me feeling empty. Between 2016 and 2020, I dabbled in self-improvement, listening to podcasts by Jay Shetty and Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and reading sporadically. These planted seeds, but real change didn’t happen until late 2019, when I realized most of my beliefs and decisions were shaped unconsciously by societal expectations. I was living on autopilot. In 2020, I finally listened to the voice in my head: “You need to lose weight and reclaim your health.” This wasn’t just about fitness—it was about tackling mental and emotional barriers. The mirror became my wake-up call. I started intermittent fasting, beginning with 12-hour fasts and gradually extending to 23-hour fasts. Consistency became my mantra. Instead of chasing instant results, I focused on the process. Home workouts like climbing stairs and pullups became my routine, even during lockdowns. By November 2020, I had dropped over 20 kgs, going from 80+ kgs to 60 kgs in nine months. But the transformation went beyond my body. My panic attacks subsided, sleep improved, and I rediscovered purpose. The journey taught me self-respect, confidence, and the courage to forge my own path. This wasn’t about a magic diet or quick fix. It was about reclaiming control and breaking free from autopilot. Today, I help others navigate health and mindset transformations. I know what it’s like to feel lost. But with the right tools, consistency, and support, it’s possible to turn things around. If you see yourself in my story—struggling with health challenges or questioning your purpose—you’re not alone. Let’s turn your struggles into strength and build a future you’re proud of.
