I was always active earlier, but during the lockdown, all that activity was gone for toss. And then I gained a lot of weight courtesy to the great food that I used to eat and overeat more than that. And apart from that, snacking and working from home, no interaction, social interaction kind of played on my mind. And with the work stress, it added up and I started gaining excess weight and just continued the journey. Continued. So that's when I got in touch with Arvind. One of my friends introduced to him where he also went through a good transformation. And I loved the way the whole journey was for him and the experience was what he introduced. And then I spoke to Arvind. I told him that my goal was to become fit. Back to routine. And also during that year when the lockdown was just easing up, I had a challenge to take on, which is I had to go for my trek. I love doing outdoor treks and I was absolutely not confident of being able to achieve it. That is when Arvind said, it's not a problem, we can achieve it together, all that. Is needed is confidence, plus you believe in yourself, and the 6 habits, which definitely helped me. And these 6 habits have become part of my life now, and I've been practicing this since a year now. And over this entire year, I lost— without even realizing where weight loss was not my goal— I lost close to 10 kilos of weight. And as Arvind introduced, right? So I fit better in a lot of clothes now. I don't need to go check the XL racks, so which is good. And the flip side to it is, yeah, I mean, it is also difficult to find good stuff if you're not early to the stores, right? So that means there are a lot of people who are fit or fitter than us. I think that is what should motivate us to be there and then, you know, look better always. And you don't have to show it to the world. You have to feel yourself and you look better for yourself. That should be the aim. I think this program is absolutely great.
