CR8IVE

Been a heavy weight all my life. Faced a lot of obstacles, pain and sufferings. Fought my way through, and held my head high, despite the fact that I was mentally crushed every single time. Post schooling, I decided at some point in time that I should listen to my family and get some Nature Cure treatment. Succesfully lost 20 kgs in a month. Though that was quite a record breaking effort, didn't last long. in a few months I got back to square one. Made some good friends along the way.

Thanks to some of those buddies I began my career in advertising. Learnt to survive on my own terms, but that didn't change much of my eating habbits. In a couple of years, I took up basketball. Though I didn't loose much body mass, I maintained the flab around. Time passed, so did the years.

At one point in time, I went through a heavy loss. And my family helped me overcome that sorrow over a period of time. Devoted the rest of my life towards my goals and achievements (none of which had anything to do with my weight). Over the years, I was fortunate to meet the woman of my life. The one person who spinned the whole diet concept in my head.

My wife being a vegan, I began a partial vegan diet, and she slowly steered my diet to a more controlled, healthier lifestyle. Vegan was never my thing, but I tried to like it every way possible. My wife took great pains to prepare food to my liking. I fought my innerself, every single day. But the partial vegan diet was not helping much, because of my addiction issues. I was suffering from OCD - Obssesive Carbaddiction Disorder. Funny as it sounds, yes, I just couldn't keep my hands off simple silly carb food like breads, pitta bread, cakes and pasteries. Not much of a sugar craving person though I never refused any.
