I wish my Life was a Dream

“I wish my life was a dream and if it is I want to wake up from its ASAP.”

Every day I see myself in a mirror with a body weighing 102 kg, a fat tummy and a chubby face. I sweat like a waterfall and smell like poison which is killing me each day, all thanks to that fat I am covered with.

It is easy to target one big idiot than a group of an idiot and in my office, I was that idiot. Like some big and ugly animal in the zoo whom people tease and make fun of whenever they want.

People tease me behind my back, commenting on my personality, hundreds of eyes staring at me with big smiles on their faces. Whispering all the time and telling me that you are fat & unhealthy just go somewhere else.

I hear that all the time and try to make myself hidden from those but I can’t hide, this big fat body invites everyone to tease and make fun of me.

I was never appreciated for my work no matter how hard I work. I was always judged on my personality and my fat appearance. I was never allowed to attend the important meeting thinking that I will spoil them.

Nobody wants to talk with me, nobody wants to sit with me, nobody wants to share lunch with me. Nobody ever cares about what I am suffering.

Some understand my situation like my best friends and family. -They are the only ones with whom I can share my feelings and exchange thoughts.

But now I am done with people staring at me, people teasing me behind my back, people whispering about me all the time. Now I decide to change myself, it’s time to step up from my shadow and become light.

The day of fear and hiding are gone. Crying in that shower and complaining about my fat body all the time isn’t gonna help me.

This is not a dream; this is reality and I have to change it for the sake of myself.

It’s time to believe in myself and change the way I am now. I made a promise to myself that I will become fat to fit.

Here I am in the valley of despair, hunting for the right diet, exercise and meditation program that suits me and helps me to relax my mind.

I wake up at 6 in the morning and struggle with yoga because I don’t know the proper forms of doing it. Not able to concentrate while meditation because my mind is full of confusion.

After returning home, I hit the gym to do some strength training and struggle over there also because I don’t know which exercise I should do first. I perform the exercise that I know a little but I end up doing that wrong. Everyone in the gym stares at me with those same eyes again.

It took me 30 min to get here and all I was doing is making fun of me again. that sucks!

I came home, sit on my sofa with a water bottle and drink it all and calm myself. I overview my day’s performance which worries me a lot because I do everything wrong… completely wrong.

The more I think the more nervous and self-doubt I get. Make me feel worried about the promise I made to myself. I was in a state of depression, verge of crying, and suddenly the doorbell rang.

I wash my face and open the door. It was jimmy my best friend. — I hide my crying face but he finds out that something is wrong. -So he asks me directly. What happened? I am not able to resist it and tell everything to jimmy that what is happening in my life. Jimmy understands everything and assures me that he will come up with a solution. By hearing this word from jimmy I got confidence and motivation.

Two days after jimmy call me with a solution. He advised me that I should buy a Tonal mirror ( home gym mirror).

Following my best friend’s advice, I go ahead and buy that mirror. It was a little expensive but their payment plan was so good and affordable that I buy it.

Tonal mirror changed my whole life.

For the next 6 months, I perform each exercise and yoga that tonal suggests to me. Tonal suggest programs and workout that are best suited for me. Following a multi-week program is the quickest and most efficient way to reach my goals. Plus it provides me with a diet that suits my weight and helps me see the result quickly.

Now the present me,

When I see myself in the mirror I see a person who accomplished all the tasks and promises that he once makes to himself.

These 6 pack abs, jawline, mental health and confidence are the proof of that hard work.

Those who tease me behind my back are the ones who ask me for health advice. Now everybody looks at me not because I am fat but because I look attractive. Some people get jealous of the personality I have.

I am the one who hosts all the meetings in my office and nailed it because of my confidence.

I am the role model for everyone in my office.

That one promise and decision of buying a tonal mirror changed my whole life……
