I grew up as the kid who faced relentless bullying and body-shaming in school due to being overweight. By the me I turned 30, I had two children through C-secons, gaining around 40-45 kgs during both pregnancies. Going from size XS to XL was a bewildering experience. As my kids grew, I found myself stuck in a monotonous roune, struggling with depression and withdrawing from life for 1.5 years.
A turning point came when a friend insisted I join Zumba sessions. This ignited a passion for physical exercise, evolving from three days of Zumba to six days of weight lifting organically. Despite Diastasis Rectii from excessive pregnancy weight gain hindering my progress, a major surgery in 2018 became a catalyst for change.
As I delved into the gym, glimpses of my dream body emerged, boosng my confidence and gradually liing me out of depression. However, my goal of achieving “six-pack abs” remained distant. In 2020, I sought guidance from Sir Nadir Siddiquee at FITTR for diet and overall support.
His profound understanding of the science behind diet, macro tracking, and overall guidance worked wonders. Today, at 40, I stand with my dream body -a result of three years of unwavering dedication.
