My Health 2015: Fill & Download for Free

The picture below on the left was taken in 1979 when I was 22 years old. The picture on the right side was taken in 2017 when I was 60.I do work out 5 or 6 times a week: cardio, push-ups, pull-ups, Cybex machines, anchor ropes, etc. I also do a lot of road and mountain biking, depending on the time of year and the weather (I tend to be a fair weather cyclist). I also play racquetball whenever I can as well.Overall, my health is great. I don’t follow a strict diet, but I don’t drink sugary stuff and rarely drink alcohol. I try to get at least 6 hours of sleep a night.I should also mention that I had a hip replacement in 2015, when I was 58. Here’s a few pictures from that time period.I can honestly say that for the most part I can’t even tell I had my hip replaced, except that it doesn’t hurt all the time like it used to. I do lots of stretching and I can almost do full hurdler splits now. I may wear it out some day, but until then I’m going to keep having fun and training like a division I college athlete.

In short? Nope. I have never been, but read how I treated my body over the years and you will understand the value of loving yourself and how petty someone else's opinion is on this matter. Be healthy, don’t take shortcuts to reach bodily goals or set unrealistic standards for yourself.I had Thyroid problem from very young age which made me chubby from very young age, top that with dark skin and Jharkhand stereotypes of being pretty, it was tough for me to believe in myself and feel beautiful.These pictures are from my High School Farewell, I was confused, shy and scared of what will happen next to me and I was not able to be confident about my future or even the dress I was carrying for that matter.(2014) Weight: 132 KgMy one roommate was extraordinarily slim and tall, another one was fair, and from there, my self-esteem kept getting lower and it went to a point where I stopped eating food at all and ended up losing my weight, my grades, and my health.(2015)Weight: 67 KgFinally, I was able to strike a balance; my family made me give up my habit of not eating food, and I ended up gaining 12 Kgs in 4 months. I ended up having a severe infection in my stomach because of the little gig I played around losing weight, and it cost massive medical bills. I started enjoying food, life, glowing and was confident.(2016) Weight: 79 KgI don't have pictures of my breaking up time, but I turned into stress eater and ended up gaining 27 kgs because I turned into a couch potato, ate greasy food and refuse to work out.(2017 ) Weight: 90 KgRight now? It is April 2018; I'm at 89 Kgs (Still an obese) but mentally and physically at a better place. Why? Because I realized Confidence is the key, not societal standards, I realized the body is a temple, and it needs love and attention too.What's next? Reach 75 Kgs without leaving food behind.

JEE 2015.I scored well. I expected more but it was still a good score.I was that guy who never wanted to get into a NIT.“IIT ONLY”I was hoping to perform well in JEE advance. I screwed the answer sheet, did some mistakes and I got a very bad rank.I was getting NIT Warangal and NIT allahabad too. Still I wanted to drop a year for IIT.I gave a test for FIITJEE. I got the scholarship and I went to delhi to take admission in it.My parents didn't want me to drop a year but the rest of the family, relatives, etc. wanted IIT only.Few days before the deadline of JEE Mains counseling, I came back from Delhi andI decided to take admission in NIT.My “I will do what I want” momentWhy did I do this?I had doubts in my mind and I couldn't risk my health for a mere conversion of “N” from NIT into an “I” of IIT. (I was not stable mentally).I am happy as ever. My life has changed miraculously.What did I get?^This awesome group of friends.^ Exposure to a BIG stage.^ Happiness^ Peace:)
