for the last few years… i’ve been having 2 addictions… would not exactly call them addictions but they’re habits which i’d like to get rid of, one for my own well being and the other one, to save others, a visual displeasure… first, the cancer stick… a habit that i picked up in college refuses to let go of me… i’ve ‘quit smoking’ umpteen number of times… my friends have tried making me quit… they’ve drenched entire packs, broken cigs into half, literally dragged me away from the paan or the corner ‘petti angadi’… but many times i’ve beat them… will have cigarettes stashed away on in one of my pockets… anyways, overtime, i’ve begun to consciously reduce my tobacco diet… began with reducing it to 2-3 a day… just before i enter office, and one just after office… and later, changed it to alternate days… and finally after a few weeks, for a couple of weeks, i was able to abstain during the entire week and puff only on the weekends… that too when i met friends at our adda… but who was i kidding… i broke down… i smoked a couple during the week… once without anyone else finding out and once when a friend was there, reasoning it as a ‘friday evening’ and hence weekend 😀 so… from this day 17/12/07 onwards, i’m making a conscious effort to stick to my resolution of smoke free weekdays second, the more common one… being in shape… when God made me, he must have been in a devious mood… he’d have called all his friends over and said, "I’ll have some fun with this guy… i’ll give him a never ending love for food but a metabolism that will make sure that all this food shows up around the mid part of his body" and this curse has been dogging me ever since… i try and Gym as often as possible… though i’m not as dedicated, i try and do a fair amount of gymming… but my love for junk food coupled with ‘mother’s love’ ensures that i put on twice the amount of fat that i burn… everyday!! hence, starting today, another of my resolutions is to give up my excessive eating habits… try and make a conscious effort to cut down on one of my biggest calorie intake… beer (i’m almost crying thinking about this) and try and look visually presentable… If Adnan Sami could do it… i can too!! i think i should put his before and after pics as my wallpaper to stop me from eating more food 🙂
