There was a time, whenever I used to look in mirror I used to be ashamed of myself. A big fat 95 kg guy who had no self-confidence in him. I have been an introvert all my life. Used to be ashamed of myself. Then came a day which shook me internally. While walking on the road I felt sudden pain in my chest and the pain was unbearable. Soon I met the doctor who suggested me few tests. The reports were out and I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and cholesterol that too at an early age of 23. This shook me literally. That was the day when I decided to change myself.

This wasn’t an easy journey for me. Right from people fat shaming me in gym to the mental trauma I used to face while eating the diet food. Still with the inner confidence and determination I walked on the path consistently. There were times when I could see no result on my body despite the tremendous efforts put.  Mind constantly used to say to back out. Still the motivation to change myself kept the fire burning in me. After few months I could start experiencing the result and also the people around me could see the changes in me .The weight scale was going down gradually and the clothes were getting loose. I was more motivated than before . Even my medical problems  were reduced to greater extent. After  8 months I lost around 20 kg and  I could actually see a new person in me. A new Jatin was born which was altogether different from the previous one. I was more confident and full of energy. I started feeling a big amount of confidence in me.

This journey of fat to fit  taught me to never give me despite facing many hindrances . A time will come when the change will definitely occur due to our serious hard efforts. Also it taught me the importance of fitness in life. Even the world around respects fit people. I was called as a Motivational Speaker at Reliance, the company where I work to share my  journey experience with the people. I even inspired the people around me, in my working team and motivated them to walk on the path of fitness .My team was awarded the fittest team at Reliance Corporate Park. Today i fell proud seeing myself in mirror. Nothing is impossible to achieve you just need to have faith in yourself.
