For nutritionist Namita Satheesh, losing 20 kg changed the way she dressed, socialised, travelled and viewed her relationship with food. Losing weight can bring changes that go beyond the number on the weighing scale.
Instead of choosing outfits to hide her body, she began wearing clothes that made her feel good. “I started liking how I looked. Travel also became a different experience for Namita. For Namita, the transformation was not only physical. She also spoke about developing a healthier relationship with food. “I healed my relationship with food. These days I rarely emotionally eat,” she wrote. Her reflections highlight how a weight-loss journey can involve changes in confidence, physical activity, social life and one’s relationship with food, rather than being limited to changes in body weight alone.
I hardly have any pics from when I was 80 kg,” she wrote.
Namita said one of the biggest changes was how she approached clothing. She described herself as having gone from being “super shy” to making friends while travelling.
