The Weight Has Gone Up Too Much, I Need to Lose It – Otherwise, What's the Point of Earning Money?

Hello friends,

I’ve been quite overweight since childhood.

My weight started increasing in 3rd or 4th grade because of junk food, and by the time I reached 8th grade, I weighed 100 kg.

Obviously, my parents tried to control my weight using Ayurvedic medicines, but nothing worked.

Then I tried to lose weight through the gym, but as long as I kept going, I would lose weight, and the moment I stopped, it would come back.

This happened 3-4 times with me.

When I took a drop year for my IIT-JEE preparation in 2011–2012, my weight went up to 127 kg, and I began experiencing breathlessness and heart palpitations.

After that, I started walking and controlling my diet, managing to bring my weight down to 112 kg in 6 months.

Later, when I stopped going to the gym, my weight didn’t increase much because that time I had lost weight through weight training, not just cardio.

Then I went for the Triund trek, but I had to turn back halfway because I didn’t have enough stamina to climb the whole mountain!

That incident really hurt me, and I began training again—5–6 km daily walks and a proper diet brought my weight down to around 105 kg in 6 months.

When I started my job, I wanted to have a girlfriend because that felt like the one thing missing in my life. So, I improved both my exercise and diet, and my weight dropped to 95 kg.

Later, I had a fight with a friend (a potential girlfriend), and I was heartbroken. I began smoking heavily.

Now, smoking has a double effect on weight loss: it suppresses appetite and keeps the heart rate elevated.

I started smoking 12–13 cigarettes a day, and in 6 months, my weight dropped to 77 kg.

The whole world was shocked!

Then, in 2019, I got married. After that, I started eating more and significantly reduced smoking.

During the COVID lockdown, I was at home, smoking almost stopped, and food intake—especially junk food—doubled.

As a result, my weight shot up.

In 2020, I weighed 90 kg.
And now, in 2025, my weight is 133.5 kg.

Surprisingly, this time I have a decent amount of muscle mass and no major health issues, except for plantar fasciitis. I experience severe heel pain when I walk.

So now I have to lose weight—not for anyone else, just for myself—because I have so much to achieve in life. I want to become an entrepreneur, and without good health, how can I make that happen?

Isn’t that right!?
