I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Again.
I wanted to pinch out the skin poking out from my tummy, I hated it. I poked hard and felt the two abs I had worked hard on all summer. And looking at me, you would never guess how much protein I ingest and how hard I worked out and how heavy I lift.
My loose skin was my Everest.
I decided to document it in a video HERE.
How being strong and healthy and finally in the correct weight and BMI and BMR and every possible scale does not mean you look like it.
I would wear tight clothes and see a roll seep out. How I hated my loose skin.
So, I went to my trainer. He is the best trainer ever and if you are ever in Delhi, hit me up and I will direct you to him.
We discussed ways to tackle my loose skin and he was at a loss. We experimented with many strengthening creams and lotions and I started wearing a waist trainer as I went back home to London, all in the hopes of seeing my ab definition, if ever!
Every night, I had the same routine and every time I just felt NOTHING.
I understood the limitations of my body post losing almost 100 pounds.
I would never have the perfect body! I had taken my body for a ride and had ignored it so much that I should be happy with whatever I got.
I accepted my fate.
But something in me did not.
Fast Forward one year and I was shopping at Calvin Klein store in New York. A dream come true right?
Ever since I could remember myself, I would buy the cheapest pair of jeans possible in stretchy material and then wrestle with it in the trial room and cover it up with long tops. So, I was delirious as I entered Calvin Klein stores and did nit get stared at but was suddenly offered size 4 and size 6 jeans to try!.
A single digit size!!!
Now, technically, I am a size 2, but we are not talking numbers here. In my happiest body moment, my loose skin hit me hard again and I had to buy a size 8 pair because the loose skin on my thighs would not let me inside a size 6.
That night, as it rained outside my window, I went back to my roots. And it jumped at me.
Dermatologists speak so much about Vit E and I had tried all possible creams and lotions and I was wary.
But which naturally occurring thing has more Vit E than anything?
Coconut!!
I got me some virgin coconut oil added in sugar granules and every night massaged my whole body with it.
I remembered how my yoga guru would tell us to always massage the body with oil before taking a warm bath and I did that. Every single day.
And the results?
Let’ s just look at my amazing definition in THIS VIDEO right here.
Speaks for itself doesn’t it?
