Having overcome the biggest hurdle to obtain my masters degree I have now turned my focus to my deepest passion.
Dance.
However I am, at the moment, massively obese.
About 50 kgs heavier then I was in this post.
Not forgetting my injury which further contributed to my weight gain.
How would one lose weight?
Why, by exercising of course!
I have taken to swimming, against all my better judgement, knowing very well that I'd look horrendous in a swimming trunk because I don't have much of a choice.
Swimming is high resistance, low impact exercising; perfect for both my weight and my knees.
There is another aspect to losing weight; diet.

I can only take a small nibble of laddoo. Too rich!
Then you are eating a properly made laddoo! Unless you have a sweet tooth, one can only digest a nibble or two. However, if you manage to get your hands on some home made ones, you could eat a whole laddoo. Home made ones wouldn't be as sweet, as laden with ghee or as rich but if prepared well, they'd certainly be delicious!
U are longing to be kicked arent u?? *muka bengis*
