Today is my 6th wedding anniversary

Dear lovers of rice and curry and my dear lovers of Fish and Chips did you ever think that the twain shall meet and exchange vows from the land of King Fisher to the land of Guiness Beer or posh Baily’s Liquer well they did, From the Land of Indian Bhangra of Bolly Hood, to the Waltz of BBC. My dear, dear friends in this 21st century when going from the land of East to settle in the Land of West is like jumping on a bus to a new adventure.

Yes I the Indian Aunty was quite adventurous and landed myself in Northern Ireland I knew nothing of the country or culture I had not even tried fish and chips and then this wonderful Irish man came into my life and we exchanged not only vows but foods and I loving cooking cooked rice and curries and he loving me bought fish and chips and before we knew it we looked chocolate and vanilla cupcakes walking hand in hand.

But then my vanilla cupcake decided to shed the pounds and now is a handsome dude while the chocolate cupcake being me is shedding the pounds slowly. My dear friends then we went on holiday for a week and I have put on 4 pounds but I am working on it. This week the Indian aunty is going wobbling I mean walking and hopefully I can get there size 8 by the 18th of November.

Eating is a pleasure but one must not get too carried away by it one must think is that really necessary so my dear munchkins my dear sweetypies as we say in India we can shift this weight I do not want to wobble like a duck I want to swim gracefully like a swan.

So dear munchkins next week I will tell you the result of my weightloss and I want to be a size 8 again and be an inspiration.  Eat wisely and excerise and let me know how you do .We can not be Victoria Secret Models but we can be that coveted yummy aunty I am not referring to the chocolate cupcake with icing being make up but we be chic  and healthy.

So dear sweetypies let us do it and prove to the world we are gorgeous inside and outside.Grrrrrr lets get dieting and look our best.

People say I am comfortable in my skin are we really I feel like a BIG BROWN COCONUT brown on the outside and white inside I am Indian born to Indian Parents But I think in English and write in English and am comfortable both in India and UK. I also am an Indian British Citizen if that does not complicate matters this brown coconut is over weight so time to shed this baggage of fat and become a slender coconut tree.

So Good Bye talk to you next week

Love

My weightloss journey

Hi I am tracking my weight every week. I am the Indian aunty who is shedding the the rice and curry pounds.  I am happy to announce that in five days I have lost 2.5 pounds of weight. I am 165.2 pounds. Every pound lost is a blessing. I hope to be a size 12 by the end of May and get back to my pre- pregnancy weight. As an Indian aunty living in Northern Ireland and married to an Irish man I have adapted to the Irish culture especially the Irish food.

As my husband loves Chicken curry and rice I love fish and chips.Now you can also get curry chips how Indo- Irish can one get. I try to eat smaller portions and  go out for walks when ever I can. I do not have a specific plan except to lose this weight by my 35th birthday and wear the clothes I would like to wear.

I wish all my fellow dieters all the best. We can do it and hope by God’s grace , determination and will power we can lose this excess flab and move on to fab. So here is me signing of Wishing my fellow dieters all the best.

From the Indian Aunty in Northern Ireland
