According to NFHS
survey, obesity among women in cities in India stands at 40.7% in Kolkata, 34%
in Mumbai, 33.6% in Chennai and 33.4% in Bengaluru. In fact, women in all five
top Indian cities (except Kolkata) were obese when compared to men, making weight
gain a trend among the fairer sex.
Though various factors
may contribute to as to why one is obese in India it is sometimes confusing to
find a solution to it particularly for Indian women whether she is a housewife
or working lady. Due to household chores and responsibilities, childcare and
for some even handling offices can be cumbersome enough not to motivate them
for exercise. Eating junk, finding solutions in quick and easy preservative
contained food items, easily available packed snacks, beverages and food
outlets have made women in India today gobble extra calories without even
realization.
Is surgery the only
solution or going to VLCC and throwing yourself to machines the answer?? The
answer is No.
This blog is to educate,
bring awareness and also discuss about various psychological and health issues
that leads to obesity in us. Also this blog intends to solely focus on Indian
women lifestyle, eating habits, stress and strain of work (Those who work in
IT) and more factors leading to obesity.
Whether a teenage girl
studying all day long or a married women tackling responsibility of both in and
out of the house have the stamina and courage to bring a change. Good figured
female figures are not subjected to media and films alone it can be a reality
to common Indian women and girls too.
All we need is a helping
hand enlightening a path on which she just needs to walk and fulfil her dreams.
Let’s take the first
step by pledging “that we would be honest to ourselves”, “we will accept what
we are now “and “we will try before giving up”.
“It’s a journey of a
warrior on which only courageous will walk losers can only talk”
