My Story
I struggled with my weight and my health. At my heaviest, I weighed 128 kg. "I had done every practical thing for weight loss,"
I recall. "Nothing worked." Disheartened, I even went to an ashram in Rishikesh, Hoping yoga might help. I shed a few kilos, but it wasn't enough.
My weight gain stemmed from a complex mix of causes; I wasn't always obese. "It started after my twin pregnancy. I was on a lot of medications.
Then came early menopause. All of this together made the weight keep piling on. My knees hurt, and I was breathless and tired all the time.
As a makeup artist, I have to stand for hours, in uncomfortable postures. It all became unbearable."
How did FFD happen?
My mother-in-law suggested Freedom from Diabetes (FFD). I told her, "Mummy, FFD is for diabetes, I don't have that." She insisted, "No, they help with obesity too—just try."
Exhausted, I agreed. Before joining, a blood test revealed an eye-opening truth: I had diabetes or prediabetes.
With no family history, I knew it was all due to my weight.
Reversal Story
At 120 kg, I started FFD with a target of 102 kg. I didn't just meet it; I surpassed it, Reaching 98 kg,
For a total loss of 22.5 kg within FFD and over 30 kg overall.
"It felt like I had achieved the universe!" I exclaimed, Being the highest loser in my batch.
My Inner Transformation journey, especially with Paramita madam, Was profound. In our first session, I sobbed uncontrollably.
She simply held space, allowing me to speak about my entire life without judgment, and gently provided tools for clarity.
The second session peeled back layers of limiting beliefs. The final session taught me how to love myself—Something I had never truly learned.
I emerged feeling light, clear, and relaxed. For the first time, I am my priority. I now choose alignment over sacrifice, Realizing constant compromise only leads to suffering.
Sharing my most intimate experiences with Paramita felt incredibly safe; I felt seen and began to heal. Dr. Tripathi once asked us to write about our painful pasts, but thanks to Paramita, I couldn't find anything to write.
I've reached a place of peace, strength, and self-love. This journey, and Paramita's guidance, has been one of life's greatest gifts.
My transformation didn't happen in isolation; it became a family affair. My entire family joined FFD because of my mother in law Neerja Thakur. She was in an early batch.
Eventually, My husband, Navin, and sister-in-law, Neha, joined too. We all wanted health to be our family motto.
My husband's transformation was equally inspiring—he lost 25 kg in total, 20 of those through FFD. "His story was even featured online."
My goal now is to go to the FFD event Muktotsav in December and take a medal from Dr. Tripathi himself.
