My Diabetes Story
My diagnosis came unexpectedly. After COVID, a routine full-body check-up revealed shocking numbers HbA1c at 10.2 and fasting sugar above 200. A repeat test confirmed the same.
There was no family history of diabetes. Yet suddenly, I was labeled diabetic.
Alongside this, my weight had reached 147 kg. I felt lazy throughout the day, avoided movement, struggled to play with my daughter, and endured constant social remarks about my body.
Clothes had to be custom-stitched. Holidays meant sitting on a chair while others explored freely.

The real turning point came when a hospital doctor suggested bariatric surgery and warned that without drastic action, I risked heart attack, cancer, or being bedridden within a few years.
That day, I decided I would fix this but without surgery.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
I explored everything Ayurveda, keto, crash diets, dietitians, gym trainers, personal coaches.
Weight would drop slightly and then bounce back. Motivation always collapsed when progress stalled.

When I attended Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s introductory FFD session, something felt different. There were no shortcuts, no exaggerated promises, only science, structure, and clarity.
One line stayed with me: “We will give 100%. You must give your 100%.”
That honesty convinced me. I took six months to decide, then invested in FFD quietly, without informing extended family or friends. I chose to trust the process over opinions.

Athletic Identity
Earlier, walking a short distance would leave me breathless.
Today, movement is a part of who I am. I run regularly and maintain a weekly mileage of 40–60 km.
On long-run days, I comfortably complete distances of 25–32 km.

I have completed multiple half-marathons and am now preparing myself mentally and physically to complete a full marathon.
Along with running, I also practice strength training and occasional cycling. Exercise is no longer punishment, it is my stress release.

Inner Transformation Journey
Beyond food and exercise, inner work became a crucial pillar of my transformation.
Over the past three years with FFD, I worked closely with the psychology team through one-on-one sessions, journaling consistently for 56 days, building vision boards, and practicing deep self-reflection.
This helped me break years of frustration, self-doubt, and emotional eating patterns.

Until recently, I had never attended the HTP program. Somewhere inside, I felt I wasn’t the right person or that the time wasn’t right.
Everything changed after I became part of the Legends group.
The involvement, affection, and love from every single member touched me deeply.
That bond motivated me to finally come and meet everyone in person, especially Dr. Malhar, Dr. Pramod Tripathi, and the people I interacted with so regularly.

Coming to Pune itself was a beautiful experience. The two days we spent together were filled with learning, fun, laughter, and deep inner clarity.
Despite the hours of knowledge and wisdom shared, the environment remained light, joyful, and full of warmth. Meeting everyone in person made the experience even more meaningful.

One moment that stood out profoundly was Mukut itself. I was treated as a guest of honor and given a special privilege.
Never in my life had I received such importance and respect. That experience elevated my emotions to another level, and I remain deeply grateful for that love and recognition.

I know one thing for sure now I can never miss this again.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I have been following OMAD consistently for over two years. My weight remains stable, energy levels high, and discipline natural.
On holidays, I explore cities on foot, run early mornings, and carry my daughter comfortably for hours, something that once felt impossible.
The biggest change is not just physical. I regained confidence. Social acceptance improved.
People now see discipline where they once saw limitations.
