When Rohan Sharma, a 29-year-old IT professional from Pune, stepped on the weighing scale in 2021, the number shocked him — 110 kilograms. Long hours at a desk, late-night junk food, and almost no exercise had slowly pushed him into obesity. He often felt breathless after climbing just two flights of stairs and was warned by his doctor about the risk of diabetes.
But instead of giving up, Rohan made a promise to himself: “If I can put in hours coding for my career, I can invest time in my health too.”
The First Step: Small Changes
Rohan didn’t start with a fancy diet or a gym membership. He began small. He swapped sugary sodas for water, replaced fried snacks with fruits, and committed to walking 30 minutes every morning. The first two weeks were tough, but he noticed he was sleeping better and feeling more energetic.
🏋️ Discipline Over Motivation
By the third month, Rohan had lost 7 kilos. Encouraged, he joined a local gym but focused more on consistency than lifting heavy weights. His trainer reminded him: “Discipline beats motivation every single time.”
He set a realistic plan — strength training three days a week and cardio two days a week. Slowly, his body started to transform.
🍲 Balanced Eating, Not Starving
Rohan avoided fad diets. Instead, he learned portion control. His plate always had:
- 50% vegetables and salads 🥗
- 25% protein (chicken, fish, paneer, or lentils) 🍗
- 25% complex carbs (brown rice, oats, roti) 🍚
He allowed himself a “cheat meal” once a week — pizza or biryani — but never let it derail his progress.
⏳ Two Years Later: A New Life
By 2023, Rohan’s weight dropped to 72 kilograms — a massive 38 kg loss. More than the physical change, he felt mentally stronger, confident, and positive. Friends who once doubted him now ask for his fitness tips.
Rohan says:
“Weight loss isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself. Start small, stay consistent, and trust the process.”
Rohan’s journey proves that you don’t need shortcuts, magic diets, or expensive programs. What you need is consistency, discipline, and self-belief. If he could transform his life in two years, so can you.
