Weight loss
GuideI
am Bhavna
Tokekar, 47
years young
and presentlyresiding at Bhopal. I
am mother of two son
aged 19 and 15 and am
a homemaker by
choice.
I am a Commerce graduate
and was a working woman
before marriage. I had been a
customer care executive with
Sterling Resorts and DSS
Mobile Communications for
roughly 6 years. I did not take
up a job after marriage by
choice and not due to any
compulsions. Having married a fighter
pilot from India Air Force, I have
stayed at various stations since 1998. I
am a Maharashtrian but I did my
schooling from Godhra in Gujarat. As
a school student I had represented my
school at district level in Table Tennis.
While I did qualify in State level
selection to represent Gujarat, I could
not go for the training sessions due to
my 10th board exams. After 10th my
father got transferred to Ahmedabad
and since then I could not pursue
Table Tennis due to multiple reasons.I was never really
out of shape even
after I stopped
playing. However, I did
find it rather
monotonous to
attend school/ college
for just studies.But then college life had its own
advantages which I enjoyed
thoroughly. I took up a job in the
final year of graduation but
college schedule and office work
consumed most of my time (8am
to 7pm) and possibility to play/
undertake any form of physical
activity was near impossible owing
to the mental debilitation and
physical fatigue of commuting
between office and home. While I
did enjoy that period as well, I
always yearned to get back to
some form of physical activity.
After marriage apart from
household chores and taking care
of kids ,gardening in the morning
and 2-3 km walk in the evening
were my basic physical activities I
started gaining weight in 2007 as
side effect of a prescribed oral
steroid drug administered to me
by a doctor. The drug caused
severe cravings for sweet whichBhavna Tokekar
