Having struggled with my weight almost since teenage, the first concern for me when I learnt about my pregnancy was my weight. Though I had successfully lost and maintained my weight a few years ago, I was still afraid of gaining weight during pregnancy.

Well, all my fears came true when I put on a whopping 17-18kgs during my pregnancy. Initially, I managed to lose some of it post delivery and was happy. But with erratic schedules and taking care of the baby, I piled on more weight. So it was a total of 20kgs gain vis-a-vis my pre-pregnancy weight.

“Wow you are a Mom to a 5 year old? You don’t even look married!!”

Compliments like these make my day. I am sure any mom would love to receive such compliments. We all would love to look young and cool just like our celeb moms Malaika Arora, Karisma Kapoor, Mandira Bedi to name a few. Well, just because they are in media we feel its very easy for them to do it or that it’s a mandate for them. On the contrary, I feel it’s a “conscious choice” you make to stay fit and healthy even after a child birth.

Looking good and feeling confident go hand in hand, the sooner you start some physical activity which fits into your schedule the faster you will reach your pre-pregnancy weight. After 9 months of being pampered, eating for 2, eating whenever and whatever comes to sight, giving in to your tiniest craving thinking you so deserve it … it’s now time to get back to reality and step out from your comfort zone, wear your workout gear and get going to achieve your post pregnancy weight loss.

As a child, I remember my mother giving me a handful of nuts every morning with breakfast. While cashews, almonds and pistachios I liked, I frowned on seeing walnuts. They tasted bitter and unappealing. But, my mother would encouragingly tell me, “Walnuts are good for your brain because they look like your brain. Eat them if you want to top your class”.

After all these years, I can’t help but smile at the truth in that sentence. Nature communicates with such simple signs, it’s amusing. Here is a list of 6 foods that resemble human body parts and nourish them. Continue reading →
