The Best Day of My Life Speaking Prompt

In our lives, we usually go through various good days. However, only a few of them count as the best, and I am fortunate enough to have a day I can categorize as the best day of my life. It was five years back when, suddenly, due to the coronavirus pandemic, there was a lockdown worldwide, so my city was no exception.

We had a strict lockdown with a curfew, so Going out was impossible. So, at that time, I was people used to body shame, so one respite was there because of the lockdown. I was not going out, so no one was teasing me, but deeper inside my mind, I realized that this lockdown period could bring a paradigm shift in my life because I could do something that could help me lose weight.

So, I joined an online course related to fitness. It was exercise, so I continued it for a month but didn’t lose even an inch. I consulted Dr. Rimple Sharma on the recommendation of one of my friends. The consultation with her through online class changed my perspective towards weight loss because she told me that the most significant contributor to weight gain is not lack of exercise; it is your eating habits.

So she suggested I be mindful regarding my eating, and apart from that, she suggested I take all meals between 6 AM and 6 PM because that encourages intermittent fasting. After all, your body is in a fasting mood for 12 hours, and apart from that, it takes care of your body’s circadian rhythm. I was another piece of advice, and apart from that, she told me that whatever sugar we eat, if we do not burn it, it gets stored in our body, so she told me to minimize sugar intake.

So, I followed her advice with determination, dedication, and discipline for three months. I would do some exercise in the morning. I would take all meals between 6 AM and 6 PM, and apart from that I stopped eating sugar in any form so after three months when the administration lifted the lockdown. I came out of my home, so that was a cloud-nine moment for me; instead, you can call it a Eureka moment because I got a lot of appreciation from people around me.

My near and dear ones were perplexed at my transformation because I lost about 20 kgs of weight, and there was a lot of inch loss. I started looking masculine and athletic, so the appreciation I received that day will remain etched in my memories.
