Bodybuilding is my hobby. Without going to the gym, I feel uneasy. It is like a drug. It has become so addictive. But was it always the way it is? Let's go back to my childhood to find out..
As the first male newborn in the family, I was well loved by everyone. People around me used to buzz about how cute I was and so on(mom told me). I was pampered like no other boy in the family before and even after. I was given sweets, Chocolates, lollipop, 'Twisties', Popcorn... and not to forget going to marriages and eating as much as I want. That was life- Or so I thought..
At the age of 10, I fell in love with sports. Taking part in competitions were no use, since I was overweight. Similarly, my friends used to reject me in their football teams. They would mock me. They would say I couldn't run, but it was the truth.. Doctors would advise my parents to control my diet. Well, I was stubborn(You know..kids)..
Finally, taking a decision to prevent me from ruining my life, dad began taking me jogging with him. Run a few meters, and I would pant like an old dog.. but that improved by the weeks. Then I dropped fitness, and returned to my old life again.
At the age of 12, I attained my puberty. Yet I was overweight. Then something happened that changed my attitude forever. lots of my classmates looked my down. Girls began avoiding me. I was constantly aware of my clothes that were not fitting. I realized.. I did not fit in this society..
I talked to dad about about it. He told to restart my fitness. And jogging I began and lost a few weight. Still I was different. I almost felt like a freak!! Then Dad took me to a brand new level of my life when I was 13 years old; GYM..
For the first six months, I just took it lightly.. I took weight and became 106 kgs. That was too much. When the gym owner found out, he scolded me seriously. I took it all to heart. Then the work began. I started a whole new regime.. dropping almost all unhealthy food out of my life.
Dad began to worry, mom was terrified. I lost weight at an alarming rate. Within 6 months, I had lose 19 kgs. I began fitting among my friends, for the first time in my life. I became so addicted to bodybuilding, that I wouldn't do my homework until I went to the gym.. but that has changed..
Today , I am 15 years old, and I am a minor legend in my locality. I am well reputed for my feats and the way my appearance changed completely is not forgotten. My dad's eyes shine with pride when he sees me achieving something thought to be impossible for me.
Seriously, bodybuilding is one of my favorite hobbies..
