Hashtags are a tool to use, not a game that you need […]

How to manage not eating out while at a social gathering?
How to manage not eating out while at a social gathering? I find that really hard, the hosts/fellow companions find it almost rude and I just don’t know a way out. What are your tips to handle this?
Body Evolution & Consciousness
Many people wanted to know how I lost ten kilograms of body weight over the last six months. While I would like nothing more than to share how this happened to me, I am wary on two counts. One, what worked for me, might not work for anyone else. Two, weight loss is only the beginning. The tip of the ice berg. Keeping that weight off and leading a fitter, healthier lifestyle is my ultimate goal. I do not want to detract from that. "Lost Ten Kgs!" sounds like a gimmicky, "get rich quick" headline and I do not want that to be the selling point.
