Family matters. Especially when you can’t keep up. When you are so exhausted by the end of the day that all you can do is exhale and sit down and think of bed. When spending time with your young kids seems like a chore. When all of this is caused by weight and the sluggishness that accompanies too much of it, it’s definitely time to rethink strategy.
Karthikeyan Anbarasan, from Chennai in India, is 170cm tall and lanky at 66kg– now. But he recalls a time he was 23kgs heavier than he is.
“I’m from IT. So my lifestyle was late-nights, junk food,” explains the 36 years old in an interview with Gulf News. Over a period of four-five years, Anbarasan explains, his weight crept up to 89. He became pre-diabetic, i.e. his blood sugar levels were up. He couldn’t focus. He was tired. ALL.THE. TIME. And his kids – one five years old; the other three - started to make fun of his girth.
