I gained 10lbs in Dubai. That’s a fact. There was a study here before that was entitled “Dubai Kilo”. It simply stated that one who moves to Dubai to work/ live would easily gain a kilo. Why so? Life here is so sedentary. Yes we do a lot of walking. To and from the bus stops even 10-15 minute walk to the office is a norm however it is not sufficient with the amount of food/ calorie you take in. It simply isnt!
When I went to see my OB-Gyn back home she was pretty surprised with the 10lbs I gained. I was embarrassed. And honestly I am also ashamed of myself because I could not wear most of the pants I left home. So when I came back to Dubai, I promised to shed some of the weight.
Today I began the journey. I went to the gym and prepared to reduce the food intake. Even the coffee and sugar.
It would not be easy but It is for me. I have vowed to go back to 120lbs. And be more fit. Good luck to me!
