Having come here I have realised the value of healthy eating unlike in India where eating is a ritual than a requirement. Lost 12 pounds and feeling a lot healthy !!!!!!

Definately food habits are changed a bit.

I started loving salads, steamed vegs., baked chichen a lot. don't like much of roti & rice(probably coz have bcome health concious) but do cook every day fresh chapatis & any kind of vegetarian dish that will go with chapati for hubby & son.

Have not ever skipped gym or evening walk (weather permitted)

Definately dressing is changed as working in professional field & also have found out about importance of good dressing.

Hubby does help around the house a little bit...mostly in basement, yard & a little bit here & there.

Mostly women do lot of hard work here & that is the reason mostly miss our 'kamwali bai' more than anything else.

Great you have lost weight & have become health-conscious.

I too have lost 8 kgs. weight after coming here mainly due to travelling by bus & walking a lot for going to work & back. Ofcourse have a proper lunch or dinner only once. But I used to do Yoga regularly in India & even after coming here. But for last 6 months don't do it due to irregular work timings.

Thanks & regards.

Indian_Immigrant,

It's the final countdown, isn't it?

For me, the countdown hasn't begun yet. But want to go back around March 2006 before the new academic year begins in India. Hopefully I should be able to pay off all the money & save money for the tickets.

I guess eating outside, as in your case, plus non-veg food might be a factor in not losing weight. I don't eat non-veg so that makes it a little easier.

Thanks & regards.

Rajan.
