Weight loss story: This woman lost 25 kgs by eating home cooked meals everyday

Losing weight is tough, but Sarah Fernandes from Mumbai made it happen. She lost 25 kgs, and it wasn’t just about how she looked, but about taking charge of her health. Her secret? Eating home-cooked meals every day.

Sarah had been overweight for most of her life. At her heaviest, she weighed 104 kgs. “I felt embarrassed and kept making excuses,” she says. But one day, Sarah decided she had to change. “I told myself, I’m going to try,” she explains. It wasn’t easy, but after nine months, Sarah lost 25 kgs, learning lessons of patience and self-control along the way.

One of Sarah’s biggest changes was switching to home-cooked meals. “I’ve always loved food, so I made it a part of my journey,” she says. By cooking at home, she was able to control what she ate and keep track of her portions. Home-cooked meals were healthier and helped her cut down on unnecessary calories. “It wasn’t easy at first, but it was worth it,” Sarah adds.

In addition to eating better, Sarah also started exercising. At first, she wasn’t sure she could stick with it. “I didn’t believe in myself, but as I started losing weight, I felt stronger,” she says. She also made simple lifestyle changes, like going to bed early and walking more throughout the day. These small habits helped her stay on track.

When asked about her secret to weight loss, Sarah says, “Perseverance.” The journey wasn’t quick or easy, but she didn’t give up. “Losing 25 kg may not sound like much to others, but for me, it’s a big deal. I still have 10 kgs to go, but I know I’ll get there,” she says. Despite the tough days, Sarah stayed focused on her goal.

The hardest part for Sarah was staying motivated, especially on days when she felt tempted to cheat. But as she continued to lose weight, she began to feel better and happier. “People who used to tease me started complimenting me,” she says. Her journey wasn’t just about weight loss—it was about changing how she felt about herself.
