I was a chubby kid. At the age of 10, I was 4'10" and weighed 55 kilos. Throughout my childhood, I was addressed as Moti (fat in Hindi), football, or “very healthy” by the slightly more considerate. Meanwhile, my parents were always trying to get me to lose weight and stay healthy. My Mom would fill my plate with salads before I went onto main course, hoping that I’d have little appetite left for anything else. My Dad took me running and made me do push-ups since I was 5 years old.
The thing is, I LOVED food. You know how in primary school they ask you who you want…
