I love sweets and I just cannot stop eating them!

Around the time I started my blockchain journey (about 2 years ago) was also when I began my drastic weight-loss journey.

I've been on the heavier side of the weighing scale for most of my life, and it can be attributed to the fact that I've always been a big foodie and I used to eat a lot of food (which included lots of oily, greasy, fat-laden junk food apart from a high-calorific and heavy assortment of sugary desserts).

Today, I'm very much proud of my weight-loss journey, and it's gotten to a point where people keep telling me to put on some weight.
It's not that I'm skinny now, although I did get too skinny in between owing to the fact that I overdid the cardio in the initial days. Now I focus more on weights, and believe I'm healthy. But it so happens that when people get used to seeing you one way for the most of your life, they tend to compare you with your former self and would rather see you chubby and cute than being fit and healthy.

It has taken them some time to accept the new me, but now they're used to it and don't bother me as much as they did in the initial days when my makeover totally took them by shock.
I'm happy I've managed to shed over 25 kgs. since the start and have been maintaining it over the past 1.5 years - working out regularly and tracking my diet for the most part. Maybe I'll do an elaborate post about my weight-loss journey sometime, with before and after pictures, because I've always wanted to do that.

The agenda of today's post is mainly to enlighten you about the one enemy that wants me to fail and keeps creating havoc in my healthy lifestyle by messing with my diet - and that entity is my big ass sweet tooth.

I don't know the exact reason how my love for sweets developed, but one of the reasons is definitely because my mom herself is crazy about sweets and on top of that she knows how to cook some really amazing desserts which I've been gulping down with much relish for the most part of my life.

Yes, my love for sweets is as old as me itself, and I'm pretty sure it'll never go away.
I've tried, but I've failed.
Now I've just made peace with it and do some extra rounds on the treadmill to burn those extra calories.

It doesn't help that in India, we get an amazing assortment of sweets, each with distinct mouthwatering tastes, but common in their intent to flood your body with sugar.

Some of my top favorite sweets are:

Gulab Jamuns
Kaju Barfi
Gajar Ka Halwa

and you can read some more in the post I had made - Desserts That Make Me Go Weak In The Knees | Mom's Homemade Sweets about 2 years ago on steemit, when I was new and about the time I was starting my fitness journey.

My naive old self was thinking I could give up sweets. Haha. Atleast I could give up the excessive amount of fat I had accumulated in my body over the years.
