It is a real story of Mr. Ghulam, belonging to Federal Administered Tribal Areas.
In 2017, he joined University of Peshawar-BS International Relations. After admissions, he contacted us for hostel accommodation.
While hearing his admission at University of Peshawar, we congratulate him like: Congratulations, Fatty men etc. Means he was so overweight, that everyone in his friend's circle was making fun of him.
But, he never stops. The only greatness which impressed me, was that: his smiling & laughing face after every joke from ours side. He never minds. But he was so social among us that we never understand his greatness towards such f***king jokes.
We, became hostel-mates. And enjoyed every single moments in hostel and outside.
In March 2019, NCO announced that all educational institutes will be closed due to COVID-19. Lockdown imposed all over Pakistan. Everyone shocked, when government extends holidays for educational institutes.
We became very happy that thanks almighty, for giving us relaxation time. As internet was not so strong in backward areas of Pakistan, especially tribal areas.
And Ghulam was currently living in Punjab, taking advantage of lockdown due to pandemic, due to which all institutions became closed. And also recreational centers were locked by governmental authorities.
Everyone was at his home. Everyone became bored while sitting at home. Everyone was thinking for doing some work.
Ghulam was among those who stood for his own health. And start trying to lose weight.
By June 2021, when I contact him through phone call, he was happy and said: "Engineer, I am taking advantage of COVID-19, trying to lose weight- 50 kg in this pandemic."
I just ignored his words, and start laughing by his innocent words.
He added, "In SHA Allah; One day you'll see, I will be among those healthiest men who worked on health by setting their self as an example for others".
What seeing next, when he came back to hostel. He calls us and inform us about his arrival to hostel. We meet there at his room.
By first look, I didn't recognize we him. But he laughed so loudly- that everyone around was thinking about his achievement.
I said, "Ghulam, I lost-What you said on phone call comes true, and you make it possible".
Ghulam starts his story of losing weight. He said that "I start getting up early in the morning. After fa jar prayer, catch up for phone & hands free. And wearing trouser and diggers for running".
In hands free, I was listening to Holy Quran. Running about 5 km to the nearest football ground at Punjab. In fact, it wasn't so easy at first week, but trying is success. He added
At 9:00 Am, coming back home. Taking my breakfast- Which includes, Just 1 Apple and 1 Water Glass.
Then seats for study up to 12:30 Pm, noon. In Lunch, I just eats Salad-(Mixed in Dali) and seasonal fruits. Taking drinking water bottle, I just come out for running again at 2:00 Pm.
Up to 5:00 Pm, I tried running, walking and playing football at ground.
After, to reach at Gym for just body fitting. About 1 hour at gym, comes back to home. By eating some fruits/Salad and taking green tea, comes to rest for 1 hour.
While spending whole day at exercise, becoming so curved that after Night Prayer, comes directly to bed for sleep.
And again repeats the same for about 3 months. He said to all of us present there at his room.
This was a real story for his weight lose. You may contact me for more detail. Anyone who want to talk him on phone call or WhatsApp or who want to meet him in person can contact me via email. I will share further details.
