2:26 influence on so many young girls today um that that you know it's it's incredible for them to know that listen this lifestyle can only get you this far yeah I think uh again like I kind of understood the importance of that lifestyle at a very young age uh I was I was on I was I wasn't like a heavy kid but I was you know someone who didn't understand what's good or bad for them um so I grew up eating all kinds of junk
2:51 foods and I put on weight and then um I remember there was this incident I was this kid I went to this shop in bandra for clothes with my cousin who was very skinny and she was trying on these clothes and I wanted to try them on too and the shopkeeper literally told me and that you know that moment really like stuck with me I remember going back to the car and crying and telling my mom
3:14 that mom why am I fat you know so that really like played with my um and then I realized that you know there's no easy way out you have to work for it and I had this phas in junior college where I was anorexic cuz I wasn't eating so that's also not not good right so I've had phases and then I've kind of figured what works for me what doesn't then I've just I've been working out I've been
3:34 trying to eat right I love food also so like if I eat like a heavy meal the next day I try to make up for it but tell me um did you know that you were anorexic and then did you how did you catch it young because I wasn't eating like there was a phase where I wanted to lose weight so bad I wasn't eating and I was falling sick so that also I and your parents figured that out yeah so like
