Kwa zaka 10, ndimakhala ndikulimbana ndi vuto la kudya-lotengeka kwambiri ndi chakudya komanso chizolowezi chochita masewera olimbitsa thupi. Koma monga ndidaphunzirira zaka zamankhwala ndisanachiritse, bulimia chinali chizindikiro chake chokha. Kuchita zinthu mosalakwitsa anali matenda. Ndipo m'mbuyomo pamene bulimia inkalamulira moyo wanga, yoga inadyetsa matenda anga angwiro.
M'malo mwake, sindinakhalepo wokonda kwambiri yoga chifukwa m'malingaliro mwanga, ngati sindituluka thukuta, ndiye kuti "sichimawerengera" ngati masewera olimbitsa thupi. Yoga kuti "kupumula" inalibe funso. Chifukwa chake Bikram idakhala yoga yanga. Thukuta "lidatsimikizira" Ndidagwira ntchito molimbika, ndipo ndimadziwa kuti ndiziwotcha ma calorie ambiri mkalasi lililonse zivute zitani. Kutentha kunali kosapiririka ndipo kunagwirizana ndi chikhumbo changa chofuna kupitirira malire anga.

Koma ndinapezerapo mwayi pa umembala wanga wa mwezi ndi mwezi momwe ndikanathera ndipo sindikanaphonya kalasi-odwala, ovulala, kapena ayi. Liwu la thupi langa lidatsekedwa chifukwa liwu la vuto langa lakudya lidali liwu lofuula kwambiri padziko lapansi nthawi imeneyo.
