The Turning Point: While I was well aware that I had become obese and was rapidly gaining more weight, I did not really bother. After a point of time, I was diagnosed with PCOD and thyroid issues, but I still did not pay any attention or made any efforts to change my lifestyle. However, the alarming situation came when I did not get my periods for one while year, owing to all the excess weight. That was the point I realised that I needed to do something to change my lifestyle and get back in shape. That was definitely the turning point of my life and I have come a long way since then.
