During the COVID years, the world was forced into isolation, and like so many others, I found myself working from home. What started as a temporary situation slowly turned into months of minimal human interaction, leaving me in a state of self-isolation. Days turned into weeks, and the routine that once gave me comfort gradually lost its joy. The boundaries between work and life blurred, and I could feel the weight of loneliness and disconnection creeping in. With limited social interaction and mounting stress, my mental health began to silently suffer. What I hadn’t anticipated was just how much this would affect my physical health too. As the months passed, I started gaining weight, eventually reaching 92 kilograms—an 18-kilogram increase from my pre-pandemic self. The reflection in the mirror no longer matched the person I once was, and the weight on my shoulders felt heavier than the number on the scale. But it wasn’t just the physical weight that was holding me down—the emotional toll of stress, isolation, and anxiety had taken its toll. Then came a moment of realization. It wasn’t just the extra weight that had shifted—it was everything inside of me. I understood that my mental and physical health were deeply connected. To regain my health, I knew I had to start by healing from within. Post-COVID, when the world began to open up again, I decided it was time to take control of my life. That’s when I discovered WeWork India’s collaboration with CultFit. The program offered exactly what I needed—a balance of community support, expert guidance, and structured fitness regimens. But it wasn’t just about fitness. For me, it was an emotional reset—a chance to reconnect with myself, rediscover my strength, and find a supportive community that had my back through every step of the journey. Through persistence and dedication, I transformed both my body and mind. I lost 20 kilograms, bringing my weight down to 72 kgs, and achieved a BMI of 24—a goal that once felt impossible during the darkest days of the pandemic. But more than that, I regained my confidence, my energy, and my sense of belonging. Looking back, I realize how interconnected mental and physical health truly are. My story is proof that even in the hardest of times, we all have the strength to rise above, and with the right support, we can turn our struggles into stories of resilience and transformation. #StoriesofStrength #WeWork #WeWorkIndia #WorldMentalHealthDay
