College ka first year tha, aur Rohan hamesha se hi thoda patla tha. "Naturally slim," doctors kehte the, par dosto aur rishtedaaron ke liye woh bas "sukda" ya "kamzor" tha. "Arre Rohan, kuch khaya piya kar yaar! Hawa chalegi toh udd jayega!" – yeh mazak uske liye roz ka tha. Shuru shuru mein woh hass deta tha, par dheere dheere yeh baatein uske dimaag mein ghar karne lagi.
Gym mein dost muscles bana rahe the, aur Rohan ko lagta tha ki woh kitna bhi try kar le, waisa kabhi nahi ban payega. Usko T-shirts pehenne mein bhi sharam aane lagi thi, lagta tha jaise hanger pe kapde tang diye ho. Woh social media pe fit logon ki photos dekhta aur khud ko aur bhi kamzor mehsoos karta. "Kya main kabhi normal lagunga?" yeh sawaal uske mann mein ghoomta rehta.
Stress badhne laga, exams ka pressure alag. Pata nahi kab, usne theek se khana peena kam kar diya. Kabhi class miss ho jati, toh lunch skip. Kabhi tension mein bhookh nahi lagti. Natija? Woh aur patla ho gaya. Ab usko thakaan bhi jaldi hone lagi thi. Cricket khelne jaata toh do over mein saans phool jaati. Padhai mein bhi mann nahi lagta, hamesha ek ajeeb si kamzori mehsoos hoti.
Ek weekend uski cousin Priya didi ghar aayi. Priya ne notice kiya ki Rohan kitna chup chup aur thaka hua lag raha hai. "Kya baat hai Rohan? Sab theek? Tu kuch pareshan lag raha hai," usne pyaar se poocha.
Rohan pehle toh taal gaya, par Priya didi ke baar baar poochne par usne apne dil ki baat bata di – logon ke taane, weight na badhne ka frustration, kamzori ka ehsaas.
Priya didi ne dhyaan se suna. Phir unhone apni baat share ki. Unhone bataya ki kaise unhe bhi college time mein apne weight ko lekar (unka weight thoda zyada tha) logon ne kitna pareshan kiya tha. "Logon ka kaam hai kehna, Rohan," unhone samjhaya. "Important yeh nahi ki tum mote ho ya patle. Important yeh hai ki tum andar se strong aur healthy feel karo. Weight sirf ek number hai, health usse kahin zyada badi cheez hai."
Unhone Rohan ko samjhaya ki stress lene se aur khana skip karne se health aur bigadti hai. Unhone uske saath baithkar ek simple, nutritious meal plan banaya – ghar ka bana balanced khana, time par nashta, lunch, dinner, aur beech mein healthy snacks jaise fruits ya nuts. "Ekdum se body builder banne ki mat soch," Priya didi ne kaha. "Chhote chhote steps le. Roz time pe khao, thodi exercise karo jo tumhe pasand ho – maybe walking ya cycling, aur sabse important, khud ko accept karo jaise tum ho."
Rohan ko Priya didi ki baatein sunkar bahut himmat mili. Usne decide kiya ki ab woh logon ki baaton pe dhyaan nahi dega, balki apni health pe focus karega. Usne time par khana shuru kiya, thoda walk pe jaana shuru kiya. Dheere dheere uski energy wapas aane lagi. Woh thoda behtar feel karne laga.
Weight abhi bhi utna nahi badha tha, par ab Rohan ko fark nahi padta tha. Usne samajh liya tha ki healthy hona sirf wazan badhana nahi hota. Woh ab pehle se zyada confident tha, aur usne khud ko accept karna seekh liya tha. Uski journey abhi shuru hui thi, par ab woh sahi raaste par tha – health aur self-acceptance ke raaste par.
