Pictures of Kalli Purie Before and After Her Diet ProgramKalli’s sole qualification to write the book is that she has “been in the fat suit". "The book is told from an emotional point of view; from a dieter’s point of view,” says Kalli, adding that her book is a first-person account. “Fat people don’t think of themselves as fat,” says Kalli Purie, who allows herself to eat foods like French Fries, pizzas and jalebis only once a year.
Lifestyle battle:
The mother of two says that living in any of the metros doesn’t make healthy lifestyle choices easier. “What choice do we have, but to be closet dieters! We are continually assaulted by processed foods and ‘lazy entertainment’,” says Kalli, referring to options like going out for a dinner or a movie; choices that are usually defined or restricted by food. “I ask my friends to join me for a walk instead.”
Dear diary
Writing the book "Confessions of a Serial Dieter" proved to be a cathartic experience for Kalli, who says that her biggest revelation during the experience was the realisation that, “Everyone who is thin, is working on it. There is a diet out there for everyone; you have to find what works for you. This is what I did,” she says.
“Finding your ‘happy weight’ is like finding your soul mate. It takes time. I found my soul mate easily, but it took time for me to find my ‘happy weight’,” she signs off with a laugh.
