If you’re a bride-to-be who wants to lose weight but all you’re losing is your mind, Aunty’s got your back, bachche. It’s not easy being a pretty doll; you have to do so much to maintain that gorgeous figure of yours; Aunty knows the struggle. So, if you’re looking to shed some weight without losing your brain cells, you’re in the right spot. Here are some quick tips to lose weight from Aunty’s handbook that will get you going.

1. Do 10 burpees every time someone asks you, ‘Ho gayyi taiyyari?’

The stress of being a bride planning her own wedding is unmatched. Yes, beta ji, it requires focus, multitasking, and dealing with brainless morons all the time — just like your corporate job, but worse. So, the next time someone asks you how the preparations are going, immediately get into position and do ten burpees.

2. Go for a run every time you panic call the groom, and they ask you to chill out

You might be panicking over the décor, your outfits, your guestlist, the wedding favours, photographers, and whatnot, and your fiancé could just be sitting on a couch eating popcorn and chilling. So, every time you call them to ask something, and they ask you to take a chill pill, go for a quick run. It will also prepare you for your wedding day in case you have to make a run for it.

3. Take an amla shot when you hear your mummy losing her sh*t over not inviting her door ke rishtedaar

The trickiest part of the wedding is not planning the events; it is the rishtedaars, bachche. Who to invite and who to block from your Instagram stories. So, whenever there’s kalesh over not inviting door ke rishtedaar and your mummy throws a fit, take an amla shot. Apne pe dhyaan do beta, kalesh to chalte rahenge.

4. Break into jumping jacks every time your bua rings up for not getting enough attention

Dekho bachche, ghar ki shaadi is a big event, and also one that shows everyone’s true colours. Your bua will constantly be cribbing about not involving her in everything and not giving her enough attention. So, every time you see the phone ringing, and it’s her with another complaint, just break into jumping jacks and do one set of 50. Lose that weight, beta ji, not your brain cells.

5. Do 5 surya namaskar when your soon-to-be saasu calls to add more “gifts” for their family

Dahej nahi beta, gifts bolte hain, it’s 2024. So, every time your soon-to-be saasu calls to ask for more “gifts,”  because unke yahan pe aise hi hota hai, let your mom handle her. You get a mat and do five surya namaskar.
