Sharing a before and after picture of herself, Neha wrote a long post on Instagram speaking about her weight loss. "Here’s a long tru story about me loosing 23 kgs … let me start by saying it was nt easy … living with the weight or trying to shed it. Post both my pregnancies the weight gain or living in a larger body that I was nt used to was extremely tough to come to terms with."
"Every room one would walk into there was always a conversation about weight or unsolicited advise that I took with head bob ( caus on most days I was tired , plain tired of listening ) . Day 1 of my journey started over a year and a few months ago with a sense of belief and self love that hey .. come on you can do it too. I called two of my most favourite trainers … my run coach @mirandabrinston and my yoga sir @rohitflowyoga and without any questions asked a day later I was training with both alternatively and somewhere I say hope," she added.

"I felt the aches , the pains the need to show up , the inability in my body to reach the optimum I had left it at , the fatigue which is hard to put down in words between two babies , work , a home that needs you 24 x 7 and ofcourse no shift in the way I looked," she wrote.
"Then the big one the diet kicked in , no sugar , no gluten and eating early and taking a break from food for 14 hours . And all of this once again accompanied with failed fittings with stylists and designers and mild rejections at work caus hey inclusivity is a real thing till it happens to you … but I ll save that for another time or another story , may be!?"
"To say that I have reached my optimum best , I’d say I’m far far away but to say I have given my best till now … I sure have . I feel better , fitter and far more confident than I ever did . As a mother of two and an actor, entrepreneur and runner I could nt be happier sharing this with everyone.
The truth is there are no short cuts , there is no easy way around it , there is also no rocket science … stay consistent, work hard and show up especially on the days you don’t feel like it at all," she added.
"If you are feeling like I was a year and a half ago and feel you need to do something about it … please do! Get up , get out , work out and love yourself! Caus there’s jus one you … !!! #ificanyoucan," concluded Neha.
