Chickpea, Potato and Tomato Salad

Last October right after Durga Puja I had vowed to lose 9 kilos, some of which I had gained in the preceding month’s Eat Like a Bong extravaganza. Obviously the Puja excesses added to the catastrophe and very soon I found that my face had taken the shape of a pumpkin and my clothes were screaming for help. High time, I decided. I set a target for March and accordingly started my regimen. The first 4 kilos were dispensed with in no time. So by the third week of November, when I was 4 kilos lighter, my joy knew no bounds. March is such a distant target, I told myself. I’ll reach my desired weight latest by mid-January! 
Yeah right! It now seems I had spoke to much too soon, because from November to the present day I have been going round and round the same circle. I lose 4 kilos, gain 2, lose 3, gain 2 more and such goes the story. I have exactly 2 weeks in hand now and still have those stubborn last 4 kilos to get rid off and with my target date nearing I have no clue how to go about the whole hog. As in of course I know, but keeping the temptation under control is so damn difficult. 🙁
Maybe having salads like these can help? Just maybe? Let me give it a shot.
