VOYAGE AU DOPENESS (Don't you dare tell me about self discipline)

Avesta: OMG, I thought people did not have food in Africa

Lmao... So let me explain how this happened. I was showing my friend my old pictures on facebook and she gasped when she saw how fat I was and made that statement.

So my weight loss journey started on the 22nd of September 2012 weighing a 100kg (size 16/18). It took a lot of courage, effort and resources. Many people have asked me what I did, so I'm just gonna make this public knowledge.

I started 'Cambridge Diet' on that fateful day. Cambridge diet comprises of soups, shakes and porridge. The diet allows for no food or fruits AT ALL. For the two weeks, I got the whole lot but hated the soups and porridge but however managed. When I went to see my consultant after the two weeks, I had lost about 5 kg. Whoop!!!!. From then, I went solely on shakes (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, and fruits of the forest). Let's just say I lived on liquid for 3 months (talk about discipline) and lost about 15 kg (size 14/16).

You can't believe that someone who apparently did not about my journey, which I have called 'Voyage au dopeness' (Journey to dopeness) called me fat. Like seriously?? First thing was to ask the person 'are you crazy'? But then for the love of God , I walked away. Note to people like that- You do not know about people's struggles and it is really not your business, just shut up and drive.

Anyway, back to the discussion, I went to Nigeria for the Christmas break for about a month. Added about 2kg (not so bad huh?). When I got back, I began to struggle with Cambridge Diet, I would do for two days, cheat on the third, get back on the fourth, sigh...it was just a back and forth thing. It was tiring. Then on this beautiful morning, Anna pinged me and wrote, 'Google GM Diet'. Very direct, no need for too much talk. lol.

 GM Diet is divine. It's basically fruits and veggies but on a strict timetable and about 30 minutes of exercise. I dropped a dress size in less than a month. It is a great diet. Not as expensive as Cambridge Diet and equally as effective. Let's just say I am in the 70's and a dress size 12/14.

I am on a break now. I cannot come and kee myself abeg. One more dress size to go and I'm done. hehehe. P.S - Don't get it twisted, I am a fine geh, weight loss or not, dass all.

Thanks to my parents, because it's their money I used to diet, lol and to my wonderful friends who did not allow me to cheat and always encouraged me. Love y'all.

Sorry the pics are plenty,I like looking at myself and it's my blog -_- . :D

Final words- Whatever you want to do (weight loss or whatever), let it be your decision and God's because only then can you succeed at it. Don't let anyone pressure you into it. Life itself is a series of decisons YOU make, it's all you.
