So Easter Sunday is less than 24hrs and there is a lot of reason to look the other way and cheat...
Ah! It's not easy at all ... Choi! "Oya Nelly focus"
You see in my own very selfish way, I will like to lock myself up in one room and hide away from all the beautiful sweeties that the Easter eat outs and in could bring just to make sure I just don't cheat but am not alone in this world... I have to still perform my duties as a mum, wife and blogger (lol).
I cannot possibly have the alone time I will crave to have tomorrow for the fear of not cheating.
I even got a mail from a blogger asking me "nelly what happens tomorrow, are you goner cheat?" She went on to tell me that she needs to know so that she could cheat???
Sound weird right? That's why I say it's no longer about me anymore.
Truthfully I would have love to take a bite of something just anything but this lady's mail was just timing.
It made me think about my actions which I have chosen to forget tomorrow and just let loose alittle after all no one will know. But I will, and am accountable (well I feel that way) to this lady who I do not know but looks up to me for her inspiration.
I have tried not to allow my focus shift base, and I tell you every second, am on a constant battle with myself.
Trying to choose the right option all the time even though they are NOT favourites!
So tomorrow I have decided to do the following
- Remind myself Easter comes every year! So there are so many to celebrate with my slim me.
- Be brutally honest with myself
- Go to church! Speak to my fat to loose and speak to my "self" to obey.
- Cook meals for my family but get a tester (hubby loves ths job)
- And remember why I started this journey I mean literally speak it aloud at any time I can.
- Plan always!
Let see how tomorrow pans out but for now, dear reader am not even close to cheating....
It will end in praise!!!
We are getting there. All we need is to overcome and survive everyday!

ReplyDeleteHey Nelly, nice work u r doing here. My name is Jay, female & stumbled on ur blog @ Linda Ikeji's. Am in my thirties & ve bn fat like all my life, very wide hips, bulging tommy & all. I jst want 2 share my story wit u, cos I feel u, always. Ve always bn dt fat girl, tried so many weightloss clubs, very popular 1's I wldnt want 2 mention dia names. Tried weightloss drugs dt nearly purged me 2 death, ve tried major brands of slimming tea, sliming soap & cream, slimming belt, slimming massager, pin rolling/massaging, took raw aloe-vera, garlic, honey/cinnamon mixture dtz very disgusting, , lemon grass tea,Atkins weightlos dt almost got me depressed, Glycemic Index method & so many I can't remember dia names...trust me, I ve really spent money in search of weightloss solution. D most I lost was 8kg but, cos I cldnt make it my life style, I added d fat back. I gave up until, I weighed 101kg...didn't ve clothes again, startd snoring, waist /knee pain came, BP was 145/8..sthing, constant headache, Insomnia & all. Am 5ft 3inches & in my thirties & single oo. I stumbled on "Dance ur ass Off", hosted by Mel B & followed it 2 d last. Startd watching fat Doctor, Too fat for 16 & got Inspiration frm dia. As God will ve it, I walkd in on Beyonce's interview where she said she keeps fit by Counting Calories, thx 2 BB, I googled immediately & got tripped. I then kicked off my journey again on 11th January 2012, during Occupy Nigeria. I had my book were I recorded my daily food in-take, physical activities & all. A month l8r, I had lost 5kg & I kept it up. By April 7th, I had mastered calorie counting & had lost 18kg, my joy knew no bounds. Pple were shockd & startd asking questns, I startd wearing all my clothes & running out of clothes again but dis time, cos I was shedding weight. I neva went 2 d gym thruout, I got a stationary bike, body ball, skipping rope, filled 2 big ragolis bottle wit sand & dt bcame my improvised dumb bells, jogged 8.5km distance on sat & sun, ordered Zumba dance dvd & went 4 walks during lunch time in d office & in d evenings. To d glory of God, I startd wearing UK 8 by June as against my constant UK 18. It wasn't easy cos, I failed severally along d line, got frustratd & cried out 2 God. My dear, my story is very long but, bottom line is, I ve celebrated my weightloss 1yr anniversary, still UK 8 even though, pple r begging me 2 add a liitle 2 b @least, UK 10. I ve kept up wit calorie counting & I love it cos, u can eat anything so long as u knw d caloric content & dnt exceed ur daily requirement. Itz bn an awesome journey & I ve helped 3 ladies achieve dia own goals wit cal. Counting & am presently, helping 4 ladies, including my sister. Keep it up girl, jst make sure woteva method u choose will b ur life style. Am actually tired of typing, lol! Will continue some other time. Jst keep going Nelly, u can do it. Dnt let food control u, u shld b in-charge. Takia!
