Mind Over Matter





Me in year 2



So i have been getting alot of buzz from people asking me why i chose the cambridge diet and why i dont want to jog or watch what i eat, they too are big and have been watching what they eat,  ... blah blah blah...

Anyways una no go understand,as far as am concerned, all you people calling yourself fat, you guys are actually slim beside me oh! dont allow my pics and my height to deceive you...
I promised to tell you guys a bit about me so here is it ...

I have not always been big, the picture above is me in my university days, when i used to be the rocking babe in school... i may not be catergorised as small but i definitely wont be called big...
Even at that i have always been struggling with my weight but it didnt really bother me and all because i used to trek mostly as our lectures were literally scattered all over the school.
Then in school even up till now my slang has been one more wouldnt hurt but i was just in denial, i really let my body rule over mind....
I kept increasing and it never stopped. I have a very catchy personality which people get attracted to first so it was easy to blank my 'fat issues" from anyone and go with the flow... I feel am a shy person (alot of people don't believe that lol) and a goal getter and won't stop until i get what i want. but that only applies to every other thing except my weight...


Me in year 1
Like i wrote in my previous posts, i have tried so many things and have failed at it, even failed at this cambridge diet too! did it a while back when i was still single and had relationship issues and the only thing there to comfort me was food... i even ate more! the ice cream factory and pizza place near my house new my number and would always deliver free and have an extra topping free too because i was a regular customer... i even got calendars at the at the end of the year to show you how regular i was!
Then i started developing pains in my knees when i want to squat, had short of breathe and all...
When i started this journey I weighed in at 160.9kg thought i was 149kg yes am that big and (i have lost 16kg or so in 3 weeks now 144.1kg) I decided to start with baby steps ... it took everything in me to push my fat self to the open space every morning for exercise but i was determined. Funny enough i got support from people who were also exercising and no one called me Orobo (fat girl).
I was motivated but i knew i couldnt jog, so what i did was to walk 10 times the field then in the last lap i jog and go home.
But i really envied the ladies who run 10 laps while i walked, i know i couldnt start jogging just like that, i needed to loose my weight alittle to be able to atleast jog...thus cambridge diet...

To be continued....

  7. I am truly shocked to realize that we looked almost same size when I was in school and that I am in the boat of "just a little won't hurt". I need all the help I can get! Keep it up Nelly you are doing great!
