Marrying right in life is a huge blessing. The huge role Anita’s husband played in all of this cannot be overemphasized. Imagine if she married a wrong husband,? will he even care to that extent? Listen attentively to her story, the turning point was when her husband told her he was afraid of loosing her, those were words on marble. Ikechukwu is a husband and more. Congratulations Anita. You are blessed.
I was always very slim from childhood till even after giving birth to my daughter who is now 19. I'm an ex dancer. My weight gain started after I got married in 2010. In 2017 I decided to change my life. I went from 92 kg to 67kg. Today.... I'm very much into sports and I eat a lot, but healthy foods. I eat fish and seafood. Only eat meat once in weeks. I pound my own yam, I dry my own amala plantains, I make my own juice. I learnt how to swim, how to ride a bicycle, go on a long walk and go to the gym... I'm now a dance and fitness teacher at the age of 42 !! And I look like I'm still in my early 20s.and I use bible verses to encourage myself and how I'm sorry for destroying my body that is supposed to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Love from Germany !!
I am glad I came across this. I have been battling sleep apnea and later HBP because of my size, I refused to go on drugs because I felt I was too young to start a lifelong journey of taking routine drugs but my BP kept going high and got very dangerous because my weight increased still until I resigned to fate and decided to start BP drugs three months ago. The culprit? Coke and Pepsi are the major ones, others are spicy foods with lots of sodium, I crave this almost every day. I can relate to this story because several times I've tried to start by even stopping carbonated drinks, I start and after a day or two I go back and become worse, at times as much as three pet bottles a day. Yes, I claim I'm a foodie and don't joke with cake, I'm so shameless about it. Watching this has encouraged me, even though I might not think of surgery yet, I will keep working on avoiding the poisons I have gotten addicted to. Thank you for sharing your story
@@gracefanenthe strong truth. Some things I did that worked for me years ago never worked again 😢 I had to work twice harder than usual. We go dey alright
Eating right is extremely important, thank God you took the decision and thank God for the great man by your side,God bless your husband and continue to keep both of you together in Jesus Name Amen
Who else is naturally in love with her. She is so gifted. Even her story made me laugh so hard because she still found a way to make it funny by the way she explained it. Mama may the lord keep strengthening you ❤❤❤
Thank you for your heartfelt story. As a doctor, hearing how you described your symptoms and the diagnosis, despite all the glam and packaging at that time,is the most profound account for me. Many people are just dead men and women walking. We can still do all sorts but in reality, the body is crying out for help. I pray for more blessings upon you and your family. Choosing to bless our generation with this truth will save millions and God will take you to a new level of glory that even you cannot imagine. Thank You!
@@oyindamolaolawumi4922 Every center and health system will have their price. Like Ms Anita mentioned severally,she was in the care of her doctor who recommended the Surgery. There are also different types of weight loss surgery. It’s not one fits all. I would recommend to speak with a licensed and qualified doctor who would really evaluate what needs to be done and then can give a price.
I just watched your video twice and am crying, bcoz after I gave birth. I started having knees pains. Trust Africans I said and church also said it’s spiritual. And I migrated from 80 to105kg. I was having severe pains in my hand. I went to the chemist and they were asking me if I hv diabetes? Then I there I knew I had to lose weight, i checked my data and my BMI said I was currently on obsesity 2. I was waiting to give birth to all my kids before losing weight. But thank God I started dieting and now am 98kg and will still go down. Thank you for giving me more inspiration. My knees currently hurt now but I won’t be discouraged.
You can get proper walking/jogging shoes with cushion to alleviate knee pains.Some of those low or high heel sandals or shoes that some people wear can be harmful to the knees in the long run.
I wish I could give a billion likes, you are a real life role model for sharing your journey so real as it is. Everyone has some ugly and by sharing your journey, you have inspired a lot of black women like me in similar situations.
I was the event planner for that Fidelity End of Year Event. I saw you that day. You were so beautiful in your white pant suit. You totally killed your set as usual. You showed no sign of pain or distress. You are consummate professional. Thank you so much for "keeping it real" and sharing your journey!
I was there that day and I would never have imagined she went through all that. We even took pictures and she was so energetic as usual. I’m happy for her. Super duper happy.
I just felt you were talking to me directly, I’m trying to loose weight but the body is not willing.. then telling myself to love myself the way I am.. but hearing this now, I’m motivated and ready for the weight loss .. It’s a good decision on the weight loss surgery, you look so fineee 🥰 mama … now the peace of mind is restored back to you … congratulations!!! You’re a strong woman ❤️
This is the height of being vulnerable ❤😊. Itvtakes a lot to share this experience and you have done so to encourage and help others. Thank you. As a morbidly obese person, i have chosen to admit ive been cerelass with my eating, i have over indulged, i have consistently gained all the weight by myself and i am a FOOD ADDICT!.Now , by the grace of God Almighty , i choose life, i choose health, i choose slim and fit body. I decide to work hard on changing my nutritional lifestyle . I cling to your words today, " we need to normalize being fit, slim and healthy". It is a service to God, self and humanity. Overcoming any form of addiction is an uphill battle but we will win! God bless you on your journey
This is a great lesson for all of us. Thanks so much for opening your world to all of us. Shame on anyone in advance who wants to use your words against you. If we can do surgery to get rid of fibroids, hernia, appendicitis, etc., why can we do the same for fats? A friend called me last month complaining about difficulty in walking. He went to the hospital and was told his veins were getting small. He called me and laughed about it. Last Monday he had a stroke and went into a coma. Sadly, I lost him this morning. Our body continues to communicate to us but out of ignorance, carelessness, or busy schedules. Let's take our health seriously.
Eating disorder is also a form of addiction. Thank God you got help. There is no shame in admitting to needing help. Shout out to your hubby and your family 💖
As a person who has struggled with my weight I understand how hard making the decision to go for WLS. I too made that choice and scheduled WLS for February 2024. Meanwhile I have done a number of things that have helped me lose 11kg over 3 months. 1. Stopped drinking my calories>>> no fizzy drinks, juices, milkshake, sweet tea etc. I drink water + black coffee and occasionally dry red wine. 2. Stopped buying and eating junk snacks. (lays, pringle chips, biscuits, popcorn, sweets) 3. Intermittent fasting. 20:4 week days (stop eating 7pm and then eat next day between 3-7pm) Weekends 16:8. I reduced carbs gradually + increased protien. 4. Walk 6000 steps 5 times a week. One of the things I find helpful is giving myself time. Focusing on building consistency with my new habits rather than focussing on the scale. Another is making small incremental changes. I started with just cutting out unhealthy drinks. Then added Intermittent fasting. Then gradually started reducing carbs, then walking 5000 steps. I have tried extreme changes all at once ... that didn't work for me. I would lose and gain back. Now I'm doing small but long term changes gradually. It's taken years to accumulate the weight. It will take time to shed it off and keep it off. Goodluck to everyone whose fighting for their health every day.
Losing weight is a lifestyle journey. You have made a great improvement. I am a nutritionist Dietitian and I must say, it's a gradual process. More grace
"What is life if you're NOT healthy?" Powerfull words. Thank you my sister for the encouragement. I've been on & off on my journey, this is my first time watching you somehow you just pop-up on my feed. I appreciate you sharing your story. Much love from Florida😊
Lizzo needs to hear this. She's out there with her crazy idea of self love and that it's ok to be a plus size and eat whatever you want. Thank you for this real warri pikin.
Gosh! People battle with so much outside social media yet keep motivating us online and we just assume all is well with them. You looked so ravishing in that white suit you wore for the Fidelity end of the year show and I mean who could have thought you were in so much pain? You're simply a very strong and resilient woman ma'am. Thank God for seeing you through the surgery and thank you for sharing your story with us all, it's really inspiring! Thank you again🤗🤗
This story was so emotional for me and I cried because I actually put myself in your shoes. You are really a brave woman to share your story. It’s not all about body positivity when it starts giving you health issues, body positivity should come with being healthy. A healthy body= healthy soul and mind. Thanks for sharing ma’am🥰❤️
❣❣❣❣❣ saw this on IG, glad I found it here. You are amazing and such an inspiration, I love how real you are. As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder I get it.
Chai I cried, nobody knows what anyone is going through, RWP went through all this and she still made us laugh, God bless her and continue to keep her for all of us❤❤
I am really happy she came out with the truth, I was praying she does not come and tell us it was one tea or the other because I already knew what it was from day one. My respect and love for you is on a new level now.
@@Tabsisblessed it’s not hard to know when you’re really aware of these things and if you look at the rate at which she’s shrinking. I respect her for owning her story and not trying to deny it, the surgery on its own is not the easy way out like she mentioned but it helps.
God bless you. Thank you for sharing the truth and not monetizing it like some people would have. God will continue to keep you in perfect health as you have the strength to carry on with it as well. We love you Anita ❤️
Honestly, this has inspired me, I lost over 30kg in 2020,and was happy and healthy, and then I began to over eat again 😭😭😭my husband is seriously complaining right now and listening to this now?? I have made up my mind to return to dieting. It's the best way to go. Thank you❤🌹🙏
Thanks for sharing this with us. I’ve been battling weight loss for awhile since I was on medically prescribed drugs that eventually messed up my hormones. And you sharing your experience and not lying to make plus sized people buy pills that will never works says a lot about your care for humanity. Thank you.
Whoa! People already thought that you would lie and give credit to a slimming tea or weightloss regime 😢. Im happy for you. We must begin to teach our children to eat right from childhood. It is extremely difficult to change once adulthood hits! Gos bless you RWP 🎉🎉
I love you. Seriously we need so much discipline to achieve the weight loss . I was weighing 84kg during the lock down period and I followed a diet. No carbohydrates, no sugar. I ate so much fruits especially watermelon, proteins, a lot of pepper soup but not with the scotched pepper. I used Cayenne pepper instead. I ate a lot of vegetable, drank moringa mixed with citron and lemon grass with no sugar. To be sincere with us all I Lost about 14kg within 2 and a half month. We need a lot of discipline. I mean a lot
Weightloss no be your mate. I followed a strict diet and went from 88kg to 61.5kg between October 2nd and December. Omo if you see me then.. discipline was my second name. My neck pain me when saying No to people. No carbs… no sugar. Just vegetables and protein with detox water. My phone na meal plans full am… It was crazy losing 27kg, people got worried and i had to stop
I'm a large woman, and we live in a world where we all want to be accepted, but the truth is when one's weight becomes a problem, you are slowly sliding down the path of an unhealthy lifestyle and change is non-negotiable. Being breathless and tired is all the motivation I need to change my lifestyle.
With the energy you use in your dance videos I never knew you were going through this. Omoh I feel inspired by your story because I started blowing up after the birth of my daughter and now I know I need to do something 😢
I felt so much sincerity watching this video and I’m so happy for you and your family. You’re truly an amazing person for being able to pull through this while presenting a smile to the world. God bless you and keep you.
Hmmm I'm 23 years of age and I weigh 150plus and it's becoming a problem to me as well I can't do anything on my own I'm helpless I also have eating disorders and it's becoming a problem to me I lack discipline I've tried so hard but to no avail I still can't get the results I want You said a lot of things that felt like u were talking about me My mom also calls me in the middle of the night to talk about how much she loves me and wouldn't want to lose me to weight gaining if u should see me now you'll cry for me I cried whiles watching this video I don't have money for surgery but I pray God helps me to control and discipline myself before it's too late Thank u for speaking for us some people think it's just easy losing weight they don't know what we've been going through God bless you ma'am ❤️ I hope ur story helps me in losing weight through self discipline and consistency
You're so down to earth and hilarious. Thank God you are on your way to better health and that you realise that dieting and exercise don't end even with weight loss surgery. Also consider working with a psychologist or therapist to help you with any underlying mental issues that may be causing the eating disorder. Cheers and good luck ❤
This is why it's always good to be kind. Especially with our words on these social media streets. People go through a lot of suffering that no one knows about. Lets normalize being kind.
@@beverlyglasgow4831which one is “you don’t have sense”? 😂 if she was poor, could she have afforded the surgery. Be thinking far before you insult people
As someone that weighs over a 100kg, I understand everybit of what youve said, same way .y people will keep shouting, we dont want to loose you but beginning that journey has been impossible. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us. I pray for strength to do these because i also feel all of those symptoms, sometimes they say im lazy but nobody knows exactly how it feels, thank you ma.
Try time restricted eating I.e. intermittent fasting. My doctor sent me to a programme where I learned about it. It is suggested by some health services here in the UK. Since I started it, not only have I lost 15 kg but several health issues have also been reversed. It is now a permanent part of my lifestyle and I feel very well and healthy. You might want to look up the doctors here on TH-cam and what they say about it. All the best!
This life no balance ooo.... As a mum of one i weigh 50kg.... I always complain about body cos I want to be thick ....God really Blessed me with flat tummy and shape that people find it hard to believe I have a child already Even thou people appreciate the body I still find it hard to accept me.. Now I think I should grateful for this gift of body. Lord I'm Sorry for my ignorance and I'm also thankful For giving me a desirable shape... I receive the Grace to Love my self even the more.... Amen🙏🙇🏻♀️
Thank you for being sincere. Many will come and lie on how they lost 10 kgs in one week; making those who are not loosing weight fast or easily feel so discouraged. It's clear from your video that loosing weight is not easy, it takes time, it requires a lot of discipline and consistency. Thanks a lot ❤
Even with weight loss surgery , you have to discipline yourself if not it won’t work for you. Especially sleeve ; you can gain back if you don’t discipline yourself. Your pouch can stretch with time too . The weightloss surgery doesn’t mean you are free to eat what you like . It’s just a tool to aid you. Working out and eating right and adhering to those instructions aint easy but it’s worth it .
This is the most genuine weight loss journey I’ve watched. The discipline is what has made me not lose weight as much as wish but this video just boosted my spirit ❤
Thank you for your sincerity. I used to be slim but after 3 kids my tummy is still like it's harbouring another pregnancy😢😢 I've been in-between slimming and bloating up. Your story I just watched now made me drop the bread I bought that I wanted to eat. I'll continue to play your story in my head as I've determined to start all over again. Thank you.
Hi am Megan Adebayo I just want to give you this tip for free Go on a one year journey , With your meals With these tips I am giving you Research protein meals , take protein twice a day and cabs once a day Then gradually start doing portion control. The thing with weight loss is that you can't just cut off completely you will fall ill again What you need is a long time plan then eat your last meal 4 hrs before bed time . Your tummy will naturally go down Bless you
I used to wear a size 8/10 during my early adulthood around 21-22 years old, weighing around 65 - 70kg, which was ideal for my height and well-being. However, my current BMI calculation indicates that I'm moving towards obesity. Presently, I weigh around 94.something kg, roughly 95 kg even though I'm not even up to 30 years old and have no children. I'm thankful for your honesty and your successful journey. The self-discipline you mentioned, sis, is truly challenging, and I can relate to that. Your words have inspired me to prioritize my health and opt for cleaner eating habits. I'm determined to make an effort and, if possible, find an accountability partner. My job is quite stressful, and I tend to resort to "stress eating" during pressure-filled times, which seems to occur frequently nowadays. Additionally, the emotional challenges I've faced in these years, such as breakups and financial struggles, have not made things any easier.
truly inspiring. Discipline is really key and we are what we eat. went on no oil, no sugar, lots of water with only 4OZ of protein and 4OZ of veggies for 21days with my supplements for energy. i lost 16pounds just after 2 weeks . And like she said, the discipline to stay on course is real. glad you made the best decision for you and your family Anita. Congratulations
@@shirleybobbi6335 if you want to build muscle you have to take at least 0.7 - 1g * your body weight in pounds. So if you weigh 170pounds multiply by 0.7g or 1g. I'd advice as a beginner to start with 0.7g. And please drink alot of water if you take this much protein 🙏
It’s the honesty for me! Thanks for owning your truth! So glad u made it through.Not all of us fit afford surgery,we will keep working on our discipline to reach the desired weight. So help us God😊.Amen🙏🙏
You were a mentor to plus size people, but saving your save to hear these testimonies is indeed a happy moment for us. Thank God you did it and we are grateful to the Maker.
God has always been with you and will continue to be with you. An inspiring story to many who are going through a lot and will learn from this. Welldone Anita. Love you loads
I remember when we met at VOA season two and you called me your twin. I laughed, listening to your story now makes me understand the twin that I am to you. Thank you for sharing this. All these signs are what I have been battling with for over a year now. I don’t have the finances for a surgery but I am going to be quite disciplined on what I eat and also exercise. Thanks so much God bless you.
Thank you for being vulnerable in sharing your story with us. Thank God for safe surgery and healing. Just like you mentioned, over 80% of weight maintenance depends on what we put inside our body. Exercise helps to tone the body and helps us build muscle in addition to physical endurance and resilience. Thank God for you. I bet your family is happy with your result. Now you can flaunt your body and maintain your result. I pray that everyone who desires weightless surgery and are not able to meet the financial requirement will receive divine help from above, Amen.
Many individuals attempt to conceal their struggles with weight gain or loss by using the notion of self-love as a shield, Self-love also means being disciplined with exercising and eating healthy. Another common misconception regarding body positivity, particularly for heavy individuals, is the idea that promoting body acceptance might negatively impact their mental and physical health since they might not even love their bodies. This misconception arises from a misunderstanding of what body positivity truly entails. In reality, body positivity is about embracing and accepting one's body, regardless of its size or shape. It encourages self-love and self-acceptance. However, it doesn't promote unhealthy behaviors or neglect of one's physical health. True body positivity involves taking care of one's body, making choices like eating healthy being active or exercising, doing things that could promote one's well-being, and even seeking professional guidance when necessary. It's essential to strike a balance between loving oneself and making choices that promote a healthy lifestyle.
This Story is unfiltered and I am glad you decided to do this. Your partner is a good man for staying true by your side. Your discipline to lose weight came out of love and passion for those you truly care about. Thank you for choosing to do this and God bless your family.
What is wrong with me? I watched twice! The sincerity plus she made me laugh while I was pitying her at some point. God bless you my Warri sister & wife. Keep living in peace & good health ❤
Thank you for sharing your unfiltered vulnerability; it’s a rare thing these days in our filter-obsessed world. Many people can relate with this and now can also face their reality knowing they are not alone. I wish you greater health and wealth. And to anyone out there going through weakness of some sort, I pray you find your healing. Shalom!
Using statements like na fat I fat I no kill person, I love myself the way I am, body positivity etc is just a lie you tell yourself to escape from the reality of living a healthy life. I saw some nasty comments on your page. One said I follow you because of your body, this new body no fit you. Just imagine. You don’t know the health hazard of being overweight that’s why. Well done mama. Thanks for being honest and sincere. Health first abeg. Thank God you’re healthy now. Love you❤️❤️❤️
Your story is inspiring and this is the struggle a lot of people face. Some people don't know the struggle it takes to lose weight,eat healthy and stay healthy. I added so much weight after I put to bed too,but after I had hypertension crisis I knew I had to take steps to change ny lifestyle too so I started my healthy lifestyle. I've gone from a size 20-22 to a size 12-14 now. Now,I've gotten so much love for healthy things and also helping others find their foot too.
Please 🙏 how did you do it because right now am battling weight lost issues after fours kids pls If you can help I will really be grateful thank you am just 29
Honestly, losing weight requires an extraordinary discipline. I embarked on same journey in 2020( during lock down). And I'm glad it has become a lifestyle for me since then even after I put to bed. One thing people should know first before going on this journey is that, it's a gradual process, it's not magic because it requires discipline and that discipline comes with time.
Just when the Bible said "the truth shall set you free" that's exactly what you have done my lady , God bless for being truthful, we love you ❤️❤️❤️ other's would have jumped into this opportunity to deceive people, but no , you my lady is a woman of virtue, God bless you and keep you, bless your husband, indeed he found a good thing when he married and he obtained the greatest favor and shall keep obtaining till Jesus comes, congratulations 👏🎉 once again ma
I once told my daughter that you are better as a motivational speaker than a comedian. You have be an inspiration to me. Thank you for coming out with this part if your life. Love u plenty warri pikin
God bless you for this…… hearing the bitter and relatable truth from you has given me all the courage I need to lose extra weight. I lost so much of it in 2022, only to gain an extra in 2023 and still adding in 2024; I’m still battling nerve issues from my back to my legs, God abeg I need to wake up and do right by myself. It’s not easy, but one step at a time. I know I can do it and I will! Thank you Anita and you have a wonderful husband ❤❤ God bless you
I am so happy for you Anita. That was a very good decision. My friend’s husband had the same issue but after surgery, he lost all the weight and he became healthier, happier and younger. Much love from Canada. 🇨🇦 You are such a beautiful woman both in and out. God bless your husband and your doctor for walking with you throughout this journey. Remain blessed my dear. You are blessed and loved. ❤
I cried all through watching this video.. This is the story of my life😢😢😢.. I have been trying to loose weight for the longest of time.. from dieting to working out and falling back to the unhealthy life style.. I look at myself in the mirror and cry most times… ah.. na only me know wetin I Dey face… God Abeg, right now I just need money to do this surgery cos it seems like the only way out… Meanwhile you look amazing Ma’am Anita.. Thank God for life and thanks for sharing this story❤❤❤
I feel I'm the one you're talking to right now, God bless you for sharing this with us, you will not die before your time. Ending of June I nearly gave up on myself, people don't really know what I pass tru inside, I'm a single mother, 27years old and weighing 100.5kg, I look older than my age. I took that decision to be healthy & better for myself. I registered gym and started dieting. Thanks God for Xfit Awka , I got alot of motivation there and today I'm 90kg. I know that I'm not yet there but I'm very close to my success. I pray God help me to be consistent and also to make it a life style 🙏
Congratulations, losing 10kg through working out and healthy eating is not easy at all!! All the best as you continue, you will surely reach your target weight and maintain it well for the rest of your long life by God’s grace.
Exactly my story, single mom and 28 years old. Many people find it hard to believe my age looking at my size. Thank God for baby face at least. I’m saving up for a gastric sleeve surgery, I need to lose about 35kg. I’m presently 102kg with a BMI of 40+… morbidly obese 🤦🏻♀️
Don't forget intermittent fasting, it helps and continuity is key. You need to find what works for your body and your lifestyle. Remember this "if it's bitter, it's good for you, if it's sweet, it will probably kill you slowly". Good luck on your journey to living healthier. 😊
Thank you so much. I was just crying out to God for help when He reminded me of the title of your video and say go watch it. My journey starts now. I like you I have started and stopped so many times thank you so much for sharing your transparency unmatched.
You and Eniola Badmus's honesty is second to none....... God continue to bless you guys as you're not misleading people and not make them feel worthless especially people that are battling with same issue

My goodness, you are a very strong woman. Anita thank you so much for truly and honestly telling us what happened and to think that you never looked like what you were going through. You were battling and yet you put a smile on our faces every single year of this battle.

My sister! If I marry the wrong person by now I for don die
Marry the wrong person and lose weight for free 😂
Yes ooo marry right ❤nd everything will work in palce
Respect Girl . Much Respect! You too Gbaski
I am encouraged. I am good to drop this comment there so that any time someone likes it, I will come back and watch this again. I need discipline.
I was always very slim from childhood till even after giving birth to my daughter who is now 19. I'm an ex dancer. My weight gain started after I got married in 2010. In 2017 I decided to change my life. I went from 92 kg to 67kg. Today.... I'm very much into sports and I eat a lot, but healthy foods. I eat fish and seafood. Only eat meat once in weeks. I pound my own yam, I dry my own amala plantains, I make my own juice. I learnt how to swim, how to ride a bicycle, go on a long walk and go to the gym... I'm now a dance and fitness teacher at the age of 42 !! And I look like I'm still in my early 20s.and I use bible verses to encourage myself and how I'm sorry for destroying my body that is supposed to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Love from Germany !!
Anita, I really appreciate you.
My take home is that " you no fit lie to anybody"
I go do my own naturally oh, white bread byeeeee
Keep it up my dear
I am glad I came across this. I have been battling sleep apnea and later HBP because of my size, I refused to go on drugs because I felt I was too young to start a lifelong journey of taking routine drugs but my BP kept going high and got very dangerous because my weight increased still until I resigned to fate and decided to start BP drugs three months ago.
The culprit? Coke and Pepsi are the major ones, others are spicy foods with lots of sodium, I crave this almost every day.
I can relate to this story because several times I've tried to start by even stopping carbonated drinks, I start and after a day or two I go back and become worse, at times as much as three pet bottles a day. Yes, I claim I'm a foodie and don't joke with cake, I'm so shameless about it.
Watching this has encouraged me, even though I might not think of surgery yet, I will keep working on avoiding the poisons I have gotten addicted to. Thank you for sharing your story
But you can bur❤! I believe in you
Omo some women really hit the husband jackpot in this life ❤️

Who else is naturally in love with her. She is so gifted. Even her story made me laugh so hard because she still found a way to make it funny by the way she explained it. Mama may the lord keep strengthening you ❤❤❤
I love her🥰🥰🥰🥰 see how far she come 😊
Amennnnn
Ph
Ok sir 1😊😊
Omo, ah too love her oo
Even though u were going through health challenges u still managed to put a smile on our faces
U are a strong woman N thank u☺️
I'm telling you. People are really passing through alot
Thank you for your heartfelt story. As a doctor, hearing how you described your symptoms and the diagnosis, despite all the glam and packaging at that time,is the most profound account for me. Many people are just dead men and women walking. We can still do all sorts but in reality, the body is crying out for help. I pray for more blessings upon you and your family. Choosing to bless our generation with this truth will save millions and God will take you to a new level of glory that even you cannot imagine. Thank You!
Thanks Doc.
Please ma, if I may ask how much does such surgery cost?
@@oyindamolaolawumi4922 Every center and health system will have their price. Like Ms Anita mentioned severally,she was in the care of her doctor who recommended the Surgery. There are also different types of weight loss surgery. It’s not one fits all. I would recommend to speak with a licensed and qualified doctor who would really evaluate what needs to be done and then can give a price.
Amen IN JESUS NAME
You are the realest Nigerian celebrity. I salute you . I salute your husband 🫡. I want to be like him 🫡
I just watched your video twice and am crying, bcoz after I gave birth. I started having knees pains. Trust Africans I said and church also said it’s spiritual. And I migrated from 80 to105kg. I was having severe pains in my hand. I went to the chemist and they were asking me if I hv diabetes? Then I there I knew I had to lose weight, i checked my data and my BMI said I was currently on obsesity 2. I was waiting to give birth to all my kids before losing weight. But thank God I started dieting and now am 98kg and will still go down.
Thank you for giving me more inspiration. My knees currently hurt now but I won’t be discouraged.
You can get proper walking/jogging shoes with cushion to alleviate knee pains.Some of those low or high heel sandals or shoes that some people wear can be harmful to the knees in the long run.
You definitely were talking to me .Thank you for being so vulnerable with us and sharing your journey xxx
Thank you for watching
I wish I could give a billion likes, you are a real life role model for sharing your journey so real as it is. Everyone has some ugly and by sharing your journey, you have inspired a lot of black women like me in similar situations.
It’s body positivity that is killing most people in this present age
I hope we take time to understand that keeping fit is for yourself not anyone
I was the event planner for that Fidelity End of Year Event. I saw you that day. You were so beautiful in your white pant suit. You totally killed your set as usual. You showed no sign of pain or distress. You are consummate professional. Thank you so much for "keeping it real" and sharing your journey!
I was there that day and I would never have imagined she went through all that. We even took pictures and she was so energetic as usual. I’m happy for her. Super duper happy.
I just felt you were talking to me directly, I’m trying to loose weight but the body is not willing.. then telling myself to love myself the way I am.. but hearing this now, I’m motivated and ready for the weight loss ..
It’s a good decision on the weight loss surgery, you look so fineee 🥰 mama … now the peace of mind is restored back to you … congratulations!!! You’re a strong woman ❤️
This is the height of being vulnerable ❤😊. Itvtakes a lot to share this experience and you have done so to encourage and help others. Thank you. As a morbidly obese person, i have chosen to admit ive been cerelass with my eating, i have over indulged, i have consistently gained all the weight by myself and i am a FOOD ADDICT!.Now , by the grace of God Almighty , i choose life, i choose health, i choose slim and fit body. I decide to work hard on changing my nutritional lifestyle . I cling to your words today, " we need to normalize being fit, slim and healthy". It is a service to God, self and humanity.
Overcoming any form of addiction is an uphill battle but we will win! God bless you on your journey
The fact that you were going through health challenges but you still put a smile on our face is amazing congratulations mama
Congratulations 🎉.. Nice and truthful story.
This is a great lesson for all of us. Thanks so much for opening your world to all of us. Shame on anyone in advance who wants to use your words against you. If we can do surgery to get rid of fibroids, hernia, appendicitis, etc., why can we do the same for fats? A friend called me last month complaining about difficulty in walking. He went to the hospital and was told his veins were getting small. He called me and laughed about it. Last Monday he had a stroke and went into a coma. Sadly, I lost him this morning. Our body continues to communicate to us but out of ignorance, carelessness, or busy schedules. Let's take our health seriously.
So sorry for your loss may his soul rest in peace
Wow. So sorry for your loss
Eating disorder is also a form of addiction. Thank God you got help. There is no shame in admitting to needing help. Shout out to your hubby and your family 💖
Even when you are serious you still funny mama. Do appreciate you for sharing such wonderful story... many shall benefit from it. We love you sis. ❤
I’m so happy she was honest and bold enough to tell us the truth,God bless you sis
As a person who has struggled with my weight I understand how hard making the decision to go for WLS.
I too made that choice and scheduled WLS for February 2024.
Meanwhile I have done a number of things that have helped me lose 11kg over 3 months.
1. Stopped drinking my calories>>> no fizzy drinks, juices, milkshake, sweet tea etc. I drink water + black coffee and occasionally dry red wine.
2. Stopped buying and eating junk snacks. (lays, pringle chips, biscuits, popcorn, sweets)
3. Intermittent fasting. 20:4 week days (stop eating 7pm and then eat next day between 3-7pm)
Weekends 16:8.
I reduced carbs gradually + increased protien.
4. Walk 6000 steps 5 times a week.
One of the things I find helpful is giving myself time. Focusing on building consistency with my new habits rather than focussing on the scale.
Another is making small incremental changes. I started with just cutting out unhealthy drinks. Then added Intermittent fasting. Then gradually started reducing carbs, then walking 5000 steps.
I have tried extreme changes all at once ... that didn't work for me. I would lose and gain back.
Now I'm doing small but long term changes gradually.
It's taken years to accumulate the weight. It will take time to shed it off and keep it off.
Goodluck to everyone whose fighting for their health every day.
Well done. I am rooting for you. wish you all the best xx
Well done love the spirit. ❤
Thanks so much, you made me understand what intermittent fasting means, I will start from today.
Losing weight is a lifestyle journey. You have made a great improvement. I am a nutritionist Dietitian and I must say, it's a gradual process. More grace
Thank you so much for sharing.
"What is life if you're NOT healthy?" Powerfull words. Thank you my sister for the encouragement. I've been on & off on my journey, this is my first time watching you somehow you just pop-up on my feed. I appreciate you sharing your story. Much love from Florida😊
Lizzo needs to hear this. She's out there with her crazy idea of self love and that it's ok to be a plus size and eat whatever you want. Thank you for this real warri pikin.
First video I'm watching on TH-cam without skipping any part...... This is so inspiring
Gosh! People battle with so much outside social media yet keep motivating us online and we just assume all is well with them. You looked so ravishing in that white suit you wore for the Fidelity end of the year show and I mean who could have thought you were in so much pain? You're simply a very strong and resilient woman ma'am. Thank God for seeing you through the surgery and thank you for sharing your story with us all, it's really inspiring! Thank you again🤗🤗
Thank you for watching
“I said no to this weight!” What a powerful statement sister! 🦋
Exactly
No be lie o
Yes I never people had such weight loss issues
I always thought it trivial
Such an eye opener
This story was so emotional for me and I cried because I actually put myself in your shoes. You are really a brave woman to share your story. It’s not all about body positivity when it starts giving you health issues, body positivity should come with being healthy. A healthy body= healthy soul and mind. Thanks for sharing ma’am🥰❤️
❣❣❣❣❣ saw this on IG, glad I found it here. You are amazing and such an inspiration, I love how real you are. As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder I get it.
Chai I cried, nobody knows what anyone is going through, RWP went through all this and she still made us laugh, God bless her and continue to keep her for all of us❤❤
Literally cried watching this dealing with any issue that affects one health is really a serious one it affects ones mental health
Cheers to Uncle Ikechukwu🫶🏼🥂🥂 He’s really a good man. GOD BLESS HIM ABUNDANTLY IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN AND AMEN 🙏🏻
I am really happy she came out with the truth, I was praying she does not come and tell us it was one tea or the other because I already knew what it was from day one. My respect and love for you is on a new level now.
Some of you are really funny, how you take know, abi na you be her doctor?
Thank you soo much for being honest. My respect for you don Tripple❤
@@Tabsisblessed it’s not hard to know when you’re really aware of these things and if you look at the rate at which she’s shrinking.
I respect her for owning her story and not trying to deny it, the surgery on its own is not the easy way out like she mentioned but it helps.
Monalisa won't like this.
Body positivity person dey die go.
You are a brave woman.
I really like how you made this video light with jokes despite how sad it was … this was very educative and inspiring ❤️
Imagine going through all of this and she's still entertaining us😢
Exactly people go through a lot. We need to be kind
For real though
God bless you. Thank you for sharing the truth and not monetizing it like some people would have. God will continue to keep you in perfect health as you have the strength to carry on with it as well. We love you Anita ❤️
Same issue I am going through
I was size 12 bfore now I weigh 117
I have cried a lot bt I won’t give up
Exactly
I have always respected you. But you have taken that to a whole new level now with this sincerity. Thank you
You are indeed a child of grace.
After all that you have been through, not many people enjoy the grace to tell the story!
Honestly, this has inspired me, I lost over 30kg in 2020,and was happy and healthy, and then I began to over eat again 😭😭😭my husband is seriously complaining right now and listening to this now?? I have made up my mind to return to dieting. It's the best way to go. Thank you❤🌹🙏
Thanks for sharing this with us. I’ve been battling weight loss for awhile since I was on medically prescribed drugs that eventually messed up my hormones. And you sharing your experience and not lying to make plus sized people buy pills that will never works says a lot about your care for humanity. Thank you.
I watch 20 min video without skipping it, it’s must be the realness video . Thanks. May God bless you and your husband.
As in....I didn't even want the video to end. Me dt is impatient watching videos
Whoa! People already thought that you would lie and give credit to a slimming tea or weightloss regime 😢. Im happy for you. We must begin to teach our children to eat right from childhood. It is extremely difficult to change once adulthood hits! Gos bless you RWP 🎉🎉
My best line .... "What is life if you are not healthy?" I thank God for your life. Thank you very much for sharing your story.
I love you. Seriously we need so much discipline to achieve the weight loss . I was weighing 84kg during the lock down period and I followed a diet. No carbohydrates, no sugar. I ate so much fruits especially watermelon, proteins, a lot of pepper soup but not with the scotched pepper. I used Cayenne pepper instead. I ate a lot of vegetable, drank moringa mixed with citron and lemon grass with no sugar. To be sincere with us all I Lost about 14kg within 2 and a half month. We need a lot of discipline. I mean a lot
I ❤❤
Serious?
Pls can I chart you privately?
Weightloss no be your mate. I followed a strict diet and went from 88kg to 61.5kg between October 2nd and December. Omo if you see me then.. discipline was my second name. My neck pain me when saying No to people. No carbs… no sugar. Just vegetables and protein with detox water. My phone na meal plans full am… It was crazy losing 27kg, people got worried and i had to stop
@@chinenyeoguebie8084please I need this, can u guide me pls?
Despite all these challenges you still carried on with your hustle diligently..I love your determination
Thanks
I'm a large woman, and we live in a world where we all want to be accepted, but the truth is when one's weight becomes a problem, you are slowly sliding down the path of an unhealthy lifestyle and change is non-negotiable.
Being breathless and tired is all the motivation I need to change my lifestyle.
With the energy you use in your dance videos I never knew you were going through this. Omoh I feel inspired by your story because I started blowing up after the birth of my daughter and now I know I need to do something 😢
Thinking seriously, she has shared her story and it’s inspiring.
Aswr
Yeah, it's Teni we are now waiting for to hear her story.
I felt so much sincerity watching this video and I’m so happy for you and your family. You’re truly an amazing person for being able to pull through this while presenting a smile to the world. God bless you and keep you.
Amen.
Hmmm I'm 23 years of age and I weigh 150plus and it's becoming a problem to me as well I can't do anything on my own I'm helpless I also have eating disorders and it's becoming a problem to me
I lack discipline I've tried so hard but to no avail I still can't get the results I want
You said a lot of things that felt like u were talking about me
My mom also calls me in the middle of the night to talk about how much she loves me and wouldn't want to lose me to weight gaining if u should see me now you'll cry for me
I cried whiles watching this video I don't have money for surgery but I pray God helps me to control and discipline myself before it's too late
Thank u for speaking for us some people think it's just easy losing weight they don't know what we've been going through
God bless you ma'am ❤️
I hope ur story helps me in losing weight through self discipline and consistency
ooh dear, may God come through for you
@@womanwithapurpose3147 Amen and Amen Mama 😢
You're so down to earth and hilarious. Thank God you are on your way to better health and that you realise that dieting and exercise don't end even with weight loss surgery. Also consider working with a psychologist or therapist to help you with any underlying mental issues that may be causing the eating disorder. Cheers and good luck ❤
So you were going through all these and you were still entertaining us.... Wow 😮. Thank God for your life.
Do you get…omo these celebrity dey try abeg
This is why it's always good to be kind. Especially with our words on these social media streets. People go through a lot of suffering that no one knows about. Lets normalize being kind.
“Discipline will take you Places Motivation can't “ . But then Money also stops nonsense, we thank God for Providence . ❤🎉
You don't have sense. She has all the money and still couldn't loose weight so it is not money but rather discipline.
@@beverlyglasgow4831I don’t think you understood her comment. If she didn’t have money she wouldn’t have been able to get the procedure done.
@@beverlyglasgow4831which one is “you don’t have sense”? 😂 if she was poor, could she have afforded the surgery. Be thinking far before you insult people
As someone that weighs over a 100kg, I understand everybit of what youve said, same way .y people will keep shouting, we dont want to loose you but beginning that journey has been impossible. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us. I pray for strength to do these because i also feel all of those symptoms, sometimes they say im lazy but nobody knows exactly how it feels, thank you ma.
Try time restricted eating I.e. intermittent fasting. My doctor sent me to a programme where I learned about it. It is suggested by some health services here in the UK. Since I started it, not only have I lost 15 kg but several health issues have also been reversed. It is now a permanent part of my lifestyle and I feel very well and healthy. You might want to look up the doctors here on TH-cam and what they say about it. All the best!
This life no balance ooo.... As a mum of one i weigh 50kg.... I always complain about body cos I want to be thick ....God really Blessed me with flat tummy and shape that people find it hard to believe I have a child already Even thou people appreciate the body I still find it hard to accept me..
Now I think I should grateful for this gift of body.
Lord I'm Sorry for my ignorance and I'm also thankful For giving me a desirable shape...
I receive the Grace to Love my self even the more....
Amen🙏🙇🏻♀️
Thank you for being sincere. Many will come and lie on how they lost 10 kgs in one week; making those who are not loosing weight fast or easily feel so discouraged. It's clear from your video that loosing weight is not easy, it takes time, it requires a lot of discipline and consistency. Thanks a lot ❤
You are welcome.
Even with weight loss surgery , you have to discipline yourself if not it won’t work for you. Especially sleeve ; you can gain back if you don’t discipline yourself. Your pouch can stretch with time too . The weightloss surgery doesn’t mean you are free to eat what you like . It’s just a tool to aid you. Working out and eating right and adhering to those instructions aint easy but it’s worth it .
This is the most genuine weight loss journey I’ve watched. The discipline is what has made me not lose weight as much as wish but this video just boosted my spirit ❤
Why on earth are you using a photo of a black woman with that username ????
I’m telling you discipline is something else😩😩😩😩
@@londone989 I'm quite lost
Thank you for your sincerity. I used to be slim but after 3 kids my tummy is still like it's harbouring another pregnancy😢😢 I've been in-between slimming and bloating up. Your story I just watched now made me drop the bread I bought that I wanted to eat. I'll continue to play your story in my head as I've determined to start all over again. Thank you.
Hi am Megan Adebayo
I just want to give you this tip for free
Go on a one year journey ,
With your meals
With these tips I am giving you
Research protein meals , take protein twice a day and cabs once a day
Then gradually start doing portion control.
The thing with weight loss is that you can't just cut off completely you will fall ill again
What you need is a long time plan then eat your last meal 4 hrs before bed time .
Your tummy will naturally go down
Bless you
Not a comedian. A real motivational speaker. Listened from beginning to end. God bless you for your resilience. Choosing the right partner is gold!
I used to wear a size 8/10 during my early adulthood around 21-22 years old, weighing around 65 - 70kg, which was ideal for my height and well-being. However, my current BMI calculation indicates that I'm moving towards obesity. Presently, I weigh around 94.something kg, roughly 95 kg even though I'm not even up to 30 years old and have no children. I'm thankful for your honesty and your successful journey. The self-discipline you mentioned, sis, is truly challenging, and I can relate to that. Your words have inspired me to prioritize my health and opt for cleaner eating habits. I'm determined to make an effort and, if possible, find an accountability partner. My job is quite stressful, and I tend to resort to "stress eating" during pressure-filled times, which seems to occur frequently nowadays. Additionally, the emotional challenges I've faced in these years, such as breakups and financial struggles, have not made things any easier.
Your story is as exact as what I’m facing now
You're not along sis , you just told my story too. Currently weighing 95kg and it's been one hell of a ride . It seems the whole world is against me .
🌹🌹
I can imagine all these. I have a WhatsApp accountability group I formed,if you'll love to join you can let me know
I am with you sis.
truly inspiring. Discipline is really key and we are what we eat. went on no oil, no sugar, lots of water with only 4OZ of protein and 4OZ of veggies for 21days with my supplements for energy. i lost 16pounds just after 2 weeks . And like she said, the discipline to stay on course is real. glad you made the best decision for you and your family Anita. Congratulations
Please the protein how do I know the average per day.
@@shirleybobbi6335 if you want to build muscle you have to take at least 0.7 - 1g * your body weight in pounds. So if you weigh 170pounds multiply by 0.7g or 1g. I'd advice as a beginner to start with 0.7g. And please drink alot of water if you take this much protein 🙏
It's good that a celebrity is mentioning this. So it can go round ❗
You're so brave. Thank God you made the decision and thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for coming out and being vulnerable to share your story. Also thank you for telling us your truth.
You are welcome
It’s the honesty for me! Thanks for owning your truth! So glad u made it through.Not all of us fit afford surgery,we will keep working on our discipline to reach the desired weight. So help us God😊.Amen🙏🙏
You were a mentor to plus size people, but saving your save to hear these testimonies is indeed a happy moment for us. Thank God you did it and we are grateful to the Maker.
God has always been with you and will continue to be with you. An inspiring story to many who are going through a lot and will learn from this. Welldone Anita. Love you loads
I remember when we met at VOA season two and you called me your twin.
I laughed, listening to your story now makes me understand the twin that I am to you. Thank you for sharing this.
All these signs are what I have been battling with for over a year now. I don’t have the finances for a surgery but I am going to be quite disciplined on what I eat and also exercise.
Thanks so much God bless you.
Thank you for being vulnerable in sharing your story with us. Thank God for safe surgery and healing. Just like you mentioned, over 80% of weight maintenance depends on what we put inside our body. Exercise helps to tone the body and helps us build muscle in addition to physical endurance and resilience. Thank God for you. I bet your family is happy with your result. Now you can flaunt your body and maintain your result. I pray that everyone who desires weightless surgery and are not able to meet the financial requirement will receive divine help from above, Amen.
Insanely grateful for how pure and raw this video is 🙏🏾
Many individuals attempt to conceal their struggles with weight gain or loss by using the notion of self-love as a shield, Self-love also means being disciplined with exercising and eating healthy.
Another common misconception
regarding body positivity, particularly for heavy individuals, is the idea that promoting body acceptance might negatively impact their mental and physical health since they might not even love their bodies. This misconception arises from a misunderstanding of what body positivity truly entails.
In reality, body positivity is about embracing and accepting one's body, regardless of its size or shape. It encourages self-love and self-acceptance. However, it doesn't promote unhealthy behaviors or neglect of one's physical health. True body positivity involves taking care of one's body, making choices like eating healthy being active or
exercising, doing things that could promote one's well-being, and even
seeking professional guidance when
necessary.
It's essential to strike a balance between loving oneself and making choices that promote a healthy lifestyle.
This Story is unfiltered and I am glad you decided to do this. Your partner is a good man for staying true by your side. Your discipline to lose weight came out of love and passion for those you truly care about. Thank you for choosing to do this and God bless your family.
She is truly a wonderful person , we need people like her in Nigeria that speak the truth and do not make money off people by spreading lies.
What is wrong with me? I watched twice!
The sincerity plus she made me laugh while I was pitying her at some point. God bless you my Warri sister & wife. Keep living in peace & good health ❤
My true woman. Wears her heart on her sleeve.
The love i have for this girl eh... even she no know. ❤
Thank you for sharing your unfiltered vulnerability; it’s a rare thing these days in our filter-obsessed world. Many people can relate with this and now can also face their reality knowing they are not alone. I wish you greater health and wealth. And to anyone out there going through weakness of some sort, I pray you find your healing. Shalom!
Using statements like na fat I fat I no kill person, I love myself the way I am, body positivity etc is just a lie you tell yourself to escape from the reality of living a healthy life. I saw some nasty comments on your page. One said I follow you because of your body, this new body no fit you. Just imagine. You don’t know the health hazard of being overweight that’s why. Well done mama. Thanks for being honest and sincere. Health first abeg. Thank God you’re healthy now. Love you❤️❤️❤️
Your story is inspiring and this is the struggle a lot of people face.
Some people don't know the struggle it takes to lose weight,eat healthy and stay healthy. I added so much weight after I put to bed too,but after I had hypertension crisis I knew I had to take steps to change ny lifestyle too so I started my healthy lifestyle. I've gone from a size 20-22 to a size 12-14 now. Now,I've gotten so much love for healthy things and also helping others find their foot too.
Please 🙏 how did you do it because right now am battling weight lost issues after fours kids pls If you can help I will really be grateful thank you am just 29
Wow...
Could you help? I want to really loose weight and eat healthy.
Pls help me too what did you do
I need to live a your plan as well help sis
Honestly, losing weight requires an extraordinary discipline. I embarked on same journey in 2020( during lock down). And I'm glad it has become a lifestyle for me since then even after I put to bed.
One thing people should know first before going on this journey is that, it's a gradual process, it's not magic because it requires discipline and that discipline comes with time.
U are the realest person I’ve ever come across thank u
Just when the Bible said "the truth shall set you free" that's exactly what you have done my lady , God bless for being truthful, we love you ❤️❤️❤️ other's would have jumped into this opportunity to deceive people, but no , you my lady is a woman of virtue, God bless you and keep you, bless your husband, indeed he found a good thing when he married and he obtained the greatest favor and shall keep obtaining till Jesus comes, congratulations 👏🎉 once again ma
I once told my daughter that you are better as a motivational speaker than a comedian. You have be an inspiration to me. Thank you for coming out with this part if your life. Love u plenty warri pikin
You are welcome.
She's also a really great comedian. She's a natural.
Very true @fitness and walkout.
She is great at both and more
I respect you for this ma,you are really a champion,not all celebrities will do this,instead they will lie that is a tea or herb. God bless you ma.
Am telling you.
God bless you for this…… hearing the bitter and relatable truth from you has given me all the courage I need to lose extra weight. I lost so much of it in 2022, only to gain an extra in 2023 and still adding in 2024; I’m still battling nerve issues from my back to my legs, God abeg I need to wake up and do right by myself. It’s not easy, but one step at a time. I know I can do it and I will! Thank you Anita and you have a wonderful husband ❤❤ God bless you
I am so happy for you Anita. That was a very good decision.
My friend’s husband had the same issue but after surgery, he lost all the weight and he became healthier, happier and younger.
Much love from Canada. 🇨🇦
You are such a beautiful woman both in and out. God bless your husband and your doctor for walking with you throughout this journey. Remain blessed my dear. You are blessed and loved. ❤
I cried all through watching this video.. This is the story of my life😢😢😢.. I have been trying to loose weight for the longest of time.. from dieting to working out and falling back to the unhealthy life style.. I look at myself in the mirror and cry most times… ah.. na only me know wetin I Dey face… God Abeg, right now I just need money to do this surgery cos it seems like the only way out…
Meanwhile you look amazing Ma’am Anita.. Thank God for life and thanks for sharing this story❤❤❤
I feel I'm the one you're talking to right now, God bless you for sharing this with us, you will not die before your time. Ending of June I nearly gave up on myself, people don't really know what I pass tru inside, I'm a single mother, 27years old and weighing 100.5kg, I look older than my age. I took that decision to be healthy & better for myself. I registered gym and started dieting. Thanks God for Xfit Awka , I got alot of motivation there and today I'm 90kg. I know that I'm not yet there but I'm very close to my success. I pray God help me to be consistent and also to make it a life style 🙏
Congratulations, losing 10kg through working out and healthy eating is not easy at all!! All the best as you continue, you will surely reach your target weight and maintain it well for the rest of your long life by God’s grace.
Exactly my story, single mom and 28 years old. Many people find it hard to believe my age looking at my size. Thank God for baby face at least. I’m saving up for a gastric sleeve surgery, I need to lose about 35kg. I’m presently 102kg with a BMI of 40+… morbidly obese 🤦🏻♀️
@@joyafor280 let's connect sis. My weight too is killing me looking older than my real age. Trying to save up too for gastric sleeve
Don't forget intermittent fasting, it helps and continuity is key. You need to find what works for your body and your lifestyle. Remember this "if it's bitter, it's good for you, if it's sweet, it will probably kill you slowly". Good luck on your journey to living healthier. 😊
So true, just know what works for you
Thank you so much. I was just crying out to God for help when He reminded me of the title of your video and say go watch it. My journey starts now. I like you I have started and stopped so many times thank you so much for sharing your transparency unmatched.
You and Eniola Badmus's honesty is second to none....... God continue to bless you guys as you're not misleading people and not make them feel worthless especially people that are battling with same issue
Eniola badmus never shared hers so I wonder y you mentioned her
@@dexosa she did
She did in an interview but I can’t remember with whom maybe Chude….. it’s online, so you can search for it, and note that it’s not everyone that can come out like this but Eniola didn’t hide hers as well
Keeping fit should be really normalised. 👌
Thank you Anita for preaching this. There is no gain in eating disorder. We all need discipline.
It's the honesty for me! This is a wake up call for all of us to be more intentional about eating healthy and working out!
Thank you for being truthful and encouraging others. Am so proud of you, Momma.❤
Your story is so inspiring ma 🥺 although I’m a slim person I still feel like I’m not living or eating healthy . This is just a motivation thank you ma ❤️❤️
My goodness, you are a very strong woman. Anita thank you so much for truly and honestly telling us what happened and to think that you never looked like what you were going through.
You were battling and yet you put a smile on our faces every single year of this battle.
We don’t look like what we go truuuu❤️🥹
You have always been an inspiration to many. I'm very happy I didn't judge you when I saw your recent pictures. God bless you.
God bless ikechukwu evey woman's dream😢
