I will tell you a bit about me, I have always been overweight since childhood, I believe I inherited obese genes from my dad’s side as all my paternal aunties are obese. I am 5 8 and weighed 218lbs (99kg) at my heaviest. Currently, I weigh 165lbs (75kg) which means I have lost 52lbs (24kg) in total and kept this weight off for over 3 years. After my 2nd child, my waist size was 39 inches which I have now managed to keep down to 29 inches.
Right from high school, I was body shamed and called all sorts of names, fat, giant, ugly, heavy, just name it. I love food and am proud to say I thought eating lots of food equates to happiness. Apart from the fact that I am one of those people that are likely to gain weight due to my genes, the paternal side of my family are big-boned and heavy. Even with all the shaming, I couldn’t stop eating, I made the best sweet and sour foods and ate myself to satisfaction, feeling full every night just before bedtime.
One day, myself and friends in high school went in for a health check. After my weigh in, the health assistant made a side comment “You weigh too much for a 15 year old, ugly fat fool”. Though it was so long ago, I recall her exact words which made me develop a low self esteem, I constantly looked down on myself and became very shy. Locked myself indoors and ate some more. I started to experience heart palpitations after short walks from the class to the dormitory area which was less than a mile. With health problems looming at only 16 years of age, I finally decided to do something different about my weight. I stopped putting the blame on food, or my genes, or my friends. I mentally made up my mind to make a change…
It’s been a long and rocky journey. I started off with fad diets, cabbage soup, shakes, low fat, low carbs, juice diets, just name it, I have tried it all. I also tried the better options such as eating healthy portions, tracking, going to the gym, intermittent fasting etc. Some months, I lost weight, then gained it back and the cycle continues non-stop. I became the queen of YO-YO dieting.
I reached my dream body goals with support from my Accountable partner on a daily basis.
