Watch my IGTV 12 minute video below to hear how 14kg melted off me during lockdown!

I made New Year’s resolutions with my students at the start of the year (they always hold me accountable😎), and I shared with them that one of my New Year’s resolution was for the Lord to shrink me for health reasons. I literally prayed ‘less of me Lord’…and then came lockdown 😂

I spent lockdown social distancing from my fridge and snack cupboard but not from my freezer with @magnum 😂🤫

Last year August I was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome. As a result my body had gone through significant trauma, to the point of resuscitation. I had put on so much weight on top of the weight that I was already trying to lose pre-sickness!

To the glory of God I have made great recovery, and while I still have a little while to go, my consultant advised that addressing my weight was imperative for my recovery.

I had previously tried losing weight on my own accord, thinking that I could exercise and then eat whatever I liked but it just wasn’t working (who’s been there? 😅🙋🏾‍♀️). Moreover, the diagnosis of PCOS made my sugar cravings make sense, and amplified the struggle with losing weight! My PCOS sisters know what I’m talking about!! Add insulin-resistance to the mix and lockdown, everything was screaming…’you can’t do it Kanayo’. But God works through the setbacks 😎🙌🏾.

I signed up for @foodtherapyng’s 12 week program (meal plan, exercises and accountability after seeing @omojuly’s phenomenal progress).
My body was still very weak so I didn’t do any rigourous exercises, I kept it to walking at length, as much as possible (ideally 5k a day).

I offloaded 10kg on the 12 week program and more after the program using the skills and discipline I had learnt. All while consuming my darling @magnum.

There is no magic to it.
Calorie counting 🤝 eat what you like with discipline 🤝 Exercise.
That’s all. The goal will always be HEALTHY.

I’ll be a year older next week and 14kg lighter 😂💃🏾😝 • I made New Year’s resolutions with my students at the start of the year (they always hold me accountable😎), and I shared with them that one of my New Year’s resolution was for the Lord to shrink me for health reasons. I literally prayed ‘less of me Lord’…and then came lockdown 😂 • I spent lockdown social distancing from my fridge and snack cupboard but not from my freezer with @magnum 😂🤫 • Have I shrunk? 😇😎 From 91.5kg (Jan 2020) to 76.9kg (Aug 2020) • Keep an eye out for my next post so we can have a chat about how to offload (😂😂 I’m so aff) when your goal is ‘HEALTHY’ and not skinny. When your goal isn’t to die by rigorous exercises in the process of losing weight. When your goal isn’t to replace your meals with endless juices or oxygen. And when your goal is to eat your @magnum guilt-free. • Follow @foodtherapyng before the next post! • #ShrinkMeLord #Shrunk #ProudOfMe #Snatched #LockdownDidNotAttackMyWaistline #BeforeAndAfter #WeightLoss #RealTips #DoableWeightLoss #ICantComeAndKillMyself #WeightLossSecrets #TheGoalIsHealthy #HealthyWeight #LoseWeightForHealth #HealthyNotSkinny #GoalGetter

I do everything with the Lord on my side, so of course I had a set of prayer points which I cheekily prayed on my journey. You can read and save them below!
