Reflecting on the past year, my weight has been a persistent challenge. The struggle with my body image has been a source of unhappiness, affecting me deeply. As I approached 2024, I was determined not to carry the same negative mindset about my weight. Through consistent effort and the support of the right people, I managed to shed 100lbs (2501b → 159|b), but there's more progress to be made.

Sharing personal struggles like this is always daunting, but Persistently showing up for yourself and maintaining consistency can lead to significant achievements in life.

My goal for 2024 is to be honest with myself and embrace vulnerability by posting about my journey, regardless of others' opinions. I've reached a point where I am content both mentally and physically.

To those still in the process of losing weight, please don't lose heart-it takes time, but the journey is worthwhile.

Keep pushing forward, and don't give up on yourself





Many people have been asking me about where I got my sport bra or outfit from. I've actually created an Amazon storefront, which I've linked in this description. So, if you want to know where I got everything, you can simply click the link and browse through it.

    Some of these aunties need deliverance. I’m glad you prioritised your peace of mind and left that church. I don’t know why some people think it’s okay to comment on anyone’s body or life choices especially at their big age. And it’s always unsolicited, like who asked you? Mind the God you serve and the business that pays you. I feel so upset that you had to go through all of that but I’m grateful you’ve overcome that stage in your life and you’re becoming the person you want to be ❤❤
  • I saw your short about you weight loss, cried; came to watch your story and cried again. I’m 5’9 and used to be 170 lbs. every woman in my life told me I was too thin and my head was too big for my body. I looked sick. I don’t feel like my diet had changed but it crushed my spirit and my activity level plummeted. I gained SO much weight, the last time I looked at the scale was at 252 and then I stopped tracking but I know I kept gaining. I’m still in the middle of my weight loss journey. I’m down to 225 lbs rn but still feel like I take up so much space. Your video has me feeling like I’m not as alone as I feel. Thank you

    After I cut off my abusive and toxic family in November 2023, I went from 234 to 186. That extra weight of trauma and neglect just LIFTED off my shoulders thank God 🎉 We’re so proud of you for sharing your story and that you’re still here with us ❤️❤️❤️

    YOU SEE BEAUTY YOU SEE DISCIPLINE YOU SEE MOTIVATION ✨✨✨ so happy for you girl
  • I am extremely proud of you. Whenever you feel like you are going backward, always come back to your audio diary to remember why you started your journey.
  • Girrrrrl, I went through almost the same things you did. These Ghanaian family members can ruin your self esteem and you'll be a full grown adult wondering why you're struggling with so many issues. My dad also would always be on me about my weight, telling me I eat too much and always commenting about what I was eating. I started to starve myself in my teens, lost a whole bunch of weight and still wasn't happy with myself. I was depressed, weight up and down all through my 20s. Now in my 30s I'm starting to find myself and start to love myself with the help of a therapist. I applaud you for your hard work girl💛

    Still at the beginning but the woman around you were EXTREMELY jealous. I hate that adults us their authority to bully children and young adults. As a mom I made a pint to tell my kids respect your elders but respect is earned as well. If someone makes u feel bad in any way please tell me so Mama bear can handle it. SMH. This video speaks DEPTHS about soo much. Thanks for sharing
  • @redface2809

    Sis being a Ghanaian is sometimes hard I had those issues with my skin tone I was very fair as a kid and grew up to be darker. I would hear people tell me or my mom that I’m too dark and that my colour has changed sometimes they would even hint that I was so much more prettier as a child than as an adult it’s terrible how we speak to each other. Even Now I deal with weight gain myself and hearing people say I’m too big etc it’s an on going cycle I’m so sorry you had to go through it but through it all you came out so VICTORIOUS …. It’s all a process and I’m glad you overcame your struggles and are thriving!❤😊😘 you look amazing!
  • As an oldest daughter, that was taught respect is everything for elders, this caused me a lot of turmoil, as I got older, because I felt like I couldn’t check adults who needed to be checked because they were older than me. But please understand that when you’re being “respectful“ or trying to keep the peace, whose peace are you keeping? if you were to do something disrespectful, they will call you out on it. Why is it only disrespectful when it’s towards them but never towards you. I know it’s a lot harder said than done, but I pray that you’re able to stand up for yourself as respectfully as you can, because you don’t deserve to be made to feel that way from people who do not have to live in your skin for a single day. You’re beautiful and I’m so proud of you.❤
  • Girl I’m crying right along with you! I’m so happy you’ve found peace and balance. What an inspirational story!
  • @prettywhitty4505
    Girl as you were talking, I wanted to beat up everyone who was mean to you. 😅 Thank you for sharing this and being vulnerable with us! I wish you many blessings! God bless you my sister! 💕

  • @scal2025
    There are so many aspects of your story I relate to, I'm at 208 right now down from 235 and hoping to eventually get to the weight you are now. Thank you for talking about the emotional side of weight and weight loss and for being so open about mental health.
  • The warning at the beginning nearly made me cry, thank you for including that

    You’ve done an amazing job sis, healing your mind and body. I’m so sorry that church aunties put you through all this. I want you to know you’ve inspired me so much and I want to go on my own journey. Saw you from Instagram and listening to you here has given me the motivation to figure out my why and get healthier. God bless you. 💕
