AFIA'S DIARY

I know there are a lot of things for me to talk about on this blog before I reach my true weight 69kg (152lbs). Yes and I'm going to blog about everything before I get there. Next week, week 10 finally there's going to be a picture of this blog from week 1 to week 10 and that's a promise :D. I know I haven't addressed some issues like why I took this step, what made me finally want to lose the weight and etc I will soon!! I'm always giving credit to Brianna Marshall for the inspiration and encourage yes she made me go through this journey knowing that there's sunshine after the rain but there's this main man who told me its time to change your lifestyle Afia. Honestly I got mad but later on I realised DUKE METTLE meant well for me!! Shout out to you Duke Mettle and thank you sooooo much for being real. I've discovered so many things and I know you guy wants to know but the time aint right to talk about that yet lool!! Thank you all for reading my blog! G...

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. Ralph Waldo Emerson And this is something I found delightful. Be inspired. It's from www.self-esteem- enhances-life.com Self acceptance is key to a happy, satisfying and productive life. What do you pledge? to life or yourself? to others or yourself? Uncover your life Don't hide Come out into the sun Breathe the fresh air Get the wind in your hair Feel the wind on your back Enjoy and explore Make the most of this life Find the beat of your own life. Find and experience and gain strength from it. Explore and bathe in it. Play to the beat of another or others and your search, if still unknown or hidden, will still be ongoing and 'incomplete'. Find your own way and your own calling. Be yourself.Quietly, taking the things in, taking the moment in. Taking in your own life. That's fair enough: Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself Be reasonable, fair and polite Know...

Oooooook so where do I begin!! There's so much I want to say to make it easier awwww I'm overwhelmed. Honestly so many people thought I wouldn't last on this diet, my neighbours and even my mum did. Mum knows how very weak I am, I'm a pushover so everyday she kept on asking are you going to eat real food today hahaha and I just roll my eyes and go like you know I don't eat that lool but deep down I just wanted to eat that. Yes I admit that I let things get into me even people I don't even know can sooo really get into but this is me. Starting week 9 I hope its going to be successful like week 8. I'm glad I didn't binge last sunday hope this sunday to will be the same!! Honestly I was afraid to take this step but I took it anyway and I'm glad I did!!!! Keep your head up!!! The best way to gain self-confidence is to do what you are afraid to do.

Since I started this diet, week 8 has been the coolest so cool cool cool cool. Well blogspot don't respect my paragraphs so I'm just going to post stuffs just like that. Believe it or not I've stopped working out I don't even do pilates anymore. I ate a lot of vegetables in a form of stew. A super cool stew mum made. Throughout the 8th week I did just one PP day and I didn't care whether there was going to be any water retention or not my PV's were more and tasty but I still lost weight. I lost a whooping 5pounds and finally I've seen my 80's. I keep telling you guys that this is the best thing I've done and still doing for me since I became older! Well I have a long way to go but I know I will sure get there. I love love love love love love this diet and I'm soooo thankful to Brianna Marshall because through her that I got all the courage to start this diet!!! Life is What You Make it....Mine Will Be Great!! Keep your head up!!

Look how fast time has flown. Its 2 months already woow and I'm glad I took this step to make my life a better and healthy one too. Like I always say life is what you make mine will be great and of course mine is getting better and better everyday. Yesterday I went to see my godfather at his house and everyone who saw me kept telling me how good and trim I looked. So far I've had 10 people coming up to me telling me that. Lool I should keep counting because its also an encouragement. The more they tell me how good I look the more I'm eager to go through the Dukan diet successfully. Last night Papa took a picture of me and said look how slim your thighs look hehehe it was my first time seeing Papa and I think he's really a great guy I actually loved his company. One weird thing is people keep telling me I look good but I don't even see it or feel it hmmm.....I know I should have celebrated this day with a picture but I'm still using my BB to blog so its impossibl...

I've been sooo eager to see my 80's guess tomorrow I'm finally going to see it :D....well you can't blame a sister for being so happy about this because so far to be honest it the only good thing I've done for myself since I was born heeerrrh!! I'm not kidding. Hoping for the best this week and I hope I can stand the sunday binges urrrrgh its killing me!! Need to get back on my pilate and exercise routine I've been slacking lately but in all I'm proud of myself!!! Discovered something really beautiful and amazing, I'm going to talk about that in my next blog. Be Safe Keep running, Keep Walking.....Never Give Up!! Keep going! Each step may get slightly harder, but each step is worth it. Don’t stop. The view is beautiful at the top.

After many day of binging and being a very bad Dukanista, I got back on the diet. Started 7th week at 93.8kg did a mini attack phase and was back on track. I've been dying to see my 80's come on where are you?? The 90's need to go now!!! Oh I went from size 19/20 to size almost 14 so far haven't purchase any need clothes yet waiting for the big size 12 hahaha!!! So let me sum it all up, total weight lost since I started the Dukan diet on the 26th of september is 15.5kg(34.2lbs)...I would have been somewhere in my 40lbs if it wasn't for the binging but its all good!! I feel good and super excited! Life is what you make it....Mine will be Great!!!

Ok I love the title then and now and I love saying it!!! Let's go back, where it all began!! I was depressing 105.6kg(232.6lbs) needed to do something about it because I felt terrible but Ransford told me it was alright but still wasn't feeling good though. So I started the Dukan diet at my heaviest weight ever :(. It wasn't easy but it was worth it. Today I'm proud to say I'm 90.1kg(198.4lbs) the lowest weight I've ever had since first year in high school yaaaaaay!!!! So you know the drill the dukan diet works.....stick to it!!!

Honestly these past weeks has been tremendously hard for me. I watched myself binged for 3days and couldn't do anything about it!!! Felt bad really bad but couldn't save myself from drowning. I think so far through out the journey today has been difficult for me. As I watched tyronne dissed me on BBM because of my weight! Yes and tears are flowing down my cheeks while writing this. His words really hit me real hard and couldn't even say anything negative about his looks to him. Really hit and I know most of you all going through the same thing can feel my pain. What kind of people do that?? but its all good beacause I'm winning this battle and that's the most important thing! I'm not ashamed I'm proud of my body and I'm proud of how far I've come!! May God have mercy on this mean people!!! Never Give Up!!

Starting week 6 today.....kinda already fitting into size 14 hell Yes lool. I'm ready to change my life and make it better nothing and no one can stop me now. I feel tempted somehow but I'm not giving in....Keep Walking Keep running!!! Life is What you make it...Mine Will Be Great!!! Good Luck to all Dukanians this week :D and oh I'm sooo enjoying Taylor Swift's red album

Reporting for 5th week....Well wasn't that much surprise of this week weight loss because of my cheating day but I feel so great about myself and I'm glad I bounced back....still haven't seen my 80's yet but I know its going to come for sure. So I'm officially 92.9kg today and I'm thankful for everything...hopefully going to see my 80's next week :D....giving up is not an option for me. Still fighting and I know I'm going to win.....Accept failure and learn from it, but don’t accept not trying

It was obvious I was going to gain weight when I decided to splurge yesterday. Well I had a nice time splurging because I missed all those food I ate soooooo much......from rice to noodles to sodas...well Yesterday I weighed 92.2kg before starting my day. I made sure I ate anything to the fullest but I couldn't even eat much whew!!! Now no more metallic taste or weakness I'm in a good shape!!! I weighed in this morning well honestly I was kinda scared but the scale said 93.1kg wooooow!!!! Amazing thought I was going to gain like 5pounds or something. I'm back on the Dukan diet doing a 2day mini attack phase!!! Glad I listened to my body yesterday!!! :D

Today I woke up very weak beacause I haven't been able to eat for 3days....my taste bud is worst can't take anything and my body is getting weaker and weaker!!! So the first thing I found was the Peanut and I ate it infact I'm eating it right now. So I'm going to take this day as a splurging day taking a break just for today. I'm going to eat anything I find and make myself sick. I know I'm going to gain but I don't care just want to regain my taste buds and energy!
