REDEMPTION



Life challenges are definitely not fun but its super worth it. if someone told me I would be saying the “worth it” part, I would stand up and point them out. This particular post marks the end of my writing for 2017; I couldn’t get much done anyway (in terms of writing).  I can’t say it’s my best year yet but I can definitely say it’s the year that has really taught me so many things about myself. it taught me acceptance, letting go and most importantly patience. I found myself getting to know more about God and His ways of doing things for my own good.

The first few months was very difficult for me. I was struggling to find my feet and to put me first. I had a few setbacks here and there. I kept holding on to things I thought I deserved then. I leaned on my own understanding to get things done; thereby beating myself up when things didn’t go as I wanted.




In all I count myself lucky because now I strongly know and believe that all the things I went through was actually preparing me for something greater than I could have ever imagined. The rest of the year became so much easier after learning how to trust God and letting Him take control of my life. I’ve been able to love myself in ways I never thought I would. Things started falling in place without actually struggling for it. I finally recognized myself and the kind of love every individual brought into my life.

Losing weight became less difficult. I was able to love my body in the process of changing it to be something better. And 6 months later here I am with 64 pounds down. 2017 brought a lot of love and happiness in my life. Yes, there was bad days and sometimes extremely difficult days; but I didn’t let that hold me back from finding myself and happiness.

I learned a lot from the teachings of Sarah Jakes Roberts. Her book gave me ground when my friend Ernie introduced it to me. I now have a good relationship with my dad and a few amazing friends. The kind of people in my life currently are the ones who will do anything to see you happy or even take a step further into greatness. My mother has always been amazing and supportive and I thank her for that.

First of all, I want to say a big shoutout to God…yes the man above; I wouldn’t know where I would be without him.



 To my mum for always putting me first and to allowing me to fly and dad and to all my beautiful friends thank you thank you for making 2017 an amazing one. 











 




To Winfred Oberg, baby thank you for always holding me doing. I appreciate your kindness and everything you’ve done for me. God richly bless you.









And to that one man who I torment every day of his life…….Bernard. thank you for sticking around even when it’s difficult to. Thank you for using the word support, love and actually showing me what it means. Thank you for always checking up on me and really being understanding. If you have the world you would give it to me and this much I know.












To anyone who brought heart break, disappointment, tears and challenges…I just want to say thank you for the lessons, experience and growth. And to my amazing readers thank you for going through this roller coaster with me. I promise to give you the best of my writings in the coming year. God bless us all.

THE GRACE OF GOD

A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. I never wanted to get my picture taken because I knew I had packed on some weight. There came in the comments from my course mates telling me how fat I’ve gotten and so on. Some even went to the extent of saying I’m not coming to class because I said I’ve gained weight; that was sad.  The comments they passed did hurt but it didn’t motivate me to change my lifestyle. As time went by, I got so used to their fat body shaming and comments. But what they didn’t know was the fact that I had already given up on myself: so nothing they said was actually going to push me to change. Even with that I’ll start eating healthy for a minute, hit the gym and give up on that same week. Until my course mate took a picture of me when I wasn’t looking after I had instructed him not to take any picture of me.  A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. My first look at the pictur...

GENERAL THINGS

1) 2nd day of the 2nd week on the Dukan diet and I’ve noticed the people around don’t really understand what I’m doing. They keep asking me why that much chicken, Eggs, fish? Others even added I’m going to get more fat eating those things and I can’t even explain it to them because they won’t even get. 2) About the water issues….I wasn’t much of a water drinker. I started drinking 1.5litre of water when I started the Dukand Diet but now I can even drink 8litres of water everyday. I used the water a lot because I don’t have an oat bran which is required for this diet well atleast for now. 3) The Protein….I only use chicken, Eggs, Fish and Beef. That’s the only protein available for me. Already sick of the eggs and fish but I’m really trying my best even though I don’t have much variety of foods to eat. 4) Vegetables…I only use cucumber, salad leaves, tomatoes, pepper and Onion. I also found a frozen Broccoli at Opoku Trading which is a new addition to my vegetables PS: I take my PP ...

SHED A TEAR

I want to shed a tear, For how I've been made, For how life has treated me. I want to shed a tear, For the chances I've missed, For the times I've wasted. I want to shed a tear, For my poor heart, For how many times it has been broken, For so many years of waiting for something real. I want to shed a tear, For my life, For how 24 years of emptiness has been, For the love and peace there will never be. I want to shed a tear, For the people I've met, For how selfish they have been, For taken me for granted, For draining my soul and energy. I want to shed a tear, For me, For all the things I've lost, For my father, For how distance has separated us. I want to shed a tear, For the baby sister I never had, For walking alone in this world, For not being able to read the note I wrote to her, For dreaming about you everyday, For accepting that there will never be you. I want to shed a tear, For love, For all the men I've lost...
