AFIA'S DIARY

Yesterday I met with one of my bestie Winifred and all she can say was its official you've really lost weight hahaha. You know that feeling yeah when finally they all recognize the good you doing for yourself. I was super excited I felt soooooo comfortable and I said to myself Yes We did it and we still doing!! I'm at the lowest weight I've been in my teen life!!! Its amazing!! My love for the mirror keeps growing everyday:D and taking full pictures are my thing now!! I love how I can fit into all the clothes in my closet!! But sometimes I feel bad and awkward because I'm still struggling to accept the new me, my new body....that feeling of where have you been I've been waiting for you ever since I was 16.....you came too late but not that late. Finally it feels great to accept me!! Accept this body!! Accept that my new size 14 body!! And I'm ready to explore!! Feeling great!! Over confident I'm on top of the world!!! For me that's all that matters to me...

Back on the Dukan diet with a 2day mini attack phase. Yes better believe I got this, I may be anything but not a failure not giving up after coming this far. For me 88.5kg is an achievement because it hasn't been an easy road. Going back to accra next week wednesday so I guess I'll blog while in the bus on my way to Accra. My purpose is Accra is for christmas and New Year, we all know what christmas and new year means the big 'C' Celebration hahaha but whatever if I really want to do this I can do it regardless!! Keep Going!! If u fall rise up from the ground like a SKYSCRAPER!!! Keep on MOVING!!! Its all about the CLIMB!!! Keep the FAITH!! Good Luck this week to everyone!! It takes by far more courage to try than it does to succeed.

wheeew!!! I'm not going to portray myself as a superwoman on here and lie about things. Yes I've been binging, I've been binging for 2 straight weeks ie Week 10 and Week 11 and I'm not proud of that. I know I promised my reader some pictures but due to the deviation in my diet I couldn't post it.....guess I'll do that when I get to Accra on Wednesday. Binging helped me to get back on 94.3kg yes surprised and I felt terrible but don't really know what happened but the weight decided to come down by itself even though I was still binging and I didn't consolidate it though hmm strange!!! So I'm back in my 80's I'm 88.5kg today and I'm glad that I didn't give up!! Next week I'll be spending some time in Accra hopefully I'll stay focus on the Dukan diet!! Like I always say LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.....MINE WILL BE GREAT

Me about to write this remind me of Colbie Caillat song Realize!!! Neglecting this blog wasn't on purpose but I needed a minute to embrace everything I've been doing for myself through this diet and also embrace my new and ever changing body!!! I must confess it really feels good to take a step back and observe thing, it really feels good to embrace this body I have. I've been hard on myself ever since I've known myself for being this size so embracing it and feeling very comfortable in it was the first experience and a very good one for me and I really loved it. I even took a trip to accra and went to my dad's brother's funeral in my hometown which I've never done before and honestly I never imagine myself doing that. It was the first time people who haven't seen me in ages talked about my weight and I didn't even get bothered about it. My first time realising that life is not all about being perfect or having a perfect body. A new experience altoge...

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.
