My Weightloss Journey From 78kgs to 53kgs

I was always skinny when I was growing up. I walked a lot, never dieted and enjoyed the good food my mother cooked, she is a phenomenal cook and well I enjoyed eating.When I was in my twenty’s I learned to cook and after I got married at the age of 27, I started cooking and my weight went up to 68kgs but I always bounced back to 63kgs to 66kgs but in my early 30’s I got pregnant and my weight went up to 78 to 80kgs.Now that is a lot of weight because I am just five feet and 2 inches.

As much as I tried I could not lose that weight. I remember getting up at 2 or 3am and cooking sausages and bacon and eating it, I loved comfort eating and telling myself I will diet from tomorrow, but there was always some excuse the next day.

After much prayer and intermittent fasting, my weight slowly came off and I reached 56kgs and now I am 53kgs.It is such a blessing to wear the clothes I like. Being skinny has helped me get more confidence and be happy.

I know what it is like to be morbidly obese. To comfort eat and binge eat. to be shy and scared to go out because you don’t like yourself or the way you look. But let me tell you it is possible to lose weight and stick at it and be 53kgs. It feels like I am a different person altogether. It is possible to lose weight become skinny and be happy. To look and feel confident in my own skin.

If I can do it, you can do it. Keep praying, believing and hoping and you too can lose this weight. I know what it is like to be over weight. God helped me and God can help you as well. All things are possible for God. So if you are struggling with your weight , you can lose the weight. I did it so can you. All the best.
