"I didn't mean
to gain weight. It just happened." Have you ever walked into a mall and
you spot a very gorgeous dress and you just start picturing yourself wearing
it? You approach the shop selling the dress you hold the dress, and the owner
rushes out to sell to you only to give you an unpleasant look and angrily tells
you off "Madam huwezi toshea hapo utararua iyo nguo!" Madam sorry you
cannot fit in that dress; you will tear it out!
For me, weight loss is a journey. I call it a journey simply
because it took me time to get to where I am today. Growing up as a child and
as a teenager, I was never a chunky person; rather, I was slim and small. When
I went to college, it became even worse for me because I could skip lunch most
of the time, not because I wanted to but because of financial constraints,
which it's normal for most of the students. Skipping lunch was one, but again,
I would walk a distance to where my house was. I remember going home after I
completed college, and people would give me this unpleasant look. It affected
me in a away, but there is nothing I could do about how I looked.
