you would most likely not call me fat.
I used to weigh 75kg and was a perfect size 12. I wasn’t slim even then but I loved my shape. Never liked stick thin. I believe a woman should have some flesh on her body and African women are known for their voluptuousness abeg!
But ehnnn 85kg? That is a crime!
How did I get the extra 10kg???
Lol! I shouldn’t be asking that silly question.
All the visits to Barcelos, TFC, Tantalizers and St.Elmos…the report don dey show now for my body, I come dey wonder,lol!
Barcelos choc chip icecream, you see wetin you don do me abi?
Silverbird popcorn, Haa…no be me and you again o…lol!
If I felt the scale was telling a lie, something else that happened at the choir practice yesterday evening easily dispelled that notion. A lady drew me aside and commented: “Sister, you are putting on weight o. I remember the first time I saw you, you looked so trim, please do something about it”
Meeen…if you see as my face red ehn…e no get part two,lol!
I didn’t need any further prompting.
So starting today July 11th 2008, princesa is embarking on the famous ATKINS diet again!!!
I tried the diet sometime last year and it really worked. Then I had gone from a size 12 to a size 14 going on 16 and it was imperative to drop the excess baggage. Drop it did eventually. I went back to being a sweet 12.
The trick to the ATKINS diet is to avoid carbs as much as you can even after reaching one’s desired weight but I didn’t stick to the rules. I went back to my old eating habits and the weight piled back on.
So today i resume the induction diet. It’s the strictest level where all you eat is protein and more protein. Already had Ewa agonyin(beans) this morning. Don’t know what am having for lunch yet. God…this diet no favour our Naija kind of foods o!
I hope the weight drops off quickly like it did the last time and dearest protein, I promise I won’t abandon you for my sweets and carbs again,lol!
Abeg o...I know say I want lose weight but no be dis kain one. Na anorexia abi na wetin dey do these people???
P.S: Plans for the SBR(Summer Bloggers Reunion) are still in progress. Its looking like we may have to reschedule so as to accomodate some bloggers who have indicated interest to attend. The two dates we are considering are August 23rd or September 6th. What do u think?
HAPPY WEEEKEND Y'ALL! I LOVE FRIDAYS!

did u consider the detox diet that Taurean minx did?
OMG so I was just going to post a photo blog on models and anorexia!! Those pictures a mortifying...thank God more weight rstrictions are being posed on the industry.
Babes I dont really recommend the Atkins Diet oh! You gain all the weight back as soon as you get off it! The only thing that ever works is eating right and exercising-take it from a person who has tried EVERY diet out there.
Yeah yeah..you been gaining a bit of weight girl...take am easy..
About those scarecrows..?SHIT..
Any ass I can cover both cheeks with one hand..I DONT WANT..!!!
The pictures of those models are quite scary. Hmmm the ideal size in my opinion is size 12 o jare. Im size 12 ooo and e be like sey me tooo don dey gather some weight tooo. Eba and pounded yam don dey too much. I need to shed some weight as well.
eeewww!!! my arms are proportional to her thighs.tufiakwa! God help us oh. As for d atkins diet. hmmm. na so so beans(i h8 beans) u go chop oh. which other proteinous food dey again?????? oh ok, then the high-fat intake too.too much blabbing jo. goodluck on ur diet oh! nd as for SBR, im not sure bout the new d8 oh. i asked my mum to shift my departure d8 cos i wanted to attend. its all gud tho.
Lg, how u take know wetin i wan talk! D mess ehn go be die, true ,true.
Me like last month i climbed scale after like almost 1yr of not checking my weight, for d nurse to tell me 68.sumthingkg, so now i feel consoled!lol!
Sista princesa, good luck with ur diet. May the God lord give u strength to stick to it even when you r driving past St.elmos or sitting in galleria and smelling all dat popcorn... AMEN!!!
dang 5 10,,you are tall, you did not look it from your pictures..
The most important thing is that your healthy and I am glad your working on that
the models look are not a good look..they need to it
"I believe a woman should have some flesh on her body"
You know some women are naturally skinny.that does not make them anyless a woman..
We should embrace diversity...and i am definitely not in support of anorexia..you get my point?
Good luck with Atkins, I've tried Atkins like 3 times before. You are right that diet shows no love to our home food at all. My family will be blowing eba and me I'm there licking pepper soup.
Lol I had someone pull me aside before too, it was an auntie i hadn't seen in ages, the woman taught i was pregnant, wasn't a good look at all o.
As for the pictures no comment o!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a good weekend.
atkins? wow.. gluck, lets knw how it 'goes'
Those pics are scary. Good luck on your diet. Let's know how you get on.
BTW, thanks for stopping by my villa.
Ok princesa...this quote here tells you what you need to watch out for when it comes to dieting *The trick to the ATKINS diet is to avoid carbs as much as you can even after reaching one’s desired weight but I didn’t stick to the rules. I went back to my old eating habits and the weight piled back on.*
The reason why they call the likes of Atkins, Summerbeach, GI diet etc fad diets is because they give what I call temporary wonders. Let me ask you, how feasible is it to cut out carbs from your diet for the rest of your life? You must admit your chances of succesfully doing that is nil. What you want is a very well balanced diet that have all the right nutrients in the right amount because its a life time thing. As some who went from a 14 to a 12 in 2 months and I've kept the weight off for a year and still counting I can certainly tell you that quick fixes dont work.
Babe, you may start with Atkins now to lose the weight but once u done just stick to a balanced diet. Make sure you start your day with a healthy breakie such as cereal. This helps to speed up ur metabolism. Have your elevenses as per normal like a mango or apple then have a balanced lunch, preferable grilled chicken with lots of salads (tantalisers will do). At night you can have something like brown rice (ofada) and veg. You just need to find all the good stuff and eat them in the right amount and you'll forever keep your figure...trust me on that.
Princesa, it could be pregnancy ooooh....lol.
Those anorexic pics are scary, i can remember going to a hospital where patients with eating disorders were taken care of sometime last year. It was like a scene from a horror movie! many could not even eat, very gaunt with tubes everywhere.
About the bloggers' reunion, can some of us who would not be able to show up get to phone in? Sounds like a good idea, don't know who else might like it though.
You said nothing about exercising....Atkins can only work temporarily....I like your blog!
i think you look good, but its up to you to know what feels good, cos its your body.
the renuion thing sounds like fun, and i have a feeling you're doing a beach campaign aspa princess of the beaches. lol
as for the picsure? i no fit shout!

@bumight, Tminx’s detox diet sounded like serious hard work o! make I manage ATKINS see how far.
@NDQ, thanks babes. Eating right and exercising you say? Will try and fit some exercise into my busy as hell schedule. As for eating right, that’d be as soon as am through with ATKINS!

@zephi, am a tall babe o, don’t be deceived by my pics. I agree being naturally skinny doesn’t make anyone less woman. I don’t just buy the idea of women going to any length to be skinny like those models in the pics.
@datone okrika girl, lol! babes, licking pepper soup is not too bad now, well I guess cos am not a fan of Eba or ball foods. So did it work for you when you tried it? I mean the ATKINS diet?
