This Kemi Adetiba is more than proud of her new body,
following surgical procedures she
underwent few months ago. The talented
filmmaker shared inspiring story of her journey of combating depression and
weight gains Read post after the cut...
"Went for an amazing run this morning and discovered
my jogging basketball shorts kept slipping off and I had to keep pulling them
up. I’m happy with my progress and it’s goes to show that it’s never late to
start from the beginning if you have to.
I put on an insane amount of weight late last year
leading up to a surgical procedure I had. The weight gain was stress related
(as I was working till the very evening I checked into hospital) and depression
(from the painful symptoms I had to deal with because of my situation). Yes I
eventually lost weight after surgery due to loss of appetite, but I also lost
all my muscle mass as well.
My body became like a polythene bag loosely filled
with cooked ogi. Sigh. Then my appetite came back and I gained back all the
weight again as I wasn’t given the go ahead to work out by the doctor.
By the beginning of February I was depressed again
because I once again hated my body. When you hate your body, you hate yourself.
I started feeling like I was ageing and ageing bad. I felt like such a frump
and nothing looked flattering on me. Now you guys know that ME… I LOVE food. So
food will always stay. That one is a deal breaker!! But fat had to go.
As soon as I got the go ahead from the doctor I
started working out again… And in the middle of a resting holiday. After
Mexico, I gave up sweets, bread (save for unleavened) soft drinks (aka
mineraaaaaas), and beer ( and y’all KNOW how I loooove my beer. I picked up on
my cardio,weight lifting and body sculpting exercises. My breasts look bigger
because… Well… I have big breasts But it’s more attractively defined because
I’ve lost a lot of weight in my mid riff area. My Butt looks bigger, well
rounded (and harder to fit in jeans) because I’ve lost a lot from my thighs,
back, plus doing some intense squat exercises.
I’m feeling very hot with my bod and it took pain
and dedication to rebuild. But it’s all worth it and I’m still very much work
in progress. When I say #PanelBeatThatBody I really mean it and it’s never to
late to start… Again!!
