Hello,
My name is Annette, a twenty-something year old girl living in Accra Ghana. I am an environmental specialist, freelance makeup artist, beauty and natural hair blogger, etc. Before i entered the university i was a happy size12/14. This was 8 years ago. Although i had gained weight then, looking back i believe i was looking good but i couldn't maintain it and gradually added more. Fast forward to now I have become a size 18.
So question is why now am i trying to loose weight? Well its simple, i have become tired of prancing about with a belly equivalent to that of a 5 months pregnant woman. I want to be trim and curvy and fit. I want to be confident, no that i'm not confident now but the level will increase. Its easier wanting than doing right?
So how am i going to be doing this? Changing my lifestyle gradually until i get it all together. I have recently signed up to a gym with my dear friend and have began researching on healthier eating.
This blog will be mainly a diary to document all aspects of this journey. So join me if you can, i will love to chat or talk with anyone who is also on such a journey or seeking to join. We can motivate each other to ensure success. Feel free to ask questions and comment as much as you like.
P.S. So this may not be a very accurate picture but you can see my tummy bulging, hiding beneath the peplum. I don't look as hefty but thing is i don't have may full pictures just pics of my face. Tells you my level of confidence. Will later blog and add real pictures.
Until the next post,
Eat healthy, Exercise and Feel Good.
Annette.
