Which one are you?

Starting a weight loss journey will bring out your true nature; if you are a Lagosian, that becomes your excuse for everything. There are different types of people during the weight loss journey. I can bet you’ve come across at least two on this list.

The serious ones: Some people start a weight loss journey and make it their lifetime priority. You won’t be able to take a deep breath without them saying something about weight loss. Regardless of what you say, their response would be you should try to lose weight. Tell them you are coughing, they will tell you to lose weight. You will see them at the gym; they are also very good at downloading weight loss tips regardless of how much they might cost. They even wear a t-shirt that says ‘on weight loss journey’. Our word to them? Be calming down.

Everyday cheat day crew: These ones are the ‘just dey play’ team, because who does cheat day every day? Their weight loss is only valid when they are in bed, once they are awake, it is over. You will hear them say things like I can’t kill myself, this thing is not easy. Every day is their cheat. Our word to them? Stop stressing, this is not your calling.

The ones who suddenly have all the tips: These people can start their weight loss journey today and get 305 different pdfs on weight loss. They will even take screenshots of tips, food combinations, etc. If you look through their files and pictures, it might look like they have it together, but give it time, they will delete everything just as fast as they got it.

2 days off, 2 days on: Team weight loss Monday, Tuesday, never Wednesday, and Thursday. Who selects days for weight loss? definitely these people. They will eat everything for two days and abstain for another two. Our word to them? Relax, backslider.

The ones who tell the entire world about their weight loss plan: You can never hear the last of it from this set of people. Every little thing you say, they will say ‘you know I am losing weight’. Okay, rest for reals.

The ones who never lose anything: 3 years, 500 years, whatever years, these people never lose anything. Not weight, not sight, not even the hunger to continue the weight loss journey. Our word for them? Stop eating late at night, we can see you.

Mirror Clan: Fear these ones. We can never understand why this set of people won’t stop looking into the mirror every two minutes, weight loss isn’t magic. Focus.

Silence Crew: These ones are the elders, their body and face usually says everything. Who has time to announce when you can surprise everyone with your glow. Our word to them? Take it easy, dears. Stop oppressing the voiceless.
