That does it. I have joined the band wagon. I am going to do something about my weight. I am tired of being that fat girl. I am going to work on my image, wear heels and generally become a babe. I don’t want to be a size 16 anymore I don’t want to be a size zero at least a size 10/12.
What brought this on? potential-: BUSINESS date wit one of the IT guys in Nigeria. Not IT as in I.T telecoms IT as in IT. I mean the broda is fine. The ‘date’ is not for anoda month. In anticipation I went to spy on the brodas face book profile. Mhen u should have the babes with a capital leta B on his profile chei! I turned a very dark shade of green. Damn all those thin pwetty gals that don’t give gals like me a chance, Damn all them brodas who like those anorexic looking things.
I know it’s a business date where money matas would be discussed but I want to make a dashin first physical impression. Kinda like I enter the room and IT guy forgets all about business that is to be discussed and we end up flirting all nite long then I look at the time and its about 3 so I cant get a Cab, so I have to spend the nite- im getting ahead of my self.
First step I weighed myself. My lord thank God im anonymous would you believe 80kg.I almost fainted. I got down climbed the scale again to be sure it was not a mistake…nope it wasn’t. The last time I climbed a scale 2 years ago I was 70- I got down cried and vowed that the next time I climb a scale I would be 60.
Next I brought out all my old cosmo mags on how to make a lasting impression and how to make your self totally irresistible…I think now would be a good time to see if all those stuff work.
3rd step I have recruited a friend to start jogging with me. Well, actually im still trying to cajole the size 12 gal that size 8s are in these days.
Step 4,I am going shopping for the perfect top as soon as I get the cash, Im thinking Red over my black jeans with a newly acquired next mega high wedges( the wedges are not mine but im sure the size 12 owner wont mind). Wait the wedges are a lite shade of brown hope I won’t look like a multi colored clown. And before any one says jeans is not an appopriate attire to wear 4 a bus date, im assuming the date is in the evening…it had beta be.
I Hope after all is said and done I remember one fact it’s a BUSINESS MEETING.

Hmmmm...now thats pretty much a concern because you have to beat many eyeing IT...huh!!!?

But 80kgs? That was some hell of a weight...You should cat it to 50 i think....60kg is still alot to my opinion...

But its all about shear determination..you will bring those other babes down i believe since you have identified your short coming...

Go gal?!!

eddiie said...

.....huh? was i first?..i think i was...

anonymous gal(retired blogger) said...

the antipop said...

ShadeCrown said...

Afrobabe said...

I am 75kg and loving it...abeg benue girls are not made to be slim jare...lol..

I am a size 12 (tight size 12) as in I would have been more comfortable in a size 14 but I no gree oh...so that babe walking down the road looking like she will soon pass out is me...

But babes, dont aim to be real skinny oh...I dont think African guys really like that extreme skinny look...besides as for love and relationships...its all about the personality and in that area you score a perfect 100%..

Eyin'ju Oluwa said...

Lmao, im sure you can 'capture' his heart with your brains, or he may be into orobos yanno...

All the best sha, i suggest tie-ing your jaw, i heard it works...

That your outfit needs working on o, lol...

Afrobabe said...

That said...if the brother does not fall head over heels...arrange some home boys to teach him a lesson!!!

Afrobabe said...

Afrobabe said...

desperate lady said...

babes i am so mad at u right now? u wanna lose weight cos of a guy? wow i cant believe this.
Honey if u wanna lose weight, do it cos of u, do it cos u wanna be healthy n not 4 a dude, cos no guy deserves that.
And one more thing, u have to learn to love and appreciate urself the way u are.
Go to the mirror and admire urself, it'll be easier to lose weight by loving urself 1st trust me.
u don't even have to go jogging, just wake up 1st thing in d morning, go to the mirror and shake ur goodies for ur eyes only, dance till u can't dance no more, u'll be surprised at how much weight u'll lose by just dancing.
Don't starve urself i beg cos that is so not helpful.....drink lots of water and cut down from soda.

i got an assigment for u, when u get home, go to the mirror and tell urself how much u love u then come back and tell me how u felt...pls i need to know. thanks.

desperate lady said...

girl and don't u dare even think about tieing ur jaw, that's some bullshit der.

Naija Chickito said...

Jinta said...

you want to lose your weight for a man? what if he prefers a size 16?

Sam Oracle said...

I think exercise is the best way to get rid of fat.
I've seen fat people that are still attractive, don't make it seem like there is no hope for you.
Have a nice meeting

bumight said...

just read the comments, and I'm ashamed to talk about my size.
Your motivation should be something else other than this Business "date" , so what happens after the date?
It's not bad that u want to lose weight, but do it for urself!
peace!!

PS: 60kg? how tall are you?

Nigerican said...

anonymous gal(retired blogger) said...

@ all basically IT guy was wat woke me up to the fact that i have to look good,i did a lot of research on weight and found out that 4 my own good i need to lose weight.It guy is now a motivaton as i need motivation. tons of motivation.

Edirin said...

size 16,the way u were talking, made it sound much worst...me i like girls of that size, but if u feel u need a change, then why not

i got u girl,u can do it...

bumight said...

I had to come back to do this:
i'm on a diet, a very good one. It's called SCHOOL
fast results!!!
It works even if you don't want it to
It comes with extra dietary supplements: exams+stress... the whole 9 yards
I went from a size 3 to a size 1 just like that....

anonymous gal(retired blogger) said...

@ bumight lol.u r crazy.

desperate lady said...

Bumight ur a size 1? R u serious?

Afrobabe said...

Happy vals babe...I dey read...I think...lol...

Jennifer A. said...

lol @ this post....

Like everyone said, do it for your health and not for the IT guy. Plus, I think he's gonna fall in love with ur "person" not ur "size." Especially with ur lovely 'sense of humor' (gathering from this post). So u don't have anything to worry abt jare...

Now, that being said, pls can u dash me some kgs? Cos me I'm trying to gain some stuff...he he

Unknown said...

80? 80? 80?!?!?!!? Girl, no matter what you weigh, there will always be someone bigger and heavier than you - like me. (smile)

The important thing is to be comfortable with who you are. Hope you suceed with ur reduction process.

Anu boy said...

babes, we men like our ladies big and thick.... sho ti gbo....,
ma farale....

yayi said...

I really do not understand how men could like anorexic looking things, well normal men sha.It was a man i wouldnt wanna bed a skinny breastless girl, abeg o.
I bet you are sexy either way, 80 or 70, as long as you are in sound health. It depends on your height again and if you have got big bones then that shouldnt really matter. For all you know Mr FoineBoy might like big sexy women not assless skinny mops!!
Wear RED!!

guerreiranigeriana said...

hmmmnnn...interesting post...i don't see anything wrong with mr it as a point of motivation...we all need some motivation and sometimes 'health' isn't enough...

...i think desperate lady gave really good advice, as far as loving yourself...i am not saying don't lose the weight, but make sure you also love yourself...that will sway a man regardless of whether you are his 'type' or not...and if it doesn't, he ain't the one for you...

...and last i heard, skinny girls were NOT the lick in naija!!!...my cousin and i were gisting and i asked what kind of girls he liked...suffice to say, he said i was on the small side and definitely not his or most of his friends' type!..imagine the shock and horror as he has fine friends o!...i don't consider myself that small (somewhere between 1-4, depends on the maker) and am constantly trying to get smaller (mildly obsessed with smallness)...but some of his friends couldn't help but check for me...i am quite a cutie, if i must say so:)...and my personality and intellect are there...

...all that to say, lose weight if you want, but focus on being happy, beautiful and shining your beautiful inner light on the world...kisses and energy for the endeavor...sidenote: sometimes weight is not a good measure...i weigh more than i look like i would weigh due to muscle mass...and i am not a body builder nor do i have a body builder body...

James Tubman said...

don't forget to stop by my place for some tips too

and good luck on loosing weight

excellent piece

Anya Posh said...

did eddie say 50kg? girl that is an eternity if you think you going 2 drop 30kgs in a month. That's like shedding off a grown 10year old!

60kg is good jo, just go easy on yourself. Eat right & exercise lots. Basically burn off more than you eat & you'll watch those pounds drop like goat shit.

The best way I lost my kilos was by running & don't let anyone use exclusively dieting to fool you. Gurl, you gotta shake up the romp-a-domp to see any noticeable improvements. Other tahn that, focus on your ideal & you'll realise it! Good luck sweetie!

Thanks all

Bubblegum Thug said...

think of the healthy side of losing weight. It also depends on ur height.
If u are trying to impress the guy so hard, think about will u will have to do to keep him if u get him.
Abeg be urself jare. Nothing spoil.
If u need braces, go get them. U will definitely lose weight. lol
