"This life no dey do pass yourself
So I’ve been on a diet since November last year.

Your girl lost all the desirable weight. Body was bodying. Discipline was disciplining.

Then February came.
Filming back-to-back.
Joined fasting.
Minimal sleep.
Lesser Energy
Today, during a meeting, I was demonstrating & explaining.

Serious mode activated. For like 20 minutes, I was explaining with full confidence & bidding.

Suddenly, everywhere just blurrrrrr.
I said, “Okay, maybe my eyes are adjusting.”

Next thing.
I begin see double. DOUBLE OOOO
Omo, I no argue with my destiny.
I quietly and respectfully sat down on the floor.
Because what is pride??
Thank God it was just 3 people there, oh. They now ran to get me water like an emergency pit crew.

See ehn… whether you’re watching weight or fasting, abeg try dey stay one place. Your body no be generator wey you fit overload.

Health first before hot body.
This life no dey do pass yourself.
May God bless our hustle."
