MY WEIGHTLOSS JOURNEY

 There have been a lot of questions surrounding my weight loss and while there are speculations that I lost weight to secure a man, don't like how I look, I am looking for a man and all others that I have forgotten. To be truthful, I loved how I looked 2 years ago, chubby, tall, beautiful with good skin. I always command respect any where I step because of the physical features. People always give me my space because in Nigeria, fat people have money and they deserve to be worshipped. 

Unlike weight loss, It is very easy to gain weight and the first step is being careless on how you eat. With weight loss, you have to be intentional about what you eat. When people come to me complaining about someone they know that can finish a house and still not get fat, I laugh. I know our genes also play a big role determining our body weight and we have also seen families with a mixture of fat and slim people. I would say your body weight is majorly in your hands.

I didn't grow up as a fat person, I grew up and started getting fat. Apart from have a wide hips my body was just there. My fat became obvious in 2017, I had finish my first degree and I don't have what exactly to do than eat, relax and be taken care of. 2020 was the highest I had been. I weighed almost a 120kg before I started my weight loss journey.

In 2020, I had gone out of shape. I knew I needed to get a remedy but I didn't know how to lost weight. I was looking at myself in the mirror with a NO NO NO. I think that's depressing on its own, having to look at the mirror and seeing someone else. I had tried home gym and I didn't get result not because I wasn't accountable to anyone. My boyfriend then always reward me with Ice cream and fried rice whenever I lost a kg. The Irony.

 February 2020, the Covid lockdown came and there was no movement till around May. You can guess what I was investing my money on FOOD, FOOD, FOOD plus sleep. We had steady electricity so I was trying several recipe. We couldn't go to work and we had to survive one way or the other.

I remember by May 2020, I was no more chubby nor fat, I had blown. March/April 2020 I started having issues with my right leg, I would wake up in the morning and I wont be able to lift my leg for the first 15mins of the day. As a Nigerian, I thought it was a minor thing so I got hot balm and would apply hoping the pain would relief me. My boyfriend warned me to visit the hospital but Hospitals were barely attending to people except your condition is critical.

I visited the pharmacy and got any drug for bone pain. I was using it with the balm and instead of getting better, my leg was getting worse. I couldn't go out and when I did I relied on one leg. Most of the time I am useless. I would wake up in the morning and instead of standing up to face the day I would crawl down from my bed, not crawl. I would roll down my bed till my body tells me I am free to stand up. I was coming home one day when I felt the same pain on my left leg. I was in the middle of the road and I had to throw away my bags just to support my leg with my hand. I was bowed on that spot for 10mins of the day and I told myself if I don't attend to this leg, I may get paralyzed from it. 

I got home and wailed. The thought of losing my legs was worse than death. My only fear is being alive and useless, I would rather die than having someone helping me do stuff that I could do but can no longer do. I started using support (walking sticks) in the house. I was buying stuff with home delivery because I was scared I could just fall in the middle of the road. My 2 legs are now bad, one worse than the other. The pain was in my hips and affected the whole leg.

I thought of where I could get my leg checked by professionals before I lost them and I remembered one of my acquaintance works in orthopaedic hospital, I called him up and told him all I have been passing through and my fears. He asked me to come early to the hospital in two days time so he can use his influence to help me get checked because of the priority giving to people in critical condition, Covid palava.

I got to the hospital before 7am and he was shocked. I called him that I am around and he helped me. I got x-ray done, I took the result to the doctor and the Doctor said all is well with the x-ray result and what am I looking for. Village people have followed me to the hospital. He prescribed some drugs for me and gave me an appointment for follow up on the drugs.

I remember getting home and started wailing. I was worried on the level of pain I was passing through and the doctor said there was nothing detected on me. I remember i would walk and feel my bones grinding each other the way you feel when you grind your teeth against each other. I couldn't tell my parent because I believe they should be resting and not running around for my problem as an adult.

I had visited my parent this period and my Mum looked at me for traces of pregnancy before blurting out 'you are getting fat, please watch it'. For someone that is passing through all I mentioned you can imagine my reply. Amidst tears, I told her i was trying and ran into the bathroom, had another round of tears.

My next hospital appointment, I met with another Doctor and she checked my file, asked me personal questions and ran tests on me. I was diagnosed of TROCHANTERIC BURSITIS. You can read more on that but it simply means 'Chronic hip pain'. She was actually very nice to me and she told me I will be fine and have nothing to worry about. I would first need to sacrifice my weight, if I want to get better. Is this woman playing, what is weight when I am almost losing my legs. She referred me to a dietician and prescribed very strong drugs that I had to drop as they were tampering with my mental health. This is a confirmation that I can't do hard drugs.

The dietician drafted my new meal for me, exercises and gave me tips to make my journey easy. I got home that day and had to make a life changing decision. It is very hard as an adult throwing away the life you use to know and embrace another lifestyle entirely. Weight loss journey is very though, I would tell you the truth. there would be another blog on my struggles, please see it when I drop it. It will address everything I faced and passed through on this Journey.

This is how I started my journey and I write this for people that will ask me in the future on why I embarked on this journey. I don't regret losing weight. I still feel that pain only when I sit for long. I have to balance my life by measuring my sitting and standing. Life though, It has it ways of playing tricks on us.

I am ending this blog with Eh God by my baby Kizz Daniel.

I have the weight loss meal plan that I used for this journey for sale at 5000naira, send me an email at Opeyemiaremu0@gmail.com if you want a copy.

If you have any question, drop it in the comment and I would be willing to answer to the best of my knowledge.

I love you.

TRUST NO ONE : THE HUNT FOR CRYPTO KING (REVIEW)

 This is a Netflix documentary on Gerald Cotton aka Gerry, the founder and CEO of QUADRIAGACX, the husband of Jennifer Robertson, who died in India on December 9, 2018 of Crohn's Disease. There are still questions on peoples lips if he's dead or alive because his death and everything surrounding his death seems suspicious. It is alleged that he faked his own death, did plastic surgery and now hiding. 

He started QuadriagaCX in Canada in 2013 for buying and selling Bitcoin and business was going smooth till when Bitcoin price skyrocket in 2017 and people started investing heavily to benefit from the new price and QuadriagaCX turns out to be highly recommended on where to trade Bitcoin.

Tong  Zou, a software Engineer and a Youtuber as at that time was already thinking of how to quit his job and start travelling round the world, when he heard about the sudden rise of Bitcion he requested for a loan and he invested $85,000 on Bitcion while hoping to hit it big but he was disappointed as the price of Bitcion ridiculously dropped after he has invested so he is left with a loan of $85,000 and while he was thinking of how to pay back he decide to sell off his house and start a new life.

He sold his house and his other properties, got a sum of $400,000 in total and now needs a way to move his money to Canada where he planned to start a new life, He made a research and even though he could move his money through the bank, he didn't want to pay the 2% charges so he found QuadrigaCX online as one of the best trading platform in Canada so he traded all his $400,000 so he could withdraw when he gets to Canada. All was well till it was time to get the Bitcoin worth his money and he didn't get any response for hours which turns to days and month till Gerry death was announced on January 14th 2019 and that was when he confirmed he was in trouble and his money was gone.

Ali Mousavi an A.I consultant wanted to change career and while he waited for clarification on what to do next with his life he decide to trade Crypto currency and he invested $70,000 with QuadrigaCX which also disappeared with Gerry's death. Gerry died with a $190 million customer holdings. On investigation it was discovered that Gerry was the only one with access to the wallet and now that he's dead no one can have access to the account nor his wife Jenny which was declared a partner of the company.

This is where it get very suspicious and deeper investigations where conducted, people that went to the funeral said it was a closed casket so they can confirm if he was buried or not, on further investigations, they discovered that Michael Paytrn was the founder of QuadriagaCX since 2003 and not Gerry. Gerry has just been flaunting it as his while using it to perpetrate fraud. Michael was also discovered to be a criminal as he had facial surgery and change identity from Omar Dhanani to being Michael.

It was also discovered that he willed all his properties to Jenny his wife 12 days before his death and it was rumoured that his wife might have killed him to take over the properties, She has also changed her name thrice in the space of 3 years so who wouldn't think she is behind all this and It was said that she was happy and partying with her friend at the funeral which was strange for a widow. 

At the end of the day it was discovered that Gerry had uploaded no existing coins on QuadrigaCX and people had been buying fake coins. He ran a Ponzi scheme where he rob Pete to pay Paul. He got money from someone to pay the other but when there was a dip in Bitcoin, he couldn't continue paying them because he was also investing in other trading platforms abroad to get rich. It was also discovered that he has been operating scam since he was 14.

People are still yet to believe that he is dead as Crohn's diseases has a very low death rate but a doctor where he was admitted confirmed his death and also said there was no autopsy taken place for a man like Gerry. There are speculations on whether to dig up his grave and run a DNA on him to confirm his death or maybe he has just followed his mentor Michael to change his identity. Either ways, peoples money is missing and everyone is holding on hope and faith.

Gerry may resurrect one day but till then engage in this article 

 Have you seen the movie?

 Do you believe he is dead? 

Have you be duped or invested in a Ponzi unknowingly?

If you enjoy this, tell me what movie to review next?

I'm rating this a 8 out of 10, what do you rate it?

Thanks for reading,

I love you.

MY CRUSH HATES ME.

 '6 foot 5

Act your size

I've been shy

Now I go talk my mind'.

Tales by moonlight by Tiwa Savage ft Ameerae.

This is my companion for now while I wait for my chilled wine to get me lost in the moment, the sensual innuendo in this song has made me remember all the men i have crushed on for the past 3/4 years. I shouldn't be telling you the meaning of crush at this point, right?

Let me start with my celebrity crush, male of cause. 

My first crush was Olamide Baddo, there is nobody that knew my that I don't introduce Olamide to. I knew almost everything about him then and i dont tolorate any slander on his person. My friend Seyi got tired of me and Olamide at one point. I had all his songs, album and whatever it is he released. It got to a point where i started recommending his songs to everyone around me. I really dont know how that crush ended because now I no longer have time for him.

The next is Davido, I remember I was in my father's parlour when his Single 'Damiduro' aired and since then i was hooked on his this guy. I was always looking foward to his next release then he started dropping albums. I was among the 1000 that downloaded his album. I think I lost the crush when there was a rumour of him attempting to kidnap his child.

Then here comes Falz the Bahd guy, his body and Charisma swept me and still sweeping me off my feet. Ha 'omo tan'. From his Toyin Tomato, to Jamb Question to Celebrity girlfriend and more. There is just something about Falz, his voice, body, caramel topping and more that i wont be saying here before you snatch him from me. Guy is my type. I don't think I have lost him though but he has joined bad gang and stopped giving me quality music. This is Nigeria is still one of my best from him but I have my reservation about his 'child of the world' that song is a NO NO.

The latest is Kizz Daniel, my baby boo. It's his height and lips for me and his carriage. My guy doing his stuff on the low. Shine Shine bobo and his songs are still hitting the right keys in my body. I don't allow my ex rest whenever Kizz releases a new song. I would also beg him to learn any dance steps Kizz does so he can replicate the dance steps for me. I have not broken up with Kizz though, he is sharing my attention with Falz. They can cohabit right, after all women are polygamous in nature.

My wine is here and though I am light weighted, I still love my alcohol and the effects it has on me. I hope you are sipping on something because its about to get hot, like hot hot. I am a firm believer of men chasing after women and I also believe women should go after who they want especially since life is short so let do what makes us happy. Yes a woman should withdraw if there is no exchange of energy, don't wait till you are disrespected. Count your lose and move on if he doesn't like you back.

Omo, this grilled chicken is so spicy. I want to scratch my tongue

If you see my celebrity crush, the pattern with them is they are successful that should give an hint about my crush that I would be talking about. They are complete package, gbagbe 'King by Fireboy'. I am the girl that approach my crush and tell them I like them and there is none that doesn't like me back but as usual it doesn't work out.

D is young , we are about the same age or he slightly older than me but he his very brilliant. He has his English language polished and his argument are always spot on. I like me an outspoken someone and can carry people along without insulting anyone. I remembered I had approached him one night and expressed my feelings and he immediately confirm he had same feelings for me. All was going well between us, send pictures , checking on each other, chatting and boom, Covid killed everything as we were in lock down and it affected our growing relationship, plus the #ENDSARS protest. Emotions were high and that how it ended with him. We still chat after everything but it wasn't like it used to be so we went our separate ways but I tried, right?

AY is the 2nd person i will be talking about, I would try as much as possible not to disclose much for him to be traced because he is such a private person. He is older but I still tried my luck and he also said he liked me back but he refuse to show me. On some days I would reach out, he would never reply me even when its obvious that he is online and making posts. I had to un follow him on social platforms for my sanity at one point because even he had said he like me back why is he leaving me on read. I will add here that I do wait for his messages on days he choose to reach out so that I can also leave him on read. 2 can play the game. 😎 

I actually wanted our ship to sail because even though I have not met him physically, I have this special likeness for him but the special died in the likeness when he gave me one information one day and I even though I was angry because I felt like I wasted my time waiting on him, I am still glad he counted me worthy to inform me first maybe out of respect I don't know or maybe I should ask him before I publish this because I am very sure he would read this. I know him that much. I have stopped crushing on him though he still owe me something whenever we eventually meet. He's the one I call the biggi man 'Motigbana by Olamide' Suprisingly, we are still cool. We still laugh  and make fun of each other whenever we talk but he is a stubborn gooat.

Lets call the last one AD, I think I am at a point where I have stopped crushing on him. You know when you like someone, you hardly see their flaws. He knows I am kind of obsessed about him and he takes that advantage to the fullest. I would literally do anything for him. I would tell him not to treat me in a way but he would do that which I kick against. I would laugh it off or sometimes get angry, which ever way he would get away with it without apology. 

We have not seen each other for a while and I use that while to evaluate our closeness and our 'relationship' It doesn't look like it worth the stress. I guess the likeness have worn off, though If I see him now I would get excited but I don't know how to explain it, he is not bad but he doesn't treat me the way I want.

Or is it me feeling entitled since I approached him first.

I love you.

I SHARED MY PLATE OF FOOD ON OUR FIRST DATE.

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7366191100684419"

 This might have happened two years ago but it is still fresh in my memory because it is the first and one of its kind. Have you ever had a weird first date experience? Please share in the comment box down this blog. I have had a lot of weird first date experience and I hope to share them because these experience also made me pause going on date for a while. I believed I was haunted at that period. 

I have actually resumed going on dates now because I am not getting younger and I love meeting new people. 

 Like I mentioned in one of my blogs that I love shopping, on this day I had gone shopping for groceries in my white 'Zaddy's girl' top and a blue jeans plus a black sneakers and a red handbag. I remembered I wanted to get movie ticket when someone ran towards me. 

'He was like my Oga said I should give you this number and you should call him when you are done'

One of the things I hate is someone approaching me on behalf of another that wants my attention, I see it as a disrespect on my person. If you are not cripple, why can't you approach the woman you like in person. I was very pissed so I told the man to tell go tell his boss to come by himself else before I collect any number.

He ran back to his boss and in like 30secs, the boss showed up and he was like 'you look like you would be tough but I like that'. I smiled and told him how I find what he did disrespectful. He went further by saying he was with his child and wouldn't want her witnessing him talking to another woman on their daddy daughter date. It made me blush though because I love me a responsible parent plus he complimented my dressing and that why I can still remember what I wore till date.

We exchanged number and we started chatting via whatsapp till we were able to fix a lunch date and he specifically asked me to dress to our date the same way he saw me dress. I actually did not read meaning to it till after the date. I was just happy to go on our lunch date.

On the said date, I was to come to his office first then we would go have lunch at anywhere of his choice, He is a lawyer so I understand. I will add here that while i was waiting for him to round of we had a chit chat about his life/ child. He wasn't married and the child live with her mother while he take care of her bills and spend time together during holiday.

I was a heavy eater as at then, I eat till I don't have space and when I discover my stomach is slightly going empty I always fill it up. We got to the restaurant to have lunch and the first he was telling me is how ladies line up there at night to find customers. I was very irritated but I just smiled it off so I can eat my food and go home. 

When the order list arrived, I went through it and he told me to make an order for anything I like while going through his own pamphlet. I thought to myself to try out the fisherman soup on the menu and semovita because I have never had that soup before. I told him my decision and he was like 'thank God we would share the soup' my brow raised up like HELLO, WHO GOES THERE. 

I told him I am not cool with that and he said if I knew how much the soup was in quantity, i would appreciate this gesture as I would not be able to finish it. I told him it doesn't matter if I would finish it or not as this was my order. Who finishes food at a restaurant in the first place, I meeeeeaaan 🙅

The food got ready and he asked that wheat should be prepared for him with no soup. Immediately I was served my food, I washed my hands and started eating 'as e dey hot' while he kept looking at me. That soup had all protein that will do my body good as it was so painful that I had to share. I ate what I could and passed the remaining to him and he said i didn't do good as i would have waited for his food to arrive before I started eating or better still I should have wait for extra plate so I could serve him instead of remaining the soup for him.

I even thought he was angry and wouldn't eat again so I can finish my food in peace but he dipped his hand and started swallowing. I guess that's how I failed the wife material test because I didn't wait for him to be ready before I started eating or offer to serve him separately.

I got home and gisted my boyfriend and he made jest of me on how me and my date cant afford separate meal.

Its fine though, there would be no such humiliation again.

Thanks for reading.

I love you.

Share your weird first date experiences with me.

A SINGLE LADY AT 28 (WHY)

 My name is Opeyemi but I would love to be addressed as Princess Horpsy, I am 28 years old and I am single Nigerian girl. That sounds Pathetic to an average Nigerian parent and they make it feels like a disease 😟😞 but not where I am because I don't subscribe to disrespect.

My mum got married at 28 and ever since I came of age, one of her prayers have been me getting married before 28 years, I also wish to marry early to be truthful because I love the marriage institution, I have always dream of someone sweeping me off my feet and twirl me like a baby girl.

I have meet a lot of men in these few years i have lived, I know a lot of love songs at the tip of my fingers, No, I don't attend weddings because of my being Introverted, the Irony right? Whenever I get the chance to attend any function I am the life of the party like Simi in one of her songs ORIGINAL BABY

                         ' I NO DEY TURN UP BUT I AM THE LIFE OF THE PARTY'

I have a lot of love in me to give and no my case is not the one of meeting the wrong men, I have 70% met right men in my life, the remaining 30% didn't even go far with me because I select those who I share my time and space with but for a reason it just couldn't work out.

I don't have a reason at the tip of my fingers on why it end up not working out but I will go with the Nigerian 'Its not the will of God' or the popular 'Its not me, Its them' line.

I know I have a lot of work to do on my self, maybe my dressing, my environment, reduce my free spirit attitude, go out more and meet new people, attend functions and all but the more I try to change those things, the more tiring it is because I am used to a particular life style and old habits they say die hard. 

I am used to being on my phone 24/7 and even typing this on my laptop feels like a punishment because of the time away from my phone even though its beside me. I love being by myself, chatting with friends and when I am hungry I stroll inside my fridge and find something to munch. I love shopping too especially for groceries, outfit shopping is not for me, I hardly get it right. 

I don't like cooking, I only do that for survival. I find cooking VERY stressful. My house is in a mess too because Its stressful cleaning every time. I also don't allow people visit me even though I live alone. I like my space and I am mostly in my birthday suit. Having people around and looking for cover ups is such an inconvenient.

I recently joined dating site this year because I am looking for someone with a missing ribs that can find me and that will be story for another blog titled 'DATING SITES' . Its been over 2 months and all i can say for now is that it has its pro and con.

I am a very beautiful, smart and intelligent girl with a degree in Banking and Finance, a diploma in fashion, a lot of certifications in health industry, digital marketing, managing a YouTube page of mine and I would really love to blow my horns but I will keep it low for now and I promise you will know more as times go on. 

I love listening to music but I would go really cranky if I don't see a movie in a week. I spend my time eating outs, on the beach and any where there is fun and food. I laugh a LOT, Its a family thing. 😎.

I also enjoy making people laugh, its a me thing. I cannot function where there is no fun and as I am typing thing I am shaking body to 'F you by Kizz Daniel' 

Kizz Daniel is one of my celebrity crush and I have a lot of crush which I would be sharing later on this Page.

I am not the type to give up on love, would never subscribe to that. I know someone is somewhere looking for me and he would all worth the wait.

I would stop here till my next Blog, I hope you would find it interesting and always come back for new notes from me.

I love you.

Drop a comment If you are also in the same shoe as mine, I will love to read from you.
