It's hard to believe I use to be fat, I don't take pictures then, (I still prefer being on the other end of the camera 😂) so if you never knew me then, you would probably think I'm telling a lie. However, those that have seen me shirtless will definitely believe as the signs are still in my body. But then again I did not didn't do anything to lose weight. I use to be so fat that I couldn't run, people will often say I was round, not fat, especially my stomach 😂. But it didn't stop me from doing the things I wished I could do, I will still want to run, jump and play rough, sometimes it was hard to catch my breath, but I because I really wanted to do these things, I wouldn't stop no matter what.
Like I said, I did not do anything to become slim, I fell sick, and was continually falling sick for almost six months straight, by the time I recovered, I gained my appetite and Lost weight. How wired right? My mum had always complained that I don't eat, at a time she took me to the hospital because of how bad it was, but I remember how the doctor looked at me with a smile and told her I will eat when the time comes. Before then there was no type of multivitamin my mum had not given me, but all efforts proved abortive.
After my sick period, I became so slim that you will never know I was once fat, although I was given some drugs to take every three months so I don't get another episode of that sickness. (It was a blood disease) at age 18, at the beginning of my second year in school, my parents had sent money to get my meds, but I used it for something else, I can no longer remember what I used it for, but at that time it was important.
When I was two months overdue for my meds, I feel so sick again that my school had to call my parents, I was so sick that they couldn't take me home, so the idle thing to do was to get to the nearest hospital. Long story short, that was the last time I feel sick, I can't remember taking the drugs again, over 6 years now, I lost weight, and I'm unable to gain it back. Maybe sometime in the future when I'm more settled physiologically I will gain weight but for now, I'm happy with how I am.
I wouldn't lie I still wish I could grow even a little at this period, because I love going to morning road works, and people often look at me like what the hell is this guy doing, aren't you slim enough, or do you want to break before you realize you are slim 😂. Going for road walks helps me clear my head, I think better when I'm on the go. But then again I still wish I added a little more weight.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today, until next time.
