In this episode, I'm getting completely unfiltered about my body — the weight gain cycles, a sugar addiction that nearly tipped me into pre-diabetes, and the honest conversation I had to have with myself before anything actually changed.This isn't about chasing a body type or caving to outside pressure. It's about getting real with yourself, understanding your body, and building habits that actually stick. If you've ever felt stuck in the same cycle with your weight, your cravings, or your relationship with food — this one is for you.Subscribe and join the community as we figure out this adulting thing together, one conversation at a time.Chapters00:00 - Introduction:01:47 - External Pressure: Nigerian Culture & Body Commentary02:35 - Reframing Your Mindset Around Body Image05:19 - What Do You Actually Want For Your Body?08:17 - The Pregnancy Planning That Changed Everything09:54 - Finding Your Own “Why” For Fitness10:33 - Safety & Survival As A Fitness Motivator13:43 - My Weight Loss Journey Through The Years17:03 - My Sugar Addiction Problem20:29 - What Is A GLP-1 & How It Works26:50 - My Current Fitness Routine (Trainer, Boxing, Barre & Lifting)30:12 - My Current Nutrition Approach (Meal Prep, Protein & Fiber)34:00 - Final Thoughts & Key Takeaways____________________ Watch more on Video: The very first episode of Season 1 ⬇️I’m Starting Life Over at 29 - Ep 01 https://youtu.be/rucAJBDkc3cYou might like another episode ⬇️Abstinence, Sexuality, & Dating At 30 as a Christian - Ep 16 https://youtu.be/9ZiruNLbnq8?si=NUOwA_zNB5GU0ZTBAn Honest Conversation with my African Dad on Addiction - Ep09https://youtu.be/_j8TtWodLccThere's more for Season 2⬇️Am I still Christian?
