Gozie nwa Sammie

by Jan 27, 2022

I woke up today and decided to tell me that I am doing well. I still have 4kg to lose but I am not returning to the gym till February 1st. I am still saving for the gym fee😎😎😎😎😎. Even if I don’t lose the 4kg, I am still Gọzie nwa Sammy, nwunye Emmy before death took him, mama Chisom. Nobody puts me under pressure, not even the 4kg.

Listen, you have issues when you keep waiting for who sees how well you’re doing to commend you. Nne, can’t you see how well you’re doing and can’t you commend You?

You drag yourself for any small mistake? You wish you were someone else? Ahhhhhh!

Next? I am working on my face and still have blemishes and I don’t even use the facial products I have as regurlay as I should. It makes me happy to give out to others who are more disciplined in uasge and those blemishes won’t make me wear make up all day. At almost 51, I am not doing badly.

You see, there is no place for gari on my meal plan but when my soup is so delicious and all those healthy swallow will kill my taste of it, I boil water and make gari and swallow it proudly and of course take my insulin as needed.

I see a lot of struggle to be, to be what exactly? To be you or to be who the society thinks you should be even when that’s not who you’re meant to be?

Set your goals please. Work hard, compete with yourself and improve on who you were. Biko don’t come to my wall as a widow or female and beat yourself down for now having my weight, body size, my photography habits and my many wigs…😜😜😜😜😜😜.

Don’t look at my building and ask God why he’s kept in you in a yard nỄ. If I tell you how much I do to maintain here, you will come down here and hug me and give me money gift.

Don’t look at my children and wish yours like them, inukwa. You have the best for you.

The regrets you keep expressing over things you were not able to do won’t help you so much. Rather than sit in the dump of regrets which builds resentment, why don’t you just look back to where your journey started, list your wins and victory, commend yourself and keep it moving. Then look back at mistakes and failures, correct them and learn from them and determine never for them to repeat and also keep it moving.

This write up should actually be on my blog and not here. Anyway, while it is still here, thank you for reading.

My plan for lunch is white local rice, honey beans and Igbotic stew with fresh stockfish. Let me call my madam so she can buy fresh nchuanwu na afia Abakpa on her way to work. I have never wished I could have a taste of some meals, the ones I am gifted to eat and enjoy, I focus on them and if not for portion control maka diabetes, just tell me why I will not eat this meal as breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Good morning and enjoy your weekend. This is my writing as therapy weekend so expect more of my write ups here and in my blog, www.gozieudemezue.com/blog and you need to stop by there. If you do, please leave me a comment.
