HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR CURVES.

-
Image
At one point in life or the other, we have all been self-conscious about how we look and how others perceive us. Hollywood has created this ridiculous stereotype that for you to be viewed as sexy, you have to fit a particular body type. I have started several workout programs after watching Beyoncé’ singing or watching a movie where the actress looked for ridiculously hot. Those programs did not last long because I was trying to look like someone else. Everybody is unique, just because you have curves does not mean you are unhealthy. I have been with people who I admire because they workout, they eat a healthy balanced diet but they also do not deny themselves that treat one’s in a while. They have curves, and they are proud of them because they are living a full, well-balanced life. Getting to the point where you accept yourself for who you are and live your best life is hard, but we are here to help with that. We came up with several tips to help you embrace your curves. ...

MY STRUGGLE WITH DEPRESSION

-

The Fast Fit Africa Club is a club for people who believe that no matter their size, color or ethnicity, we are all beautiful.

For so long I struggled with self-hatred and depression because I believed that I was not perfect or worthy.

I compared myself to my friends and found myself short.

Several times I used the word "loser" to describe myself.

Then one day I was standing on top of a hill and I considered jumping. I thought hell this is the end of the road for me, there is no going up. Nothing is working for me anymore. I am not worthy of being alive.

The thought that nobody loved me anymore and no one will miss me when I am gone crossed my mind.

I felt worthless.

I felt like I was at the end of my rope.

I will not say that that was the moment I heard the voice of God calling my name.

I did not have any revelation at that moment.

Nothing spectacular happened, but I found that I could not do it.

I could not jump.

I walked back home crying blaming myself because I even thought about jumping down that hill.

What kind of person thinks that?

What kind of person is not grateful that they are alive?

I was never this gloomy or sad before, in fact, I had big dreams and I believed that I could achieve them all.

All I had to do was try a little harder.

Fight a little bit more and then I will be okay.

Yet I just kept sinking and sinking into this deep hole of losing out all the time.

I was working out, eating right and not losing weight to my "ideal weight".

I was reading yet I kept failing in my studies.

I was starting businesses yet they just kept flopping.

I was applying for jobs and no one would even call me in for an interview.

I was not asking for too much, why had God turned against me?

Why was my life such a mess?

I felt like the world had turned against me.

I was all alone and the wind against me was too strong, too much.

In my head, no one could help me, no one understood.

They say when you are at your lowest, you come to understand just how strong you are.

What I am writing today is a success story, not because I finally lost all the weight, or even 
got a job or even passed in my studies.

I am writing a success story because I came to realize that I cannot control life.
I came to realize that I am perfect just the way I am, I might not look like Kim Kardashian or Beyon'ce, I look like me.

I came to realize that no, God had not turned against me, in fact, He was guiding my every move.

He wanted me to know just how strong I can be.

Hard times are never meant to break us, they are meant to make us stronger.

I did not come to this realization overnight, it took a lot of crying, a lot of begging God to save me from this omen, it took a lot of falling on my face for such a long time.

I am here to say that I am still alive.

As long as I am awake, I shall keep fighting.

So should you.

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT DO IT YOURSELF.

Do It Yourself TO SUCCESS. The saying goes that if you want something done right, you better do it yourself yet successful people have come to learn that if you want it done right delegate. The trick is in finding a balance between doing it yourself and delegating duties. I still believe that when you want to make it, especially at the beginning of your business the trick is to do it yourself. By doing it yourself, you get to learn new stuff and know your business inside out. You get to shape your company’s foundation just the way you want it to be. That way you determine how your success will look like in future. Creative people understand this more than anyone else. You imagine something and take it to the artisan to make it, and they end up ruining it. This is because they do not get the vision the way you do. Otherwise, if you want it done right then, you have to give very detailed instructions. Woe unto you if the artisan cannot read or visualize. When you do it yourse...
