HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR CURVES.

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.

ONLY THOSE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT WILL UNDERSTAND? WEIGHT LOSS STRUGGLE

-


Have I mentioned to you how much my desire to lose weight has broken my heart several times?

Most days, it feels like I am ramming my head onto a stone wall several times.

If my body could talk, it would say Lynn is such a bitch.

Mention any quick hacks to weight loss; I have tried it.

The lemon water, the apple cider vinegar, and my favorite a mixture of apple cider vinegar and Aloe Vera, I gag just thinking about the awful taste. The crash diets, like the military diet and the egg diet.

The constant exercising, putting my body through a lot of cardio (at times even two hours of jump rope.)

Nothing has worked at that; all I did was hurt my body.

At the beginning of this year, I just said enough.

Enough is enough, no more torturing my beautiful body, and I started this journey to live a simple happy life.

I stopped all those diets and strenuous exercises and went vegan.

I struggled so much with weight loss, and when I tried dieting or working out like crazy, and it did not work, I felt like such a loser.

I internalized that feeling, and it led to depression.

So I know a thing or two about struggling to lose weight, even though I have lost some weight now, I refuse to let it take over my life currently.

Here are some things we understand as weight loss strugglers (haha I decide to call us that like we are in some type of club or something.)

1. Starting exercise, being sore the next day, and then stopping after a day or two.
2. Eating much more food after exercising thinking, we deserve it since we worked out.
3. Then some are afraid to eat and want to cut out everything from their diet, especially carbs; that usually lasts an hour or at most a day.
4. Buying everything that promises fast results like Apple Cider Vinegar and lemons, all this gave me was hyper acidity.
5. The most devastating though is when you work out and eat “right,” but when you go to measure your weight, you discover you have gained weight. I know it is said to be muscles, but that moment is soul crashing.

What I can say I have learned along the way is that life is a long journey with a lot of bumps; try to hold on to the small things that matter.

DEAR PRECIOUS YOU - WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT DURING COVID-19 [SIMPLEHAPPYSELF]

I do not know about you but deep down I am scared. I am scared about what will happen to me, I am scared for my family, I am scared for my job security, I am scared for my country and most important of all I am scared for the whole human population. The Covid-19 came to us like a thief in the night, no warning, no time to prepare. One day we were fine and going about our businesses, a few weeks or months later everything changed. The bridges that we formed as a society were crossed. Nobody was safe anymore. Rich or poor. White or black. Babies or the young or the elderly Man or woman. Africa or the USA. We are all affected. Jobs closed. Countries locked down. Gatherings whether happy or sad shutdown. Churches, schools and places of worship are closed. At this moment, nobody knows what is going to happen to the world. We are all at the edge of our seats, waiting with baited breathe for it to blow over. I would love to wake up tomorrow and find

COME TO WORK WITH ME: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS I TOOK AGAINST COVID-19

Excitement fills each pore in my body as I get out of bed, another great day that the Lord has granted me. As usual, I wake at six o’clock and prepare to head to work. It is not a normal day like I am used to; even as I leave my house today I have to be careful. I have to stay on alert and take care of myself. With the corona virus spread around the world, finally, it has made its way into Kenya. I appreciate the government for taking very swift measures and encouraging those who can work from home to do so. Unfortunately, I fall into the category of people who cannot work from home. Even though I do not live hand to mouth where I depend on everyday wages, my job involves a lot of physical work where I have to be present and the inventory is too large and equipment too expensive to carry home. I appreciate my employer for considering my safety and dividing the number of people who have to report to work into three groups of seven people to reduce congestion and
