,

At 16 years, I was a whooping 80kg This was not even an issue because i was big boned and we are big boned in my family. Well, until i landed in the hospital one day and my blood pressure was checked and boom! It was high! The checked again and it was still high..

Ha, i am still young na! I remember screaming at my mother.

Ok... So i consoled myself that we have high bp in my family so...oh well. It is genetics.

So i kept living my life going from one diet to another. I lose weight, gain it back. Lose again. Gain again. Then one day, i had an asthmatic attack! Yes, i am asthmatic.

I literally thought, that was it. Let me try to explain what happens during an attack. It is like someone stuffs your nose with thick cardboard papers and seals your nostrils with sellotape. So you are trying to breathe, but the air is not passing. , it is a tough experience.

After all intervention and resuscitation, doctor told me to try to lose some weight. I knew this time, i had to do it for real. No more yoyo dieting.

That was 11 years ago. I learnt the art of intermittent fasting and learnt to do it for my health. Yes, there is an art to fasting.

As i type you this letter, the weather in my city is extremely dusty and cold. When the weather changed 3 days ago, i was slightly afraid of an attack. I got my inhalers on standby, nebulizer on stand by too. My eyes are red but my body is thriving. I even went for a light jog last night! No attacks!

I checked my BP earlier and we are thriving at a comfortable 120/80mmHg.

One of my sisters, Rayo said 'Your body is the only thing that holds your spirit to this world.' You must take care of that body.
