Hey everyone! Today, I have to admit something that I realized while re-watching my own video – the reason why I can’t lose weight, you guys!
The Moment I Realized the Truth
You know, when I was sitting there editing my video, I looked at the screen and thought, “Oh my gosh, look at this girl eating!” I was attacking the plate of food like it was my last meal on earth. I had to pause the video and tell myself, “This is exactly why I can’t lose weight!”

My Passion for Egusi Soup
That day, I was in Atlanta and went to a West African restaurant to enjoy some egusi soup with fufu – one of my favorite dishes. You know what I had to do! I couldn’t resist.
After praying and thanking God for this meal, I started digging in. The soup was thick, with lots of veggies, a little bit of spice, and loaded with delicious palm oil. I ate it with fufu, and my hands didn’t stop!
What’s My Problem?
You see, my problem is that I eat like they won’t serve me another meal ever again. I’m “grubbing” and “smacking” – eating like I’m starving and making sounds while chewing – like someone who hasn’t eaten in days. Meanwhile, I know tomorrow there will be another meal, but my body acts like there’s no tomorrow!
I Can’t Resist Delicious Food
Trinity Diner in Cincinnati – where I usually go for fufu – has temporarily closed, and I’m really sad about that. So, every time I’m in Atlanta, I have to make the most of it and enjoy these dishes. This is a legitimate reason, right? (I’m just justifying myself here!)
The Final Confession
So, there you go! This is exactly why I can’t lose weight. It’s not because of a lack of motivation, not because I don’t know what to do, but simply because I love food too much, and I eat like there’s no tomorrow!
But you know what? Life is too short not to enjoy good food. I’ll try to balance better, but who knows, when there’s a plate of delicious egusi soup waiting for me!
