Get to know me
Introduction :-)
Hi readers!
My name is Ghfitnessnubian. I am a 19 year old uni student. Born in the Netherlands to two Ghanaian parents. Currently residing in England, and have been for the last 6 years. I'm an introvert (which is why I won't disclose my real name just yet, because I am a shy person, who likes her privacy) most likely to be perceived as an outgoing friendly person by others. So who knows, I may have split personalities! The reason I've decided to type this today is because I want to embark on a healthy weight loss journey.
Background
The reason why I have decided to do this is because I have been overweight almost my whole life, and quite frankly I am getting a bit tired. You could say I am almost worn out with the weight I am carrying now. I currently weigh my highest which is 250 or more, I haven't weighed my self since before I moved to university almost a month ago. I am 5"8 and a bit, so you could say that I am quite a big girl!
I haven't had any serious health problems, but if I gain anymore weight, I am prone to have diabetes, serious heart problems or even cancer. (God forbid!) Just a couple of years ago I've been told by doctors that I'm borderline obese. Which scared me a little. You would think because of this reason, I would be on it like an experimental guinea pig, get started on a plan, and take care of my health. You though wrong, all I did was panic and just left it, thinking the problem would go away. I gained 20 more pounds. See that's the problem with me, I tend to leave things till I worsen the situation. I hope to change all that as I start this journey.
Aims and ambitions
Throughout this journey, obviously I want to lose weight and be healthy forever and ever. However my aim is to flourish as a human being. I want to develop and learn a lot of things, while hopefully inspire and help other people . you see, I have always been passionate about other people. you could probably label me the 'people person'. The amount of times I've been wanted to just concentrate on myself and only myself never seems to work, because always tend to help other people as well. Which I guess is a good thing. However I would also like to think that this would be the time to think of me generously. ;-D
I am not an expert in training, I am not even half way. I am not saying this journey will be smooth sailing. There will be bumps on the way and I may fall sometimes, but my aim is to get up and get on with it!
And Finally...
My aim is to write on this platform at least once a week, for any one who would be willing to read this. I also have an Instagram page, which is @ghanaianfitnessqueen which is currently like a ghost town, but I tend to update it every once in a while. For anyone out there whose going through the same journey as I am please please don't hesitate to let me know, and we could share it with each other.
