THIGH GAP

THIGH GAP

Greetings my avid readers, my number one hype men, the silver lining in every cloud, my cheerleaders? Hope you're all happy and healthy. I apologise, I know its been a while since I posted but I am BACK and ready to share the real truth of weight loss....hope I have your attention. Aki don't throw stones, I am now here to stay.

First of all, it has been a whirlwind of months and I shall be celebrating two years post-op and 76 kgs this December the 19th....so proud of myself and my other comrades who were and still are on this journey with me and for themselves.

So I decided moving forward, I will write on the unique body changes that I have undergone and highlight the truth and emotions I have been blessed to experience. 

So now, I finally have a thigh gap, can I hear an AMEN. The day I met her (my thigh gap), I was like hellllllo girlfriend? where have you been all these years? soo nice to finally meet you....I know you've been shy for a couple years but now is as good as any time ever sooo welcome! The day I met her, I stood in front of the mirror for maybe 30 minutes admiring the space she had blessed me with. I remember that feeling all too well, I wanted to cry, I wanted to laugh, I wanted to high five myself, I wanted to take a picture and share with with everyone  but how was I going to explain what it was?! But the most interesting feeling I had, was the urge to pass through items from one end to another just to see if it was possible and I would bend over in front of the mirror to see her from behind, she was beautiful😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

So I decided I was going to debut her in some size 12 jeans that sucked the air and cellulite out of my body 😜...I wore my jeans with a light and airy chiffon turquoise top, paired it with some sleek black heels and carried the tiniest purse so that it couldn't take away the attention from the thigh gap we were debuting 😀. I remember walking up to my mother in the living room and exclaiming mama I have a thigh gap, all she did was laugh and say I hope you're still going to wear the abaya 😕, I was like but how will my thigh gap meet my friends and the world if I've covered her up 😞? SO yeah mama won the war but not the battle. Come to think of it, mama actually gave me an opportunity to present her in a dramatic fashion, because I would fling the abaya to the back for an effect like Micheal Jackson would do with his jacket and stand there and say BEHOLD my thigh gap to my friends..often at times it would work and sometimes I would be met with with a puzzling look and I imagine cricket sounds 😂😂😂😂😂....they would ask what? and I would respond can you not see her as I pointed out to the thigh gap 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂...a few moments later.... they would be like WOOOOOOOOOW you have a thigh gap and then an awkward silence would follow shortly because really what else could they say? It's not like there could be further questions about it right? I mean its just a space that allows you to look might FINE in a pair of pants, tights and yes some stockings. 

For me it was a HUGE win, my thighs before were tighter than TIGHT itself, I never ever had anything falling in-between, they were soo together that I was jealous of their loyalty for each other, sometimes I would have to probe them open and I promise you I actually believed I could HATCH an egg between them because LORDT, the heat and the friction....I know you understand me!!! I would have to talk to them every morning and ask them to be a little kinder to me. I would dread going to the coastal region because my thighs would rub soo hard against each other I could start a FIRE and not the type of fire I needed in my life. Just thinking about it I am hit with mixed emotions, I still love the old me but I love the new me more because I am healthier and happier. 

I am glad to say she's still in my life, she's my best friend, she never disappoints and we're still going STRONG. So as I sign off to begin my day with "the way you look tonight" by Frank Sinatra playing in the background, my heart is warm, my energy right and wish you all a lovely day ahead 😍.
