A chubby image reflected through his camera lens.

Maybe you only realized that you’d put on a lot of weight because you saw a reflection of yourself in a shop's window while passing by.


It all began during the lockdown period when all I did was eat, sleep, and watch movies, I never realized the effect it might have on me.

One day I decided to declutter my closet and revamp old outfits, I intended to take them to my tailor, but when I started to fit in some of my clothes, they wouldn't fit anymore.

My husband told me it was because I had added weight which I didn't agree to.
So I asked him to take a shot of me with his phone which he did.

What I saw surprised me, that image of mine that was reflected through the camera lens was chubby, very chubby, I still didn't believe it, yes, you can call me a doubting Thomas, so I went straight to my room, I have a tape measurement rule, I decided to use it to measure myself, turns out that truly I had gained weight.

I was not so happy with it because my tummy added weight too, which meant I will have to work out to keep fit.
I and my husband started the workout every workout and it wasn't so easy to keep up.

Some days I will give excuses why I couldn't partake in the workout, but he kept encouraging me.

I also reduced my intake of junk, and carbonated drinks and decided to use the rest of my lockdown period to do productive things, that was when I learned how to make liquid soap, the process of turning the soap is enough to make me lose weight. Lol.

As time passed by, I noticed my tummy had reduced and I was now in good shape, I took more shots to compare the before and after which proved I had worked hard to keep fit.

Since then, whenever I take pictures, I ensure to check if I wasn't adding fat to my tummy, I always zoom my pictures to be very sure of what I saw, I don't mind having a chubby face, but fat in my tummy is a no-no for me.

Tummy fat can be very disheartening as it has a way of spoiling a person's shape. It's a good thing that you took action before it was too late. Now, you're proud of the shape you have.✨

You use a good tactic to confirm what your physical appearance looks like, @lydiapauline ! You have a partner husband and your determination of what is not acceptable to you. Thank you so much for posting your story in our community. We look forward to seeing your comments on the other stories.

In times of pandemic, many gained weight due to sedentary lifestyles, good that your husband encouraged you to exercise to regain your figure, greetings🤗

Being fit means not only looking good but also being in good health. Fatness always brings diseases and lowers self-esteem. Have a healthy routine, exercise and eat well They help to lead a good quality of life.

Thanks for sharing.
Good day.
