Let’s be honest: there are days when your belly feels like it has a personal attitude — tight, heavy, stretched, and just not cooperating.

Let’s just say it: in Nigeria, if you’re slim, everyone assumes you’re healthy. They clap for you. They call you “lepa goals.” They say, “At least you’re not fat.” Meanwhile, you’re panting after two flights of stairs, living on bread and Pepsi, and your skin glows only because of ring light and prayer.
It’s wild.
Some of the “slimmest” people you know are tired, always sick, stressed, bloated, constipated, and running on vibes and Indomie. But because they fit the cultural aesthetic, nobody checks what’s actually happening inside.

Let’s be honest, trying to “get fit” when you have fibroids or PCOS can feel like carrying a brick in your stomach while the whole world shouts, “Just try harder.”
You’re tired but you push. You finally work out, and instead of feeling strong, you feel bloated, crampy, moody, and defeated. Someone tells you to “go harder,” but they don’t know what it feels like when your hormones feel like they’re fighting you from inside your own skin.
