Battle against pot belly
While growing up, I was very skinny, it is a result of not eating well and I also did not give myself rest of mind...
I am always out with friends, either playing football or PlayStation, I get so engrossed in the fun that I don't think about food and when hunger really strikes that I cannot bear it anymore, it is often garri[eba] that I eat because that is my dad's favorite..
So all that made me very skinny, fast forward to the year after secondary school, I stopped the extroverted lifestyle I was living, I had a change in lifestyle, I took work more seriously and went from being skinny to being normal...
At some point, I started gyming which made me kinda hefty and I had a good chunk of muscle as well, I was okay with my stature and didn't plan to add more weight or even want to be fat...
I maintained that stature for years until 3 years ago when I noticed my stomach was getting bigger.
This is a result of working from home and eating late-night food, working from home made me so lazy in terms of exercise because the only time I go out is when I want to buy food or I had a call and my presence is needed somewhere which hardly happen...
There was a time I got used to eating late-night food, jollof, plantain, and turkey every night and this was exactly what resulted in my pot belly lol... i stopped immediately I figured out...
I didn't stop eating my favorite food though, I just changed the timing, instead of late at night, I started eating it in the evening but that was not enough to get my tummy flat...
Fox[quduus1] and I attended a gym class that lasted for a month, the training was hard at first we find it difficult to even do some correctly but as time goes on, we adjust and get used to them....it really helped to flatten my stomach but I have stopped the class now since the change in environment and I can feel my stomach growing bigger again...
I am sure once I start going out again, everything will go down, I am the kind of person that loses weight when I deal with stress or stay in the midst of a crowd for too long...
There are two things that are very important if you do not want to gain weight...
Avoid late-night food.
Exercise daily to keep fit.
The problem is, it is easier said than done, many people love eating late at night and most people are very lazy to exercise or work out...
I might start doing home work out again, i just need to download the app..

Potbelly will even fit you bro 😂
You need to show us the belly first before I can remark, lol.
lol fit me ke, well people say it is a sign of good life but no way!
You must have small na
Hahaha
I know how that feels. Just try not to eat very late at night and you can also download the app. Let us see if it will be helpful
yea i stopped the late-night food😁, downloading the app is one thing, doing the exercise is another thing, i just hope laziness won't just make me download the app for nothing lol
Well eating late at night will always be the chief reason for a pot belly but I don't think it's something that you should beat yourself too much about. Unless maintaining a flat tummy means so much to you. In that case you'll just have to compromise and make some sacrifices.
I am not really worried about it, flat tummy does not really matter to me as well but you know it is good to be in control of your shape, if I just put on a nonchalant attitude, it may go out of proportion so I also need to be wary so I won't end up with a big fat pot belly😁
While some are trying to lose weight some of us are eating everything edible just to gain weight.
Irony of life
don't worry, when you eventually gain the weight, you will cherish the old slim you😉
Lol I don’t think so ooo

Potbelly is so annoying to people because it inconvenience alot
it doesn't really inconvenience me though but keeping fit is the goal
Almost everyone became fatty during the time of lockdown and the same thing happened to you. I also faced that situation but I was never interested in going to the gym or taking physical exercise. I only do walk more and more. Besides I think I never restrict my food habit and at the current time I am fit without doing anything.😅
yea going out really helps but i am stuck in the four corners of the room, once i start going out too , i will be fit without really doing anything like you
Lol, dey play oh, you doing home work outs lol, i will remind you hehe, ahhhhh bot belly is coming again in this dip??? you are a big man indeed lol, late night food is not really an issue in my case, i think it is the way each and everyone of us have different body structures, i do late night eating alot but i am still the same hehe, please go and get rid of that pot belly oh hehe...
you can't even have a pot belly because you are always burning your calories by going out or gisting with friends, so you are using your body well, and no way you can have a pot belly. maybe when you start being so quiet and not moving around like me, pot belly will locate you lol
Lol 😂 never 👎 😂
Hahaha 😂😂
Pot belly burl...sorry , but then working on losing weight is not really easy to practice by majority of people. I have succeeded in maintaining a good general body shape even after three kids but my Tommy is still a whole lot of work to be done
I hope to leave my comfort zone and get rid of that belly fat
yes, kudos to you nkem, even after 3 kids, you still look fit, not many can achieve that... as for your tummy that will take a lot of work since child birth is part of what cause yours, i guess
The thing is that our body can't be the same as it is a year ago, there will changes no matter what and to keep the change moderately, we have to take some measures.
Comfortability in life comes with a price, the tendency of getting big is high when we get too comfortable and don't have means of burning those calories. The pot belly, you will definitely figure something out.
you are so right man, comfort comes with a price... once i start going out now, my tommy will be flat again, that is all i need
Sooooo true. It is easier than done. I am doing both the things.
Both seem difficult to quit. Hehe. Mesns my tummy won't be flat soon. Oooops.
yea it is indeed difficult to quit eating late night food especially if you are so used to it and there is a lot of delicacy around to eat, many people really hate exercise except they found themselves doing it together with a group of people, that will be a source of motivation
Right. A group is helpful.
Late night eating is because of my husband’s routine. He comes back home quite late.
Omo, even downloading the app isn't a guarantee that you'll work at home... Talking from experience 😂😂
lol you get it right, one home workout app is on my android and i can't even remember the last time i log into it, when i just downloaded it, i did like 5 out of the 24 that was recommended daily for like 3 days and i stopped lol
Probably our body system is different, I can eat even middle of night and still no pot belle , I should happy then.. but pot belle is a sign of rich man now or am I getting it wrong
There are some other factors to be considered, do you go out daily? that way you will lose the excess fat in your body, do you work offline too? all those things are exercise too
Before I can't do without late night food and when I wake up very early I will head to the kitchen as if I was in a battle field in my sleep.
But when I noticed that I have become lazy to the extent that I can't walk for 2minute and some of my clothes doesn't fit me again I stopped late night food and early morning food
Then Google for some exercise that can make me loss weight
did you end up doing those exercises you googled? or laziness didn't let you do them as well cos it is really not easy to do them without others to motivate them, i think this is why many people prefer going to the gym to work out
