The comedienne made a touching post on Instagram about her weight loss journey...
''So I notice I have never gotten into the WCW
thing lol.... I finally decided to crush on ME today.
Don't get me wrong I am absolutely in love with myself, I
love to take pictures and talk about my weight loss experience but that took
over 25 years of my life.
The devil stole 25 years of my life due to weight and
hypothyroidism. I suffered in silence because no one understood my issues, I
didn't even understand myself.
I hated myself and was constantly suicidal yet I made people
laugh (what an irony). I cracked jokes about my weight because it was the only
way I knew to look like I didn't care. Yet I cared!!! Countless times I would
have a great performance but drive home in tears, it was a crazy, roller
coaster feeling. It was not just the weight it was much more but I could not
explain it. I was scared. I would be on stage and have a brain fog and forget a
joke right in the middle of delivery, just go blank, and have to come up with
stuff on the spur of the moment to cover for the lapse, I started to dread
performing. Trust me I have gotten into my car before and took me about 10 mins
to remember exactly where I was going, I just sat there, tears of frustration
rolling down. (One day I will write it all in a book). It's hard enough to
loose weight but to loose weight while having hypothyroidism is almost like
fighting demons, I just wanted to sleep and not wake up, why won't God be kind
and do that for me? I could not sleep unless I was heavily sedated with
sleeping pills and could not boot in the morning without a strong cup of
coffee.... Am still trying to loose about 20kg, it's getting harder lol... It's
getting more difficult to say no to things I used to love lol.... It's been
almost 5 years on this crazy but amazing journey, 5 years of pain, tears,
frustration, laughter, joy and triumph.... 5years of wanting so badly to Bing
on a bowl of ice cream or a bag of malteasers but not giving in. 5 years of
dreaming of chease cake lol.... I might dream for a long time. 5 years and a
lifetime to go, because I AM WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
MY NAME IS LEPACIOUS BOSE AND I AM A THYROID WARRIOR, A
SURVIVOR. #stilltoolegittoquit''
Watch her workout videos...
This is so inspiring.
And it's a life long struggle...
Keep up the fight, Bose.
