Comedian and actress Bose Ogunboye, better known as Lepacious Boseย has recounted the sad memories and pains she went through in a bid to shed excessive weight.
She took to her Instagram page to detail to her fans on the numerous setbacks and body-shaming she faced in her journey.
Recounting a memory she had on the plane, she wrote a lengthy post that read as:
โSee mouth .. No it is not a movie and no one died.
This was the first time I would travel in years without needing a seat belt extension!!!!! I simply pulled the belt and it clicked and I broke down in the plane and criedโฆ..oh how I criedโฆ..i cried for so many reasons.
- For the shame I felt for years every-time the plane crew handed the extension to me and the look people gave me.
- I cried because I remembered traveling with a group of comedians (great guys) but I did not want then to make fun of me, I flew 6 hours without using a seat beltโฆโฆ I could not bear to ask for extension and I acted like it was together.
- I cried because I remembered how many times I held the seat belt in a car so that lasma would not stop me but the seat belt never connected so I just held it till I passed them.
- I cried for a million and one reasons I can not write aboutโฆ..
- I cried because I remembered how many times I got to sit by the exit with leg room and i was politely told I was too overweight to sit thereโฆ..in case of an emergency it is assumed a big person will not move fast enoughโฆโฆ Hmmmโฆ
- I cried because I remembered various times I sat beside evil nasty people in planes who acted like sitting beside me was depriving them of oxygenโฆโฆ
- Oh I cried. And when google photos popped this picture this morning I cried againโฆโฆ Not because am sad or miserable but because am GRATEFUL! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BE THAT WOMAN.. Good morning champions
