I recently spotted this video by blogger Ola Dipo, a plus-sized fashion blogger, and makeup artist who is also a Registered Nurse. Dipo, who blogs at Road to Fashionable, decided to clear the air with her followers and share her own thoughts on her weight loss of over 100 pounds.
Dipo stressed that health was her main motivation as she was diagnosed with high blood pressure. As a Registered Nurse she knew the long term risks and complications associated with her diagnoses. While Dipo maintains that she was always happy and confident in her body, she also admitted to feeling more confident in herself when tasked with educating her patients about diabetes and weight-related health complications. She also broke down her feelings when dealing with some of the less than tactful comments she has received from friends and acquaintances about her weight loss. Watch the video below.
