CHAPTER ONE- LIFE OF KEISHA
KEISHA'S POV
"You've put on so much weight," George, my fiancé said to me, an irritated look on his face and I immediately turned to the mirror beside me, staring at it with a sad smile.
"I know," I sighed painfully. "I'm trying everything I can to lose weight but it's not working,"
Things were not always like this. Just about a year ago, I was the perfect girlfriend for George.
Happy, vibrant, and fulfilled. Not until I was diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance called PCOS. It was an ovarian syndrome that causes fertility issues and one of the side effects was weight gain and difficulty in losing it. It made me have extreme cravings and gain weight uncontrollably.
I knew it was my hormonal imbalance working but I felt guilty for eating food. Sometimes, I would go to the bathroom and stuff my hand into my mouth so I could vomit everything I'd eaten. I tried diets and workouts but none of it was working. George's treatment towards me changed immediately I added weight.
He called me all sorts of names and would always make reference to it. He even postponed our wedding because all of a sudden, he was not ready.
I know it's because of the weight and it hurts. It hurts to know that the person you love with all your heart would switch on you because of a challenge you're facing.
It's not like I wanted this to happen or I wasn't doing anything about it. I was trying everything I could but nothing was working. I was so frustrated and angry. "At this rate, you won't be able to fit through the door," he sneered, standing up from the bed with a look of irritation on his face.
"Where are you going? Remember you promised me a date tonight," I reminded him.
"I'm not in the mood," he said and walked out of the room.
My mouth curved in a sad smile and tears slowly streamed down my eyes and I let out a deep breath, trying to control my emotions but it wasn't working.
