It is rare to see people promoting the natural and healthier way of losing weight, but one woman on TikTok dared to show off her natural weight loss journey. The woman shared with her TikTok followers a celebratory moment of losing over 8 kg in only ten days.

Lee Maboi filmed herself before she started her body transformation. She was seen wearing a very tight dress that almost burst the zip because of her full figure. Still, in just 10 days, the dress nearly zipped up on its own because of the drastic weight she had lost in a short amount of time.

The fitness queen captioned her post:

"This diet is working wonders for me. I’ll do it often until I achieve my dream weight. The goal is to burn as much body fat as I can while developing lean muscle. As you can see from the picture, abs are slowly coming out to play and I’m here for it.

SA reacts to lady losing belly fat easily

A Clinical Psychologist, Vuyolwethu Tuluma explained what body dysmorphia is and its key features. Tuluma shared that the mental health condition is when a person is fixated on their flaws:

“A person may focus on specific parts of their body like their skin, nose, hair, or weight, and feel these are flawed or unattractive.”

Key features of body dysmorphia:

  • Preoccupation with appearance
  • Excessive mirror checking
  • Avoiding mirrors altogether
  • Comparing oneself to others
  • Seeking reassurance from others about appearance
  • Undergoing unnecessary cosmetic procedures

Humans tend to be excited by the easy way of doing things when we all know that taking the long road leads to fulfilling results. We’ve been taught since primary school that eating healthier results in a healthier lifestyle and a healthy desirable body for all.
