Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire is advising the public to avoid prioritising a banging body over their health.
The light-skinned actress, via her Instagram page, revealed that she almost lost her life because of her strict dieting plans. According to her, she has been on a diet since November and is happy with the results, as she now has a banging body.
However, February came, and she had to fast, sleep less, have less energy, and film back-to-back, which drained her. Peggy said during a meeting that she almost fainted. Luckily, the people around her ran to get her water.
In a message to those watching their weight during fasting, she told them to stay in one place and prioritise their health over a hot body.
“This life no dey do pass yourself
So I’ve been on a diet since November last year.
Your girl lost all the desirable weight. Body was bodying. Discipline was disciplining.
Then February came.
Filming back-to-back. 🎬
Joined fasting.
Minimal sleep.
Lesser Energy
Today, during a meeting, I was demonstrating & explaining.
Serious mode activated. For like 20 minutes, I was explaining with full confidence & bidding.
Suddenly, everywhere just blurrrrrr.
I said, “Okay, maybe my eyes are adjusting.”
Next thing.
I begin see double. DOUBLE OOOO
Omo, I no argue with my destiny.
I quietly and respectfully sat down on the floor.
Because what is pride??
Thank God it was just 3 people there, oh. They now ran to get me water like an emergency pit crew.
See ehn… whether you’re watching weight or fasting, abeg try dey stay one place. Your body no be generator wey you fit overload.
Health first before hot body.
This life no dey do pass yourself.
May God bless our hustle”.
Last month, the movie star had stirred the internet as she threw a bold question, questioning what her fellow women would do if they found out their man was sleeping with a married woman with kids. She noted that she asked him about it, and he denied it, saying they’re just friends, and she completely believed him. Peggy added that the irony of it all is that the man judges and castigates single girls who sleep with married men.
Many pondered whether the actress was indirectly referring to her husband, as there has been news of a marital crisis between the two.
In other news, she expressed her frustration with the lack of family values in today’s society. She said she misses the days when people held onto family values and were mindful of the things they said or did in public. The wife of Frederick Leonard gave a shout-out to imperfect ladies who understand accountability and values, and prayed that they would win on every side.
