Winner of the TV reality show, ‘Di Asa’, Precious Mensah also known as PM, has disclosed hoe she nearly lost her life after taking slimming pills, meant to help her shed some weight.
Speaking in an interview, the plus-sized Queen says she developed a complication with her heart rate anytime she took the slimming pills.
“Unfortunately, anytime I take this drug, I feel pains in my heart. If I take it, I don’t feel okay but if I don’t take it, I feel okay… I took the drug and threw it into the bin,” she said.
PM went on to explain that, it really did not take too long for her to realize the effect the pills were having on her.
According to her, the complications that came with taking the pills led her to abort the dreams of obtaining that ‘perfect body shape.’
She noted that the daily insults and public ridicule no more get to her, as she will not be pressurised to lose weight just to please anyone.
PM said: “I accepted (drug) because my friends always left me behind when going to ‘chill’, at that time I was so eager to lose weight so when he brought up the opinion I said yes.”
Precious Mensah (PM) believes that being plus size is ‘genetic’ adding that it runs in her family, as nearly all of her siblings are plus-sized just as she is.
“They’ve got to know that it’s from their side, it’s part of them and it’s in their blood … so they have to embrace nature,” she concluded.
