lika's lifestyle shift
I am Lika Ahonsi. I am a wife and mother to two amazing boys (Adrian, 10 and Arnold, 6). I am an accountant and I have a masters degree in Tourism and Marketing from Bournemouth University, UK. I am a serial entrepreneur with professionalism and certifications in the aviation, event space (videography and photography), and fitness and nutrition industries. But you shouldn't listen to me because I have these qualifications, listen to me and read this book because I have lived the struggle. I have been there and I have excelled! I am also aware of the challenges that come with deciding to embark on a lifestyle shift. This book's objective is to help you start your lifestyle shift journey. My weight loss journey started when I was sixteen. I was never slim as a child. I ate everything – sweet, sour and bitter (I use to eat orange peel!). My parents had to take me to the hospital to confirm if I had a taste bud! I was the “fat kid” and my mum loved me like that.

will you marry me?
Your choice of a life partner will define the rest of your life and this is not something to take lightly. I won’t bore you with so much in the introduction. I will simply invite you into the book to examine your considerations and weigh your thoughts. In the end, you will find yourself putting your suitors on the right scale or putting yourself on the scale to see how balanced your considerations are. When I see marriages fail, I feel terribly bad because the trend can be arrested if single people can be told the truth. The truth is not far, many of these marriages did not fail at the marriage phase, marriage was just the imploding ground for a relationship wrongly founded. It is my hope therefore that you will find this book simple and easy to read. I pray also that as you follow the wisdom shared in this book, your testimony will be that, ‘I read it, applied it and my life has turned out so good!’ Enjoy a great read.
