Years ago, Nigerian writer Roseline Mgbodichinma Anya Okorie tried little green slimming pills at the encouragement of a chemist (pharmacy worker). It turned out they were full of senna, also used as a laxative. She writes for @thexylom about that experience, and how she’s learned to ignore the world’s weight-loss noise. Every waking day, I fight to love my body and not leave it at the mercy of people like that chemist,” she says. “Learning to be comfortable with my extra flesh is the hardest, most courageous thing I have had to do in my adult life.”
