When Oma joined Eziaha Wellness Co. in August 2024, she never imagined losing almost 15kg was possible. After having her second baby, she struggled with her changing body, her confidence, and her relationship with food.
Today, she is almost 15kg lighter—but the biggest changes go far beyond the scale. Through her journey, Oma has developed greater discipline, found a healthier relationship with food, and discovered a deeper commitment to caring for her body, mind, and overall wellbeing.
Here’s Oma’s story of consistency, growth, powerful mindset shifts, and a joyful transformation from the inside out.
Question
You joined the Coaching Cycle in August 2024, first as a private client and recently as part of the group coaching. Over this period, you have lost close to 15kg. What does this change mean to you personally?
Answer
Mehn! Time flies.
I remember when I first signed on to the program. I honestly didn’t think a 15kg loss was possible. The most I had ever successfully “lost” on previous programs was about 5–6kg, so anything in double digits just didn’t feel realistic to me. But I knew I needed change.
I had just had my second baby a couple of months prior, and I didn’t like the way I looked or felt. I remember taking a walk with my husband one morning and, amidst tears, telling him I didn’t recognize myself anymore. And it was beyond beauty—my body just didn’t seem to “fit” into anything anymore, functional or otherwise.
I was struggling to move properly, had developed a slight spinal tilt, was clearly overweight, and found it difficult to keep up with what should have been normal activity levels. Beyond that, I lacked discipline. I hated that I felt addicted to food—that food had become more than fuel for me. It had become an anchor for so many things. I’m stressed? I eat. I’m happy? I eat. I’m sad? I eat. I was constantly comfort eating.
So I really needed something to change.
However, beyond the physical transformation has been the mental and identity shift. The realization that I’m no longer eating healthy just to lose weight, but because I am a vessel and, to fully harness the content, I have to care for the container too. A huge pillar of my purpose structure now is learning to treasure my body.
Question
You had certain expectations when you first joined. Can you share what those expectations were? Have you achieved them, and how do you feel now compared to then?
Answer
I wanted deep accountability. Not just someone to tell me what to do, but someone who would constantly remind me why.
My first conversation with Eziaha, and I immediately felt, “This is it.” And honestly, even then, my expectations have been more than exceeded.
I think what has kept me on course is the depth of the program—the arsenal that is provided. The daily declarations, devotionals, prayer and fasting, mindful meal logging… all of these come together to mentally and spiritually fortify you, which then translates into the physical.
What I especially love is that the program approaches weight loss and healthy living from an identity standpoint. You hear us being referred to as Queens, Soldiers, Virtuous Women, and constantly encouraged to act in alignment with our spiritual archetype. It’s honestly mind-blowing.
Because at some point, it stops being about “trying to lose weight” and starts becoming about embodying the kind of woman you believe God has called you to be.
Question
There was a time when it was really a struggle keeping up with your meals, tracking your sleep hours, and staying consistent with detox. How did that journey change you physically, emotionally, and mentally, even during that season?
Answer
I think what really changed was my mindset around it all. It became less about obsessing over outcomes and more about connecting with what truly matters. I also stopped chasing perfection and started focusing on simply showing up—day by day, week by week—the best way I could.
I knew I wouldn’t get 8 hours of sleep every single day. I knew I wouldn’t eat clean every day either. But the goal became consistency in effort, not perfection in execution. Just showing up and giving my best.
I started realizing that the big achievements are hidden in the little choices—choosing a salad over a huge pizza, reducing oil or cream during meal prep, saying no to excess. It’s the tiny 1% improvements every day that truly make the difference.
And then there was something Eziaha always says: “Food is food.” That really shifted something in me. There is absolutely no meal that is satisfying enough, yummy enough, or comforting enough to make me lose my ability to say “no,” “not now,” or “I’ve had enough.” Food is food—fuel, nothing more. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy food. It just doesn’t have a hold on me anymore, if that makes sense.
Physically, emotionally, and mentally, I’ve fallen in love with the contentment I now feel. I love how light my body feels, how I barely experience brain fog anymore, how the inflammation and swelling in parts of my body have reduced significantly. I love how much more centered, disciplined, and in control I feel.
Even during the hard seasons, those little consistent choices were changing me from the inside out.
Question
We understand your work can be quite hectic, and of course, being a mom and wife in a different time zone adds to that. What small habits or mindset shifts helped you stay consistent regardless?
Answer
Apart from everything I’ve already talked about, meal prepping has to be top of the list. Just thinking about my meals in advance made such a huge difference. It helped me become more intentional instead of constantly making food decisions in the moment when I was already tired, stressed, or hungry (which feels like 95% of the time lol).
Another big shift was staying accountable, transparent, and introspective about my eating habits through logging—and honestly, this is still something I’m actively working on. But I’ve learned that awareness is powerful. Sometimes just pausing to acknowledge what and why I’m eating changes everything.
I also stopped chasing perfection at home and started asking for more help. That mindset shift alone changed so much for me. Help with meals, so I’m not constantly tasting food while cooking. Help with house chores, so I can create time for walks or runs. Help with my boys and school prep on gym days.
And honestly, shoutout to my amazing husband—he has truly been the wind beneath my wings on this journey. Having support makes such a difference.
I think consistency became easier when I stopped trying to do everything perfectly and started focusing on building systems, support, and sustainable habits around the life I actually live.
Question
Apart from detox and sharing your meals, what other challenging moments did you experience during the program, and how did you overcome them?
Answer
As a wife, mum, daughter, sister, friend, and someone working a pretty demanding 9–5 (plus all the other hats I wear), there have definitely been seasons where burnout showed up. Honestly, this is still something I’m navigating.
What has helped me is learning how to intentionally rest—both physically and spiritually. A lot of times, prayer and simply sailing on the grace of God are what get me through. I’ve also learned the importance of being vocal about my struggles instead of silently carrying everything.
Another major challenge was dealing with scale disappointment (ahn! It’s a real thing 😅). There were moments when it felt like I was putting in so much effort and seeing little or no change. But Eziaha really gave me the weaponry for that season.
She taught us to focus not just on results, but also on celebrating effort. To be deeply honest with ourselves, while still extending grace to ourselves too. To stay consistent, understanding that even when it feels like nothing is changing, eventually a watershed moment will come.
Plus, the alternative (i.e. giving up) simply was not an option.
Question
If you had to draw inspiration from within the group, who inspired you? Also, if someone outside the group inspired you, who was it and how?
Answer
Nzelu Ogochukwu!!!! My girl! What? That girl is inspiration for 200km! Her results (having lost almost 20kg), but also her consistency. Day in, day out—she’ll show up, no complaining. So inspiring
Question
What is one “aha moment” or proud moment you had along the way?
Answer
TBD
Question
If someone is unsure about joining, what would you tell them based on your experience over the past year(s)?
I read somewhere once: “To get through the hardest journey, we need only take one step at a time—but we must keep stepping.”
I’m not saying getting healthier is the hardest thing you’ll ever do, but it is hard (this I know). However, it is absolutely possible to achieve, and there is a better version of you on the other side of it.
Start. Start small. And keep stepping. You’ll honestly be amazed at the results those little consistent steps can produce over time.
And beyond the physical changes, there’s also something deeply beautiful about becoming more disciplined, intentional, and connected to yourself in the process.
Plus, we’re genuinely a fun bunch (especially the Coaches 😄). Even though it’s not all fun and games, it’s still a journey that can be truly enjoyable if you allow it to be.
You really can do it.
Oma’s journey is proof that transformation doesn’t happen through perfection—it happens through small, consistent choices made over time.
From learning to plan her meals and ask for help to overcoming scale disappointments and changing her relationship with food, she has become stronger both inside and out.
Her message to anyone considering starting is simple: “Start. Start small. And keep stepping.”
Because there really is a better version of you on the other side—and sometimes, the journey to finding her begins with simply taking the first step.
