NIGERIANS MENTALITY REGARDING OBESITY- SIGN OF GOOD LIVING

I'm sick and tired of everyone around me asking why I'm trying to lose weight. I'm not fat in the real sense but I have a belly pouch that I'm trying to get rid of. But all my friends have been discouraging me, some even told me not to waste my time since I will get d pouch back after having kids. Please I need likeminded friends for support. This my belly is really embarrassing especially when I tuck in my shirts. Any likeminded Nigerian on this app?
