Mkayi who has always been public and frank about her weight-loss journey posted an old image of herself where she was overweight and a new image of herself in a bikini with a long heart felt message which reads:
“Once in a while I post before and after pics as you request. It’s taken me ten years to be sort of stable in this new and permanent ME.
BUT I have had to work for it. Everyday I have had to choose my dreams and that comes with work. Wanting to be happy has meant I have had to wake up and WORK on my happiness.
What cripples us at times is the fact that we want to be happy BUT we put others before us. YOU CANNOT give what you do not have. So fill yourself up first before you give to others.
And to my friends who have my number, the ONLY number I have ever had.......I’m a phone call away. YOU know who you are with your ‘Unsta I need your help to get my body back!’ And you know I always say ‘Just call me and let’s get you on an eating plan. I’ll never make you go hungry and I’ll never make you eat tasteless food.’ Some people will psyche you out. CHOOSE YOU and KNOW that you are worth it.“
Mkayi also recently opened up about some of her failures and lessons that she’s learned throughout her life in a video where she was inspiring matriculants who failed their 2020. She encouraged them to not give up on themselves and not think of harming themselves.
The businesswoman posted several videos on her Instagram where she revealed that she too failed a few grades in her life and that she was a slow learner and it took her a while to learn things.
She stated on her videos that she woke up this morning with a dying need to record the video and encouraged her followers to share it…
She mentions how she failed grade 8 and her first year at varsity and how humiliated and shattered she was.
She further stated that she didn’t want to go back to the same school where she failed grade 8, but her father insisted that she goes back and face her fears. He taught her that she must learn to face her problems head on while she was still young, to avoid running from them when she’s older…
