Ex-Big Brother Naija (BBN) star, Uriel Oputa has revealed what caused her weight gain a few years ago.

The reality star revealed that she was depressed and found solace in food as a result.

“I was an emotional Eater I struggled with Depression (still dealing with it) and found Comfort in food. I didn’t understand what full was, I knew I felt uncomfortable but I didn’t care. When people ask me to help them the first thing I ask is :Are you Mentally Ready ?? It’s a tough battle, but you shall overcome,” she captioned her before and after photos she posted on social media.

Uriel had previously stated the primary reason for her recent weight loss.

She revealed this on her Instagram page, stating that due to her family’s medical history, she needed to embark on a weight loss journey and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

“When you have a family history of high blood pressure, stroke even cancer you make changes. I went for a full health check. I had ovarian cyst for years (Non cancerous} we checked yesterday and it’s gone. There is no perfect weight, I was happy being a size 14/15 but my body needed to be fed differently so I did and I lost weight. You can be healthy in any size but my healthy size ended up being smaller.Be attentive to your body even if you don’t follow my recipes. I don’t want my children to go through what my brothers and sisters passed through with my mother.”
