<p>In an interview on The Delay Show, Boateng revealed, "<em>A week after I gave birth in the US, I became depressed. I was saddened and could cry unprovoked. It is called postpartum depression. It lasted for about three weeks</em>."</p>

<p>Contrary to suggestions of weight gain due to excessive eating, Boateng attributed her changed stature to the aftermath of childbirth.</p>

<p>Addressing the issue, she said, "<em>I feel very bad by the act of body-shaming, especially in the context of postpartum weight gain. I am not alone in experiencing changes in my body after childbirth; it is a natural process</em>."</p>

<p>Boateng expressed disappointment in some comments, deeming them unnecessarily rude, while acknowledging that others served as motivation for her weight loss journey. </p>

<p>Despite the challenges, she affirmed her commitment to shedding weight and actively engaging in the process. She mentioned, "<em>I’m very active. It’s been sixteen days, but it has been worth it. I know I have a long way to go</em>."</p>
