Enjoying Six Flags without obese worries!!



What are obese worries you ask? terrible sweating, horrible pain in your legs, knees and feet from the walking, shortness of breathe, hungry all the time, feeling depessed and overwhelmed at the sheer length of the park, having to hold everyone up because you have to rest every so many yards.... But that wasn't a worry for me today!

What a fun day we had today at Six Flags. This is spring break for my son and I decided to take him to his favorite place Six Flags. It was such a reminder at how far I have come. First we had to park close to 2 miles from the entrance. The old me would have wanted to merely give up and not even walk to the front. The new me passed by the trolley that was their to pick us up an I walked with pride praising God the entire time that I had the ability to walk without pain. Arriving at the entrance I went through the turn style without getting stuck (which has happen to me in the past).

Once arriving in the park the first thing my son wanted to do was go on the Goliath roller coaster which was at the top of a huge hill. The entire day we walked and walked and walked. It was 80 degrees and we were sweating. But all I could think about was that my skin was bleeding from rubbing of the skin between my legs, and under my breast. At one point I actually stretched my arms out besides me and really felt the slight breeze of the wind. On one of the rides, I actually sat on a bench and waited for my son to ride a ride. While everyone else sat under shade, I purposely sat on a bench in the sun. I love to feel the sun, after so many years of running from it because of the weight.

We even left the park and went back to the car to get something to eat and rest a minute before going back to the park. It seems so much easier to do everything in the park but the fact that I could excited me.

I decided to go on a ride called the Ninja. I haven't been on a roller coaster in over a decade. It was fun and I felt like I was traveling back in time. I also remembered not being able to ride on a roller coaster.

As we left, we were tired and hot but decided to walk back to the car!! We passed up the trolley and just walked and enjoyed the fun of the day.

The day was fun and a blessing to spend time with my son. I am so happy I am able to be that fun mom who can do things with him an not just watch from the side lines.
Thank you God for allowing me to redeem time!!!!

Riverdale speaking engagement



What a wonderful speaking engagement I had today. The women who attended made the most important step to improving their health, they came to the event. Whether they realize the huge step they made or not, the first crucial step to recreating your life is to "simply begin".

I spoke about the issues I went through, the hurt, pain and embarrassment of my past obesity. I spoke about the broken tubs I would cause because of the sheer mass of my weight, how I couldn't wear a seat belt, I had sleep apnea and so forth. The women felt comfortable and were able to ask questions, talk about their issues and what their struggles were.

I gave them helpful hints on improving first their mindset and how to then move onto other areas of their life. It is such a joy to help others see themselves in a more enlighten state. I thank God for the opportunity to share my story and to give back to my community. I will always take the time to reach back with free informational sessions so that those who need assistance are able to receive it. I often think back to when I was 450 pounds, I wanted to have someone to speak to me one on one about their experience and how they were able to do it. I didn't have the funds to reach out to those who were outspoken about their weight lost, so I always promised myself I would help those who needed me yet weren't able to afford my services.

It's important to give back the gift that God gave me, therefore,
lets TOUCH the world together!!!

Movie Days with Malcolm!!!


The last two Fridays have been so much fun with Malcolm. I surprised him and picked him up early from school so that we could go to the movies together. I have been so busy in the last two weeks but Malcolm has done so well in school so I wanted to reward him.

He has fell in love with reading and he loves the Wimpy Kid series, and How to train a dragon is a movie we agreed we would go see.

It felt wonderful to love assignments and pressure behind and spend time with my favorite person....my sweetie pie Malcolm. I love you honey!!!

Question of the day

We will begin our question for the day. This is for all who log in and want to be apart.I would like you to answer honestly and express how you truly feel. The questions' I will pose are to help you deal with all the emotions that are keeping your motivation low, self esteem weak and have lead to weight gain. This blog is to encourage each other and create new avenues for your life.

QUESTION
You are in a realtionship and your partner always talks about your weight in a negative way. How do you handle this? Do you loose weight to make the person you love happy or do you stay the way you are?

Thank you for all of your calls and emails!!


There are no words to express the happiness I have concerning all the comments emailed to me and calls made to my office concerning the MSN article. There were so many people that were helped and blessed by what they read. It was so painful explaining what happened to me during the worst days of my life.

But because I am willing to expose the very issues that caused me to be buried in my own body, others will have the opportunity to live and prosper!!!

If your reading this and you feel as though there is no hope, continue believing and with determination your goals will be achieved.

YOU CAN DO IT because we will TOUCH the world together!!!
