1-year-old-picture-sm.jpgI came into this world in May of 1961. I was a happy bouncing baby girl, a bundle of joy as it were to my parents. Before I knew it I was overfed. I’m not sure if that happened by the time I was 4 months or 4 years old. This is when my “FatGirl” life began.

I was always the “chubby” little girl who was always teased. My parents were both overweight and so was my grandmother.

My parents gave up being married when I was six years old. This is where my life as a latch key kid began. I was too young to be left alone. Mom had to work so I started being raised by my babysitters. I know that what I’m about to tell you may not come as a surprise to many of you. I was, molested at an early age by one of those babysitters’ sons. This impacted my life for many years to come. I started down the road of low self-esteem, not feeling worthy and eventually self-hatred. As the years went speeding by I started packing on the weight. I remember by the time I was 12 or 13 years old (7th grade) I weighed 225 pounds. By the time I graduated from high school I was between 300 – 350 pounds. When I was in my thirties, I remember I weighed 424 pounds and went on a liquid diet and lost 131 pounds in 6 months. That was GREAT as long as it lasted. THEN, I put it all back on and more. I zoomed up all the way to my TOP weight of 570 pounds.

There’s so much more of the story to fill in the blanks that really makes the story full.

The important part is that NOW I am on the way to the other end of the scale and ALL to the Glory of God. Without Him NONE of this would be possible for me. It is my choice to take this journey WITHOUT doing the Gastric by-pass surgery. I want to encourage as many people as I can that we CAN get healthy WITHOUT this seemingly “quick-fix” method.

I started my weight loss journey at 570 pounds. I have lost 120 pounds, 72.25″ and lots of body fat since I have begun my journey.

I am going all the way to health and I want to fill the ‘Weight Loss Train’ with as many people as I can.

Please come and join me and let’s all get healthy and fit together.
