I have always thought that it is funny how people are always talking about Barbie and the body image that she is giving the girls of the world. That girl was never ever me... I never wanted her body ... her car... sure I'll take that, the condo, I thought that was cool too... but I never thought I had to have her waistline, boobs or even her hair. On the contrary, if Barbie had friends, my sister and I chose the one we were going to "be" based on which one resembled us more. As I got older, I began to relate to the "Biggies" of the entertainment world. I find people who look like me, inspirational, often times I can relate to them. I admire their carefree personalities and their ability to be true to who they are accepting their "Fatsique". In some ways, I know it is crazy, but I am scared I won't be in the funny & fat club anymore! I mean Fat people are funny right? There is nothing funnier than Melissa McCarthy trying to jump over the counter of a fast food restaurant & who doesn't know "Fat guy in a little coat?" Jolly & Funny! Undoubtedly it is hilarious to watch fat people being fat & funny... but let me tell you what is NOT funny! Not fat people, pretending to be Fat and gross or acting like they think fat people would act, slobbering, sitting on people and eating everything in sight until they blow up. I can barely sit through Shallow Hal without screaming at the screen, I have never even been able to make it through Norbit & although I have been known to quote the Fat fella in Austin Power's, "Get in my Belly," there are some scenes that I just can't handle. Let me give you a tip, when talking to a big girl it is not ok to ask them if they have seen Norbit and go on to describe a particularly offensive scene as if something they did reminded you of the movie. I am scared! I am scared that one chicken wing won't be enough. I am scared I will die when I walk my 1st mile. I'm scared, and for this one I might be crazy, but I am scared that I may never again be compared to Mama June Boo Boo, Fat Amy or Melissa McCarthy, the thought of this makes me kind of sad. In the next few days I plan on tossing this thought around in my brain and coming to terms with the fact that it isn't the fat that makes me personable, but the person I am.

You will ALWAYS be Mama June! If I need to run your toe over with a forklift to make you feel better, I'd be happy to help you out!

This weight loss is only from June 2015 (I had lost another 51 pounds prior to this)
Blog MissionIt has taken me a long time to get to this point, but I feel like God opened the right doors at the right time. My vision for this blog is not only to document and share my journey with those who care, but also to encourage those who may be following in my footsteps. First and foremost though, I want to give all the glory to God & to focus on his plan for me throughout the journey. What you talkin' 'bout?VSG = Vertical Gastric Sleeve Categories
