I am still her...but I'm kinda not
Recently, I had been going through some tough times, and fused with emotional battles.
But on Easter Sunday, some things happened that kinda changed my perspective:
I was talking to my aunt's nieghbor, who is also obese ( I say also b/c I'm so used to considering myself fat or obese), and she said to me: "Hey Lisa, my sister had the gastric bypass over the summer and she hasn't lost any wieght, well she lost a little. How did you do that"? I told her to tell her sister to exercise, and that it doesnt have to be alot or for a long time, but just get used to moving.
Then later on that day, I was talking to a few of my cousins (we all a lil thick in the waist), and my sister said some ole smart mouth crazy ish that she always do, and I said, "I'm not thinking about yo fat butt". Well instantly everybody started jumping on me. Saying "well you know you not right, because you wasnt always thin." And it irritated me, One, because hey, I'm no where close to thin, and two, I felt like I have been offically booted from the fat girl association. We all always called each other fat, with no offense, it's always been all good, but now, I feel I have to choose my words carefully..Lord knows it was not my intention to hurt her feelings.
Then later, my daughter's cousin on her dad's side told me that she the lap band 2 years ago...and trust me, she ain't lost no weight. She started asking me what I eat and how the surgery was, yadda, yadda...
The point to this long post is this: That I have realized, through all my struggles, that no matter how much stupid skin I have, that I am still blessed and highly victorious. And sometimes, it takes God to put a few people before you to show you exactly how blessed you are.
To God be the Glory.
I've also decided come out of lurk mode and pay it forward, because honestly, if it had not been for OH and all the wonderful advice I''ve soaked from the ladies of BAF, I propably would've been one of those "how did you do that" ladies too.
So thank you!
It's time to pay it forward....
'morning Lisa. Welcome back OUT of lurk mode. lol
