"Actually, we have no problems -
we have opportunities for which we should give thanks…
An error we refuse to correct has many lives.
It takes courage to face one's own shortcomings,
and wisdom to do something about them."
Once said to me from a client whom often sought out my counsel, "Joie, I just hope that someday, I will find such wisdom as the wisdom you have!" My response to her could be nothing less than a warning! "Please take care for in which you ask!" As I continued to explain to this client and friend, "The only things in which I know, are such things that I personally have experienced myself. I can be compassionate, understanding and wise to the many things that you are now experiencing, simply because I too have suffered these many things. I know the struggles that you are now enduring, because I too have endured them. The only difference is, many of the struggles in which you are now in the midst of, I am past, I have endured, and I have learned. My wisdom came from much suffering, blessings that they be. My hopes are, that perhaps by sharing these gifts given to me, that your own path to such wisdom, may be a much smoother and quicker ride."
Struggles of Obesity:
If you have lived your life struggling with the battles of obesity, then you do not need me to tell you of the misery that accompanies this life.
Upon watching a television program, they transformed a person who had nothing but disgust in their hearts for those whom are living in obesity, into a fat person for a few hours. With padding and the facial transformation using make up, "wala", a fat person was formed. The object, this person had to go out into the streets of society, and experience the treatment received as a fat person. In hopes, that this person would gain a more compassionate heart once she experiences the ill treatment those suffering with obesity encounter from every day from society.
Certainly it is hoped, that this person grew in a greater wisdom of understanding, perhaps a bit more compassion for those who are suffering the great ridicule received from people like herself. However, one day as a fat person, will never tell the complete story of what it is like to live this day, every day, for what seems like, eternity.
Compassionate people come in all sizes and shapes. One does not need to have lived a life in obesity to be a compassionate person. Such a person will not be judgmental, they will educate, investigate, ask questions, take the time to listen and learn. And then there are those who choose to live in ignorance, as it is easier to be quick to ridicule, judge and persecute.
It is assumed by many, a person is fat simply because they are lazy and choose to eat too much, being fat is a choice. Unfortunately, there are many ignorant people in our world! I invite you to explore the links provided on the right to discover the truth of obesity and it's causes. Yes, there are those who do eat too much, but it is never simply done. Even those that have no medical conditions which may be a defining cause, there are other issues creating the eating disorders. No one simply wakes up and decides to become a fat person! But there are choices that can be made, and discoveries to be found!
My Weight Loss Surgery: (My Before)
Certainly I have my many stories to share, and how living my life in obesity altered my course of life and it's direction. To experience a sample of my story, I encourage you to visit my obesityhelp.com profile and scroll down to read my story, my testimonial.
(My After)
After my weight loss surgery in 2003, I lost over 100 pounds! But if you have read my story in obesityhelp.com, you will understand that the transformation that actually took place in my life, occurred prior to actually having surgery.
Having been given a great passion to educate myself on the importance of health and nutrition, and the passion to try and help others who are too living in obesity, I began a new course of direction. Enrolling myself into the Professional Christian Coaching and Counseling Academy, I obtained my Christian Life Coaching Certification.
(My Now)
As a Certified Christian Life Coach, I do currently own and moderate a "Free" on-line weight loss coaching and support group called "The Power House". Continuing to help educate, inspire, coach and counsel those who need a mentor, a friend, a cheerleader. Assisting those who are seeking a way for successful weight loss, discovery of the right tools and methods for their own personal journey. Expanding upon and building upon my03world opportunities as a tool for myself and others to discover and fulfill our passions.
(My Future)
Taking one day at a time fearing not what it beholds, as I know there is nothing impossible put before me. Embracing each and every day with confidence, that it is a new day to begin new opportunities and soar!
