****** HEY WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!! *******
HOPE THIS POST FINDS YOU ALL IN THE BEST OF HEALTH AND SPIRITS....I TELL U, WHATEVER YOU ASK IN GOD'S NAME, HE FINDS A WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN....AS A SURVIVOR OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (11 YEARS) I PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD ALLOW ME 2 TO TURN MY PAIN INTO POWER AND HE'S DOING JUST THAT! I'LL BE DOING AN EDUCATIONAL VIDEO PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE A.S.P.C.A. AND CONNECT TO BRING AWARENESS TO ANIMAL ABUSE AND THE CONNECTION TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. MY EX-HUSBAND KILLED MY PET DOG AND DURING THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WHO KILLS A PET IS ALSO CAPABLE OF MURDERING THE FAMILY. IT IS OUR GOAL TO GET SERVICE PROVIDERS (SOCIAL WORKERS, THE POLICE DEPT., ACS, ETC) TO BE AWARE OF THE CONDITION OF THE FAMILY PET WHEN ENCOUNTERING FAMILIES IN CRISIS. IF THE FAMILY PET IS BEING ABUSED OR NEGLECTED, 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 A WOMEN OR CHILD IS BEING ABUSED. I WAS ALSO HIRED FOR A 7 MONTH APPRENTICESHIP AT THE ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN SURVIVORS I'VE BEEN APART OF FOR 6 YEARS....I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. SEE HOW GOOD GOD IS? SO I'M LIVING MY DREAM! IT'S CLOSE TO 2 YEARS SINCE I'VE HAD GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY AND I'M STILL "DANCIN' MY JOURNEY"....EVERYDAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE HEALTHY & HAPPY.
I CAN BASICALLY EAT MORE FOOD CHOICES, BUT I CHOSE TO STICK TO THE BASICS....I DON'T EAT SUGAR AND IF I DO HAVE A FRIED FOOD, I MAKE SURE TO BALANCE IT OUT BY HAVING A PROTEIN SHAKE & BAR TO SUBSTITUTE A MEAL AND I PUMP UP MY EXERCISE ROUTINE. I ALSO STARTED BACK DANCING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND THAT'S USUALLY FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT! I HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY THAT I PUT THE "YOUNG BUCKS" TO SHAME....LOL THURSDAY IS MY APPOINTMENT WITH THE PLASTIC SURGEON SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT BECAUSE I WANT A TUMMY TUCK AND BREAST IMPLANTS.....SO I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.....IT FEELS LIKE I LOST MORE WEIGHT IN MY ARMS AND THIGHS.... TAKE CARE AND GIVE SOMEONE A HUG TODAY! PEACE, TANYA

****** HEY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!! ******
THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE, I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT....IT'S BEEN A MINUTE AND A DAY SINCE MY LAST CONFESSION....lol...I CAN'T BELIEVE THE SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY OVER ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER IS STILL NICE HERE IN NEW YORK...THE KIDS ALL STARTED SCHOOL (I HAVE 2 IN COLLEGE AND 4 IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL) SO THERE'S NEVER A DULL MOMENT.
MY PROGRESS:
I'M NOW FLUCTUATING BETWEEN 135-140LBS. I'M A SIZE 4 IN DRESSES AND A SIZE 7-9 IN PANTS....MY UPPER BODY IS VERY TONED SINCE I STARTED WORKING OUT WITH WEIGHTS AND I ADDED A STEP TO MY WORK OUT IN ORDER TO TONE MY THIGHS....I'M SCHEDULED FOR A TUMMY TUCK BREAST AUGMENTATION CONSULTATION ON THURS. SEPT. 13TH SO PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.....I "NEED" BREAST IMPLANTS!!! MY BOOBS ARE SO FLAT THAT I CAN SEE MY HEART BEATING, NOW YOU KNOW I NEED HELP....I AM A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE BUT I'M SURE THEY HAVE ALTERNATIVES TO SILLICONE SO I'LL BE CHECKING IT OUT. MY TUMMY ISN'T REALLY FAT BUT I DO HAVE SOME LOSE SKIN AND I WANT IT TO BE TOTALLY FLAT.
IT'LL BE 2 YEARS SINCE I'VE HAD THIS WONDERFUL SURGERY ON JAN. 18TH....GOD IS GOOD! WELL, MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO USE THE COMPUTER TO I'LL HOLLA BACK ANOTHER TIME. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND JUST REMEMBER, "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THE KING"....PEACE, TANYA

TANYA POSIN' ON A HOTT SATURDAY NIGHT!! CHECK THE LEGS!!!! "GO GO GIT IT GURL, GO HEAD' GIT U SUM!"......7/07
***** PEACE & BLESSINGS 2 U ALL! *****
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR HAVING THE EXPERIENCE TO LIVE LIFE IN A "NEW" & IMPROVED BODY.....IT FEELS GOOD TO WALK DOWN THE STREET AND HEADS TURN AS PEOPLE SMILE AND WONDER, "WHO'S DAT GURL"....LOL.....I'M JUST SO THANKFUL! GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD 2 ME & MY FAMILY.....THIS SUMMER IS JUST BREEZIN' BY...I'M FINALLY GETTING USED TO LIVING LIFE AS A "SLIM & TRIM" PERSON....WHEN PEOPLE CALL ME PETITE, SKINNY, STREAM-LINED I JUST SMILE WITH AMAZEMENT.....NEVER DID I IMAGINE THAT I COULD CLAIM THOSE TITLES....BUT I DON'T WANT TO LIMIT MYSELF....I'M MORE THAN JUST A PHYSICAL BEING.....MY ENTIRE LIFE NEEDS TO BE BALANCED MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY, PHYSICALLY & SOCIALLY....
I INTERVIEWED FOR AN ORGANIZER TRAINING & APPRENTICE PROGRAM WHICH WILL EQUIP ME WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS I NEED TO COMPLETE THE WORK I DO AS A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCATE SO PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. I'M STILL WEARIN' A SIZE 6 AS I KICK UP MY EXERCISE REGIME.....I'M NOW WORKING OUT AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES PER DAY, WHETHER THAT INCLUDES WALKING, RUNNING IN PLACE, CRUNCHES AND LIFTING 5-10 LB. WEIGHTS....I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A STICK FIGURE BUT I LIKE THE SIZE THAT I'M AT....ONCE THE SUMMER IS OVER I MAY FOCUS ON LOSING 5-10 MORE POUNDS BUT FOR NOW, I'M HAPPY AT THIS SIZE.
I HAD MY BARIATRIC CHECK UP 2 DAYS AGO AND MY IRON WAS A LIL LOW SO MY DOC ADDED VITAMIN C TO MY VITAMIN PLAN.....THEY TOOK MY BLOOD AND NOW I HAVE A BIG PURPLE BRUISE ON MY ARM....I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED....MAYBE IT'S DUE TO THE LOSS OF FAT BECAUSE I TELL YA, YOU CAN SEE MY VEINS!
"YOU MAKE MY HEART BEAT".....
OK PEOPLE, WHEN I UNDRESS & LOOK IN THE MIRROR, I CAN SEE MY HEART BEATING THROUGH MY CHEST!!! YEP! I HAVE NO FAT ON MY UPPER BODY AND I CAN EVEN SEE MY RIBS! BUT I'M NOT FREAKING OUT....MY LOWER BODY IS STILL "MEATY"....I'M SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT GETTING IMPLANTS....I'M NOT CONSIDERING SILICONE SO IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A SAFER BREAST INHANCEMENT ALTERNATIVE, PLEASE SEND ME A NOTE AND LET ME KNOW....MY CONSULTATION IS IN SEPTEMBER SO I HAVE TIME TO DO SOME RESEARCH.....I HEARD THAT THERE ARE "GUMMY BEAR" TYPE BREAST IMPLANTS THAT LOOK & FEEL REAL.....I ALSO HEARD THAT BREAST IMPLANTS CAN MAKE A PERSON'S BREASTS FEEL HARD....I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME......THIS JOURNEY IS ON-GOING! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY! JUST PUT HIM FIRST AND ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! PEACE, I'M OUT, LOVE TANYA.

IT'S A JOY FOR ME TO WORK ON THIS NEW BODY AND CONTINUE TO PLAN MY MEALS AND BALANCE THINGS OUT....I SPEAK POSITIVELY AND NOT GIVE WAY TO DOUBT, DISCOURAGEMENT OR DISAPPOINTMENT.....I NEVER USE THE WORD "DIET" BECAUSE DIETING IS A TEMPORARY THING....I'M LIVIN' LIFE IN A NEW FRAME OF MIND SO THIS IS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE....
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO MAY BE READING THIS AND IS CONTEMPLATING WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY.....PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH, FIND A CERTIFIED MEDICAL BOARD APPROVED PROGRAM, CHECK THEIR BARIATRIC RATE OF SUCCESS, SPEAK TO CLIENTS AND PRAY! OBESITY IS A DISEASE THAT CAN BE CURED, CONTROLLED AND CUT OUT OF YOUR LIFE....I KNOW, I WAS THAT PERSON....BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I MADE ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE AND THERE'S NO TURNING BACK! I WISH YOU ALL THE SUCCESS ON YOUR JOURNEY....DON'T GIVE UP, GOD DIDN'T GIVE UP ON YOU.
FORGIVE YOURSELF, FORGIVE OTHERS, LOVE YOURSELF & LOVE OTHERS! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THRU' JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD. PEACE, TANYA

**********HEY FAMILY**************
IT'S BEEN A MINUTE & A DIZZ-AY SINCE MY LAST CONFESSION....LOL....HOW ARE YA??? I PRAY THIS ENTRY FINDS YOU ALL IN THE BEST OF HEALTH. LAST TIME WE SPOKE, I WAS ON MY WAY TO RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL TO CHECK OUT JILL SCOTT, CHAKA KHAN AND ROBIN THICKE FOR A PRE-FATHER'S DAY SHOW....LEON & I DEFINITELY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME!!! CHAKA KHAN TORE THE HOUSE DOWN, OH YEAH, MO'NIQUE WAS THE MC AND SHE WAS HILARIOUS! WE ALWAYS ENJOY OURSELVES WHEN WE GO OUT. I THANK GOD THAT I HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL & SUPPORTIVE FIANCE'.....WE ARE PLANNING TO GET MARRIED JULY 2008 SO PLEASE PRAY FOR US.
THE SUMMER IS HERE AND EVERYONE ON MY END IS DOIN' JUST FINE....I'M GETTING READY TO START AN ORGANIZING TRAINING & APPRENTICE PROGRAM. I CURRENTLY DO ADVOCACY WORK AROUND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.....I'VE BEEN A SURVIVOR FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, I WAS IN A PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE MARRIAGE FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS.....GOD DELIVERED ME OUT OF THAT SITUATION, I GOT DIVORCED AND MY EX-HUSBAND GOT 2 1/2 YEARS JAIL TIME FOR THE ABUSE HE INFLICTED ON ME & ANOTHER WOMAN. I ASKED GOD TO HELP ME TURN MY PAIN INTO POWER AND I'M DOING JUST THAT THROUGH THE VOICES OF WOMEN ORGANIZING PROJECT ALSO KNOWN AS V.O.W. www.vowbwrc.org <----PLEASE GO TO THIS WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION..
MY WEIGHT IS STILL HOLDING BETWEEN 135 - 140 LBS.....AND I AIN'T MAD. MY BODY IS BECOMING VERY MUSCULAR DUE TO THE VIGOROUS EXERCISE REGIMEN I KEEP.....I RUN IN PLACE AND LIFT 5-10 LB. WEIGHTS SO MY ARMS HAVE "CUTS", MY LEGS & CALVES ARE FULL....SO I DON'T LOOK LIKE I'M ON CRACK....LOL ....FOR A MINUTE MY FACE & UPPER BODY WAS LOOKIN' KINDA THIN DUE TO THE EXCESS LOSS OF FAT. MY NEXT GOAL IS TO HAVE A TUMMY TUCK ALTHOUGH MY STOMACH IS REALLY FLAT BUT I NOTICE I GET A SMALL BULGE WHEN I EAT OR IF I GAIN A FEW POUNDS. I HAVE A SEPT. 13TH APPOINTMENT WITH THE PLASTIC SURGEON TO EXPLORE MY OPTIONS SO PLEASE KEEP ME IN PRAYER.
UPDATE ON MY COUSIN:
I MENTIONED MY COUSIN MAURICE WHO IS 320 LBS. WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL DUE TO CHEST PAINS.....HE WAS RELEASED AND ASKED TO JOIN A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM THROUGH THE HOSPITAL....HE ATTENDED THE PROGRAM BUT DIDN'T WANT TO BUY THE PRE-PACKAGED FOOD THEY OFFERED SO HE'S BACK TO HIS OLD TRICKS....HE HASN'T LOST ANY WEIGHT AND HE'S STILL IN DENIAL...I TRY TO ENCOURAGE HIM WHENEVER I GET THE CHANCE. HE'S AGAINST WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY SO I DON'T TRY TO FORCE THE ISSUE. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM THAT HE'LL BE HONEST WITH HIS CONDITION AND TRULY GET HELP. I'VE BEEN THERE AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS READY TO STOP LYING TO MYSELF THAT I GOT HELP.
THE WORK IS NOT DONE:
MOST PEOPLE SAY THAT I AM A SUCCESS STORY BUT I KNOW THE WORK IS NOT DONE! THIS IS A LIFE STYLE CHANGE AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LIFETIME TO LEARN NEW WAYS OF EATING RIGHT AND BEING HAPPY WITH MY FOOD CHOICES....SOMETIMES I GET BORED AND WANT TO CHOW DOWN ON A PIECE OF FRIED CHICKEN OR FRIED FISH SO I TRY TO BE CAREFUL WHEN I'M FEELING WEAK.....I KEEP MY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS SO I'LL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, ON THE INSIDE OF MY BODY......BLOOD WORK IS SO IMPORTANT.....ALSO, I NEVER MISS MY VITAMINS & MINERALS.....ESPECIALLY MY WATER INTAKE!!!
I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A BLESSED SUMMER AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AT THE POINT IN YOUR JOURNEY THAT YOU'RE AT......JUST REMEMBER, TODAY IS A NEW DAY AND A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!! DON'T LET DOUBT, FEAR, DEPRESSION, HATERS OR ANY OTHER OBSTACLE STAND IN YOUR WAY OF REACHING YOUR GOAL, WHATEVER THAT GOAL IS!!!! YOU ARE WORTH THE EFFORT!!! JESUS LOVES U & SO DO I!!! PEACE, I'M OUT! LOVE TANYA
