Who am I? I am Tabatha Presley, a 41 year old that lived trapped for years in a body that wasn't mine. Ok so it was my body, but all the fat on my body was not who God wanted me to be.
It was May 2010 and we had done a family photo shoot. Of course for whatever reason I said hey let's all wear white. Well let me tell you something, that white shirt revealed all my hidden fat secrets. I now know why black was my favorite color, because it hid all the fat. Well after looking at all those pictures I actually was disgusted with the way I looked. My face had never looked fatter until that day and my stomach looked like an inner tube, muffin top, love handle (whatever you want to call it) out of control. I just looked blowed up all over.
However, that wasn't what made me say "enough is enough." I had visited a friend later on that evening and being silly he snapped a picture of me from behind. Being honest and having very little tact, he said "girl what are those wings you have on your back?" I was like what are you talking about....well when I saw that picture I was fit to be tied. They (the fat that hangs over your bra) looked like two wings on both sides. That picture and that day was the first step toward my renewed spirit.
Question: What is it going to take to make you take that first step?

Your journey is inspiring me to get to the next level. After foot surgery and wearing tennis shoes for 2 months, I can now wear shoes. Back to your journey; seeing you everyday from day one until now, the photos, the clothes, the updates on the workout, all while working and being a mom, are inspirational.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to my journey to the next level. I do not know what it will look like, but I know that it will be of God, so I am prayerfully waiting.
That was the first day of the rest of your life. I have one question for you; are you goning to sink or swim? I'll be watching.....
