The Old Lady Never Recovered! (LighterSide Preview #1)
September 28, 2007
I look forward to…
Not having to always search for two seats together when riding a bus!
As I have mentioned, I am in the process of getting all the cartoons together for my book. My caricaturist Eric Jones is soooo talented. I tell him exactly what I want in the cartoons and he churns them out pretty much exactly as I had envisioned…often with 2 or three amendments of course…lol! I never imagined I would hear myself telling anyone…’Make me FATTER! I look too slim’ Usually when someone is drawing you or taking photo’s we are after the most flattering angles/lighting instead of making us look MORE like beached whales.
Its hard for him, I know, cause he is working off pictures of me NOW. When I am really after representations of what I was at 354lbs when it was ALL happening BABY!
I thought I’d share this one cause its one of my favorites. And yes, FYI the cartoons are based on real life experiences…fortunately, I never saw the old lady on that bus route ever again…I wonder why?

Feeling Sexy
September 26, 2007
(Click Image to Play)
Awhile ago I promised to talk about and show you my ’sexy’ outfit…you know the kind that makes you want to strut your stuff and wiggle your behind whenever you are wearing it. Well, here it is I had ALOT of fun with my camera last night…was actually up to 3am putting this FlabVlog together so my voice is a bit crackly and hoarse but aside from this it was alot of fun!
Remember guys…the sexy outfit is not about what it is, what style, what colour, what brand, or how tight, the sexy outfit is about ‘how it makes you feel! Throw away those sweatpants and sloppy joes that make you feel like you just want to become a couch potato and eat potato crisps…Its time to change the way we FEEL by changing the way we DRESS!

Major Website Move
September 24, 2007
I have been having serious talks to my therapist and close friends about removing the ‘STRESS’ from my life…so I am in the process of ‘removing the fluff’ or so to speak and knuckling down on a few things that I am passionate about.
One, as I have already mentioned is getting my personal website more user friendly,
Two is finishing and publishing my book which my newly revamped blogsite will promote and hopefully sell!!! (wink, wink, nudge, nudge),
Three is putting my scary business women hat on and making some heads roll in relation to my
And whilst I am doing all the above I will also be chipping away at finishing the flabtv concept which, incidentally, has actually had a total overhaul and revamp…even the name and branding has changed but more on that later! and my other passion a webforum for sufferers of hypothyroidism which is in the works also.
You are probably all thinking…gosh and this is your way of REMOVING the stress…well put it this way I had about 5 more things that I was trying to work on at the same time…so I have had to discipline myself (cause i tend to take on more than I can chew) and set these on the back burner until I have completed these first 5.
I am getting my ‘me space’ organised…an area/desk/office for working…so no more laptop on my knee watching TV hehe! This alone is proving motivating just setting aside an area to work that doesn’t have toys, clothes and half eaten food covering it!
See I told you I would plan out my life in the next couple of days. So ask me again…Where do I see myself in 12 months.
Well, that’s EASY:
I am a published author and the Finding Flabuless website will be receiving over 100,000 unique visits a month,
SizeXchange is up and running and rocking — fast catching up to ebay in the affordable transient clothing market
I will be travelling and speaking to women all over the world encouraging and motivating them in their weight loss journey.
I will be further encouraging and connecting dieters through my flabtv/???? (ssshh….to be revealed) and hypothyroid websites.
What do you reckon? Will you be here in a year to see how far I got? What about you…where will you be in a year?

Conversations with a friend
September 24, 2007
I was talking to my friend today about the book I am writing ‘The Lighter Side of Large’ ( based on my cartoon series) and how it was turned down early last year ago by a couple of publishers because it was seemingly too Politically Incorrect and could be used to laugh at ‘fat’ people instead of encourage and inspire as is my intention. She had some interesting and poignant thoughts which I wanted to share with you all:
…over the last six months to a year the market - as it always does - has trended to more “fat friendly” status. People, while they are gearing down for healthier living and even obese to morbidly obese people are buckling down to “get healthy” - are not so skittish or embarrassed to talk about the “elephant in the room” - meaning, themselves and their extra poundage.
From a sexy group of four plus-sized gals getting rave reviews on “America’s Got Talent” to Oprah FINALLY getting comfortable in her own skin to formerly skinny - to fat - now to in shape act ress Kirstie Alley losing weight in the public eye for Jenny Craig - more and more “average” to more than just a little bit fleshy women are starting to realize that the core of who they are - their true spirit - is more important than meeting their ideal body face to face.
Weight is bad and being overweight can literally kill you. Because of that and the increased risk to shortening your life to do great things - it is important for each of us to honor who we are on the inside by honoring who we are on the outside. Inside we are all unique individuals given a special place by God on this earth, a select mission only we can complete and every skill, talent and ability necessary to do the job well. Outside, we often betray the goodness of our spirit with the lies we have been told and that we have let ourselves believe and reinforce through our own behaviours. Fat is nothing more than a fib or a lie we are wearing.
In our internal conversations we need to move from saying to ourselves “I wish I were” or “one day” to a powerful “today I am” message about the awesomeness of who you are - at any age or size - to the people you love and who love you. That is turning the formerly “embarassing” into the empowering.
To lose the weight one has to be content where they are - and let go of the past…from that place of contentment they have to have the courage and confidence to move forward to get their outside matching their inside…and perhaps even their inside matchin g who God ORIGINALLY designed for them to be.
HERE HERE! Couldn’t have said it better myself! But what do you all think? Do you Agree?
