On what should've been a carefree trip to a theme park with friends, Nicole felt so much shame that it spurred the obese young woman to change things for the better.
It took three staff members to help jam her oversized figure into a roller-coaster seat. She was so humiliated that she didn't go on any other rides that day.
Now aged 23 and happily married to husband Jay, she has overhauled her bad habits, especially her diet.
"I used to have a few rounds of white toast with full-fat butter for breakfast. Now it's still toast, but wholemeal bread with cereals as well," she says.
Nicole says she had no confidence as a bigger woman and hated shopping for clothes.
She also had to go to the emergency room twice because her mass affected her breathing, which led to panic attacks.
But now she says her confidence is restored ... and she's not afraid to visit a theme park.
"After what happened at the theme park, I was so proud to be able to go scuba diving. I now feel amazing compared to what I used to be like and I'm so pleased with the achievement," she says.
So what's the moral of the Story?

Don't go to theme parks!

Signs from God can be found everywhere.

doesn't God like fat people? Why doesn't God provide signs to other fat people?

God loves all people but He/She knows it's not good for us to be fat - He/She didn't make us fat!

The signs are everywhere for all to see (ditto smoking, drugs, sloth etc), sort of like mass advertising - it's just that not everyone can be bothered to read I guess....

So God is OK shaming people to make them see the way. So why are American and Australia one of the fattest nation in the world, God not trying hard enough?
