Shamed into losing 45 kg

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?

No Bob I have no control over others just over myself.

But why did it change for some and not others?

Being a bit of a drama queen, there Bob.

Do people, fat or thin, go to hell because they ignore the signs from God?

I have no clue about that, being an outright and proud of it, Athiest.

You will have to tell me, if indeed you care if I know or not. I am not hanging by my teeth,

But thatn person was a nutter, so he could have assaulted you because you had ginger hair or were wearing blue shoes, You can't be upset about what mentally ill people think or do.

I was assaulted recently due to being "too fat".

The police had to become involved and the assault was by a total stranger.

Was that a sign from God? If so why did God deliver his message in such a heavy handed and callous way?

Or is it OK if it spurs me on to lose weight?

You may have been assaulted by that man because of his beliefs, (pleased to see you're ok, and sorry such a **bleep**py thing happened, BTW), but that may not have been the "message" or the "lesson" that God was trying to teach/send you. The message may not have been meant fior you, or that might not have been the intended message,

The man attacked you because he was an ignorant git.

How do you know it's not God's will that this happened?

All great - but I'm amazed that I need a "just kidding" smilie when I threaten to put a curse on someone....

Sigh,
