 Thank you, LORD, for another day.

Thank you for the sun and the deep blue sky.
Thank you for the cool Autumn air.
Thank you for eggs and bacon,
and toast with cinnamon.

Help me to remember
that all good things come from you,
And help me always to be thankful.

Dear Lord,
Help me to be good today.
Forgive me for the times I did what I wanted to do,
instead of what you wanted me to do.

Today is a new day, 
and I can start brand new
because you have forgiven me.

Help me to be a blessing today.
Use me to bring happiness to those you love.


Dear Lord, your love
is better than anything else in the world.
And you love me.
Help me always to remember that.


Thank you, LORD!

Today I want to give thanks to God for letting me see another year...happy and healthy...
Today is my birthday and God has moved mountains, worked miracles and unconditionally blessed me, my family and my friends this past year.
Since I was born, I feel like God has "kept" me and "covered" me.
So, for this I am grateful.

I ask that you join me in thanking God for this blessing and that you continue to pray that I may grow closer to Him/Her each passing day.

Thanks and be blessed....

My Story

Welcome All!!!  I would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself to each/every1; My name is Veronica "Tink" Dukes, I am a 32y/o mother 4 wonderful kids (3gurls Jaz 16, CeCe 8, JayJay 6, and Cj 2 (only son)), and a Life Partner to my Hubby (Ced); I am currently in the process of obtaining all of the necessary Insurance Requirements (Peach State Ins..Medicaid); I am currently weighting in at approx. 373lbs (as of 17/Feb/2011); But , Before my journey began I was weighting at 476lbs in March of 2011; I am standing at 5ft 3in. and has health complications that consist of HBP (High Blood Pressure), SA (Sleep Apnea (Significant)), JP (Joint Pains), Migraines, and other minor health problems; Well, here's just a lil information to get u caught up a bit..If you feel that you would like to know more about me plz by all means feel free to send me a message, leave a post/comment, or just req to be a friend (i loving meeting new/interesting individuals)!!

Now here is How I got to where I am today:

I have been a yoyo'er every since I was 23y/o..right after I had my second child ( Mz Ceirra) I began to pick up some weight from the pregnancy and the counter reaction of the Depo shot from previous yrs after having my first child (Mz Jazmin). Wen I was 15 I had my first child and started taking the Depo-Vera 3 Month Birth Control Shot (why did i do it..still asking myself right now today). During the 2yrs I was taking the shot not once did I encounter any normal female functions (use ur imagination) but I was continuously gaining weight 80lbs (unbeknown-st of the reason at this time). but when my first child became 2y/o I came across a Dietary Supplement called Xenadrine RFA- 1 (the best dietary supplement ever) while using this supplement I lost 100lbs in 6months. Which brought me down to a 135lbs bout I didn't really like it so I began to gain weight until i reached a level of my Health (a healthy 172lbs..oh how I love this weight). But, to make a long story short my weight stem.'d from 172lbs (January 2003) to a high of 476lbs (March 2010) in between this time I had 2 more kids a gurl (January 2005 (Mz Ja'Dlyn)) and boy (August 2008(Mr CJ) so you can imagine what happen to my weight to get me to my highest weight. On March of 2010, I attended a Weight Loss Seminar held @ Atlanta Medical Center given by Titus Duncan (Peachtree Bariatrics) very informative information. Again, If you would like to learn more bout me plz feel free to leave me a message, email, or post a comment.
