Strength over fear

Feb 06, 2016

June 11th- Hi everyone, well my journey continues, let's see on May 6th I got the job at Cycle Gear, that's the place I used to go into and try on the motorcycle gear, dreaming of one day being able to fit in. Well I work there now and fit in the small sizes lol. Who would have guessed that would ever happen. I am the merchandiser there and love it, I work with a great group of guys, yep guys, eat your heart out ladies. Actually I had a problem with all the attention I was getting, but now I am ok with it, at first it was scary to be noticed, I wanted to hide or run away, in fear that someone would hurt me, then I remembered I take Martial Arts, I can handle myself. lol
I have done a lot in the last two months, I have bought a new Honda dirt bike, can you believe I fit on a little CRF 80 and now that I lost my excess weight, I wanted to see what street riding is all about, I have been on the back of my friends motorcycle when I was heavy and it was not really a lot of fun, I was just too big to be comfortable, so now that I am smaller I decided to give it a try on my own. I went to the Motorcycle safety course out in San Diego CA (MT Palomar) I finished it on Sunday and took my motorcycle
skills test and passed!! I got my motorcycle license Woo Hoo (humming ~~Keep your motor running~~) anyways, it was so much fun, I rode the Honda Rebel 250 and actually had room to move, the people in the class asked why I took the class, I explained to them that I wanted to ride before, but I was too fat to fit on a small enough bike, they were shocked they looked at me like I was crazy when I told them I had the Lap RNY surgery, they said I looked so normal, they didn't believe me, I lifted my shirt and showed them my
stomach they still didn't believe me, turns out my extra skin doesn't show enough, and my scars are so tiny I had to point them
out and say, see look! lol that’s a first!! It felt so awesome to fit in life!! One girl wants information on getting the surgery herself, I told her I feel she looks fine and just to try a low carb high protein food plan for a bit before getting to serious about the surgery, I will keep in touch with her and see how things work out. People this is what is all about, no longer being an outsider looking in, no longer standing on the sidelines of life and saying "I wish I could do that, if I was only skinny" It's time to get out there and get busy, find something you always wanted to do and make your plans to do it, believe me it's worth any fear or anxiety you might have right now. Now Linda wants me to ride her Honda 750 shadow and she wants to get a new sport bike Honda 600 F4I hmm, wonder if we could trade take care everyone, thanks for letting me share.
