Hello everyone, I have wrote in a min so I decide I would write and give you all a quick update. I just came back from Cancun, Mexico. I had a blast mainly because I was able to do more things this time around. I was able to ride in the airplane like a reg. person. I know a lot of you know what I'm talking about. :-) I rode the Jet Ski's for the first time in my life. I felt so good to be able to enjoy myself and not have to sit back and watch my homies have fun without me. My weight is still coming down it's just going really slow. At times I get upset becasue I'm ready to reach my goal but I look at other people who have had the surgery and see I'm doing really well. I keep lifting weight and doing other thing to keep the weight falling off so it's all good. Well until next! :-)

A New Me
I'm not the person I used to be. I've allowed God to come into my life, and now I'm set free--free from all the things that had me in bondage: all the past hurt and pain, disappointments and shame. It's a new me. I refuse to let the enemy keep me in misery! I've got the key to stay set free. The Word will always and forever keep me. See, I have changed the company I keep, the way I walk, talk, and see things. It's a new me. My self-esteem has changed; I'm no longer the same. I am beautiful and the Word tells me I can have love, joy and peace. Watch out world, it's a new me!
God Has Kept Me Here For A Reason
Repeat after me: God has kept me here for a reason. I survived because He has a plan for me. All my bad relationships, the addictions, the consequences, the bad credit, the repossessions, the death of my loved ones, the back stabbing from my friends, the negative thoughts, or the lack of support; I made it because I am blessed! I release and let go of all past hurts, misunderstandings and grudges because I am abundantly blessed! I recognize them as the illusions they are, and sent from the enemy to kill my spirit, steal my joy, and destroy my faith; For God is all there is. All else is a lie! Now give yourself a hug, wipe your tears away and walk in victory!!!!!!!! I love you, but more appropriately God loves you BEST! Be blessed and know that you are at one with THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD! And may the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other. Genesis 31:49. Amen! Be Blessed "The Will of GOD will never take you where the GRACE of GOD will not protect you.

Well I know it’s been a while since I updated my profile. I am about 218 lbs down about 195 lbs to date. Man trying to adapt to people calling you sexy, fine is a big adjustment for me you know. It’s been about a year and a half since the surgery. Man is it me or do you guys find it very sickening when people talk about overweight people around you and think its cool, never giving it a second thought. That really gets on my nerves when they do it and you say something about it, and they be like; oh you’re not like that anymore relax. Are you guys going through some of that please let me know? At work it’s like being a foreign animal at the zoo, look at Joel, girl he lost a whole person ain’t he fine. Don’t get me wrong some attention is cool, but for the most part I don’t need it like that all the time. As long as my wife love what she sees, that’s all I need. Joel is happy with Joel right now that’s my concern. Another thing, I guess people get use to seeing you one way, but when you lose a lot of weight they start tripping. What is it about people telling you to stop right there you look good at that weight, I DON”T THINK SO!!! I mean they act like you are losing weight for them or for their approval. NAH!!! I don’t hear the BIG JAY or BIG JOEL no more and I really kind of miss it, don’t get me wrong being sexy is cool too. :-} That was just me for so long, to say the least it’s been an adjustment. I really miss updating my profile, but life is full of obstacles and you really got to stay on your game man. You guys really inspire me to still to this day every time I go online and read the emails, I might not reply but I do check my email for sure. I try to stay as real as I can from the start, that’s my M.O. Joel is real. I don’t care if I’m Mr. Universe or whatever I go on to do whatever I need to do so that I can stay true to myself and all who I have contact with. With that, I must say that not being able to talk to you guys on a regular base has been eating at me, this website has really been a life line for me and my wife and millions of others and I really have to say that this is a part of my life. It gave me the courage to go through with the surgery. I was reading testimonial, about 3 months prior to my surgery. I don’t care how good people say we look or how sexy and fine we become, we must never forget that people need us to keep them encourage and vice verse. That’s why I felt guilty for not updating on a regular basic, I felt that I was letting people down who needed that inspiration, because I know I needed it and still do. Only we can truly understand the transformation we are going through mentally and physically. Please keep the emails coming. I really thank each and every one of you that sends me emails. I do read them and will try to respond as quickly as possible. Much luv to all of you, WSL Family. Until next time, I’ll Holla……
Yeah, you guys are my family truly believe that, because best believe I don’t write this much for anybody. I have finally posted some update pics. So check them out. Me and My wife are thinking about going to get some real one done, so be looking out. :-}
Be Blessed WSL Family
