Hello Friends!
Who is "Big Bealuh" you may ask, she is the fat girl I use to be and she is out like the eight track player, never to return! But she is trying hard! Okay here's the deal, instead of the scales going down, they are going up!! I am back up to 206! I can't believe it! What am I doing to myself?!  Am I crazy!

Okay, Okay, it is all my fault, I have been cheating, a lot! I have been eating valentines chocolate, McDonald's sweet tea, french fries, pretzels, popcorn, chips, and then I try to drink a gallon of water to make up for all the salt! I am bloated, depressed and disgusted! 

I act like I don't remember the fat faced, triple stomach, rolls in the back, knees hurting, can only use the handicapped bathroom, couldn't run, had to rock to get up off the couch, depressed, person I use to be!

I wasted too much time, effort and money to go back now! I am an emotional eater and I have to channel that energy into something else! I usually don't weigh myself, but I put on a pair of pants this morning, size twelve and they were really tight and high waters! You know what that means, "Teena's got a big ol' BUTT, and it is hiking my pants up! They were so uncomfortable I took them off and put on another pair of pants, now I'm sitting here with these big stretch pants on a big shirt and a blazer, feeling 65 years old!

I am really dissapointed with myself right now! I know this is only for a season, I have to give up all the bad and start over. Please pray for me!

NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS WORTH ME GOING BACK! I AM GOING TO BEAT THIS DEMON!

I hope you guys are doing better than I am right now!
Be Blessed!

Hello friends!
Let me tell you what happened to me! I was home helping my husband put siding, a new floor, and doors on this old building that we made out of a shed for storage. It came out quite well I have to tell you! I love doing things like that, painting, sewing and building! (Not painting portraits, painting furniture, and stuff like that!)

Anyway getting back to my story, well my younger sister called and said girl you need to get out of the house, all you do is stay home! So we went on a sister's day, just her and I, and I had a ball! We went shopping, well she went shopping, I am financially challenged, she took me out to lunch and just spent money on me! Anyway, when we got to the mall, we were walking around and people were asking were we twins which made me feel good b/c I am 5 years older.  Some people thought she was older b/c for the first time in life she is bigger than I am! Yaaaaaaah! Okay, Okay, enough of the gloat, back to the story, as we were walking through the mall, I saw this lady, and she had on a pair of blue jeans that were about a size 9, this honey looked like she wore about a fourteen! the pants were really tight and stopped right at the middle of her behind! ILL!

All of this sista's CRACK was out! And the way she walked, you noticed! You really noticed! I was so busy looking at this woman's CRACK, that I didn't realize I had to step down, and yall I fell, and when I say fell, I fell! It was like slow motion, when I realized that I was going to fall all the way down I thought, 'dear Lord, I can't fall on these bad knees! So I tried to twist my body to avoid my knees, and sprained a muscle in my back, but I kept on rolling! All these people were looking so I jumped up b/c whoever didn't see me wasn't going to see me and it wasn't like I could sue the owners of the mall for me falling from looking at this woman's CRACK, I didn't even know if I had broke the heel off of my boot, I just jumped up, fixed my shirt, swung my weave, and strutted! My sister was laughing so hard she was crying!

But that's not all, I went to the doctor and he gave me tylenol with codeine and it gave me hives! I wasn't allergic to it b/4 surgery! I was in bed for 4 days, back killing me, iching like I had poison ivy, had to use sick days, scratched my leg and my boots, all because....
CRACK DOES KILL!!!

Have a blessed day!
Love Teena

Good Morning My OH Friends!
You may have noticed that I took the pictures of my daughters off of the website, there is a reason for this. A young lady in college was at a Starbucks and was recognized by someone who saw her picture on the internet. (this person had been stalking her) This was a well-dressed, handsome young man in his mid-thirties that approached her and told her that he was an old school mate of her mothers from Alabama, he knew her mothers' name b/c it too was on the internet. To make a long story short, he asked her to call her mother so they could reunite (he only knew she was from Alabama b/c of.....you guessed it the internet page!) The girl thought nothing of it and called her mother. She gave the guy the phone and after talking to him, her mother didn't remember the guy, but he convinced her, even told her she had a sister and said the sisters name. After a little more conversation, He asked the Mother for her number and gave her his. About a week later, he saw the young lady in Starbucks again, this time she is comfortable with him because she knew he had talked to her mother. He offered to buy her coffee and they sat and talked. Not realizing it she gave him all kinds of information, where she was attending school, which dorm she lived in, just about everything! (kids are so naive!) He became obsessed with the young lady. About a month went by and he started making advances towards her when she rejected his advances, he ended up killing her! If I'm not mistaken, her Mother's profile was on "my space", but as the news achor said, it could have been any web-site. We post everything about ourselveds on the internet. I love this web-site, and I don't think we have anything to worry about as far as our pictures go, you just have to be careful putting your children's pictures up. They don't think like we do. They think they know EVERYTHING, but we all know that they are still wet behind the ears.

I thought this was worthy of passing on, if it saves one person then it was worth it. I don't want to take the wind out of anyone's sail!
Be Blessed and Be Careful!

This has not been a good week! My husband and I were fussing like cat’s and dog’s! I hate fussing more than anything in the world, I guess b/c I grew up in a household were all my mother did was yell!

For the first 15 years of our relationship my husband never fussed about anything, now he fusses about everything! I asked the Negro to help me move the bed to the other side of the room, and he helped, but then I didn’t like it so I asked him to help me move it again! He yelled, “I better make up my mind”! No Negro, you better make up your mind because I have you because I want you not need you! You better recognize! If you don’t want to help move a bed then don’t, it may take me a little longer, but it can be moved without you! You just remember this conversation when you want this same bed to move tonight!

And ya’ll know that is exactly what I told him. You better believe he got himself together and moved the bed! (And of course I gave in later that night wasn’t no need punishing myself!) Now he's treating me like I am a Goddess or something! Sometimes that can get on your nerve too when they treat you too nice! He is so scared that I am going to walk out, like I am stupid enough to start all over with another man, doesn't he realize that I have 23 years invested! I lost weight not my mind! I am too old to start over! I talk a good game, but I'm not going anywhere!

Here’s a picture of me my husband took yesterday playing with the camera on his new phone, now that I got him straight it’s all good! (Sometimes we have to “whip” them back in shape, this picture was taken right afterwards so I am a little winded and a little sweaty!)

Happy New Year! 
I hope everyone is healthy and happy! My year is starting out just fine! I am down to 201, just can’t get to the one sees. We are on the Daniels fast at church were you only eat fruit and vegetables, so I know I will see the one sees soon! Everyone is so excited for me. I do look really different. The amazing thing is people walk right by you and don’t recognize you! 

My daughter, her BFF Ashley (I’m trying to learn text codes!) and I were at IHOP on New Years’ day (for my daughters birthday, she’s a New Years baby) and this lady who usually talks a lot when she comes to school to get her son, just walked past and waved, so I waved back. Well we happen to sit at a table across from each other and she kept looking at me and turning her head before I got the chance to say anything. So I just figured that she was hating! My daughter said, do you see her keep looking at you like that? I said yeah, just don’t pay her any attention. 

Well as the lady was leaving she stopped by our table and said, I’m sorry to stare but you look just like this lady from my son’s old school. Do you know Teena Dale? You guys have got to be related! 

My daughter says this is Teena Dale, and she says no, I’m talking about the Teena Dale who’s in the special ed department at the middle school, she’s tall like you, she’s a pretty lady, but really heavy set, you know big boned! 

I just laughed and said sweetie it’s me, and you are Aaron’s mother correct, how is he coming along at the high school?

She was so embarrassed! She said, Miss Teena, this is really you! What did you do! Oh my God, this is amazing! Do yawl see her? Oh my God, you are beautiful, well you always were pretty, but now you are gorgeous!

Well by now everyone is looking at us and I am embarrassed! So I wrote down my phone number and told her to call me and we would talk.

I didn’t eat another bite at IHOP cause I was on this emotional high! As we were riding home, I was thinking, my God did everyone look at me as the heavy set and big boned girl?

Okay for my progress! It has been 1 year 7 months since surgery. God is good. I am wearing a size 12 now! I still wear a large shirt! I am still 5’11 ½ ” so I look smaller than I really am! This tool is the bomb! I love it!

Oh yeah, I have a friend at church who is getting this surgery next week. Her husband had the nerve to leave her b/c he said she was disgusting, the nerve of him. I don't want her to go threw this alone, we all know the emotional rollercoaster ride it is, so I am taking off to be with her! Please keep her in prayer, her name is Tish. (pray for her ugly husband too!)
Be blessed I love you! Teena

Okay, I was watching Entertainment tonight, and I saw Carney Wilson. She is uncontrollably gaining her weight back after having gastric by-pass surgery!

I know that this surgery isn’t a fix all but; I hate it when I see people gain the weight back. It made me sit up and fly right. I would just die if I gained the weight back.

There is this teacher here who had the surgery and he lost about 150#’s, well he has gained back about 170#’s!

I guess all we can do is take it one day at a time and if we cheat jump right back on the cabbage truck!

My progress is going really slow right now. I am 202#'s and getting very frustrated, b/c I want to be in the onesees so bad! Another lady at our school just had the surgery and she is in the onesees already! She is a lot shorter than I am though, so she looks bigger, but I am still very, distraught today. It will get better though.

You Guys Stay Encouraged

God Bless,

Teena

 

Why do people have to hate so much?! Okay, I went to a wedding reception on Saturday. I must tell you guys, I am not one to brag, but I looked good! My husband told me that I looked better than I ever have in my life! Three secrets achieved this for me and of course I am going to share it with you!

Secret #1 LONG SKIRTS I had on a long skirt suit, suede, the skirt was very tight at the top and flarred a little at the bottom. It also went to my ankles and the jacket stopped right at the waist. I had on a body shirt that was my skin color underneath, (which helped hold in my stomach) I also had on high heel boots, about 3 inches, which gave me the long, tall, model look!
Secret #2 UP-DOS! Yes ladies, up-dos, or short hair with volume always makes you look slimmer. It gives you that long neck look and it also makes your head appear smaller!
Secret #3 FASHION FAIR My makeup was flawless! Make sure you put on a good foundation before so you won’t be dry!

Okay, this is what happened! I walked into the building with my husband on my arm, and everyone turns around to look, so literally, all eyes were on me! A lot of my family was there from out of town and they haven’t seen me since I weighed over 300 pounds, others were people from around town who also haven’t seen me in years, or should I say in pounds! When I noticed everyone looking at me, I struck a poise! And this made everyone start laughing, well, just about everyone. Four of the ladies that were hostesses, including my Mom, gave me slurs and were lapping their eyes at me! Well, finally it was time for the bride and groom to cut the cake. I was standing there with my sister and a friend of mine. We were about in the middle of the room, and one of the four ladies called me over and said, “all of the attention is suppose to be on the bride and groom and instead everyone is still looking at you, could you please sit down so they can get the attention they deserve!!!!

What nerve! My feelings were so hurt! I wasn’t the only one standing! I strutted over and told my husband and sister I was ready to leave, and they both said don’t you dare! They are just jealous!

Oh my God, I am not use to this! I let it get to me so bad that I went out and had a drink and I haven’t had alcohol since the 80’s! 

How do you deal with this without getting depressed! Before people talked about you because you were too fat, now they talk about you because you look too nice! What is up with that?! If you have any stories to share about similar experiences, please do. And let me know what to do in case it happens again, I know it will!
 

Please pray for me!

Okay, call me stupid, but I ran out of vitamins. I felt fine so I just stopped taking them. About a week went by and I started feeling a little down, and I am always an up-beat person. I was still keeping steady with my weight, you know gain a pound lose 3, gain 4 lose 1! Back and forth! Well, I totally knocked my system off whack! I started having thoughts of suicide, I was really upset. My husband couldn’t do anything right. I argued all the time and I am the type of person who avoids an argument at all costs!

I didn’t like the way I was feeling, even though I thought it was due to stress, but I got medical attention anyway, and I was told it was the imbalance I had due to me not taking my vitamins! I didn’t realize they were so important! So everyone, take your vitamins!! I feel so much better now!

Okay for my progress, or lack there of! There’s good news and bad news! The bad news first, I have gained 2 pounds since last month, so I am at 206! I can’t get to the onesees, to save my life!! It is so frustrating! I exercise, eat right (most of the time) and everything! I don’t even cheat that much anymore! Anyway, for the good news, I am in a size medium shirts, and sweaters and my 14’s are too big, but I am not comfortable in a 12 yet (it’s the big o’ butt)! Yeah baby! I could use some help in the belly area, it’s a little flabby! I do sit-ups on the exercise ball, not consistent but enough that I should see results. The gym teacher says that no matter how many sit-ups I do, the skin is too stretched and I have to get plastic surgery! Can’t afford that with a daughter in college and the purchase of our new house, so I will have to be alright with it!

I hope everyone is doing great! Please continue to pray for me and my family and I will keep you in my prayers as well!

Love you! 

Hello guys itis the beginning of the school year, so I am soooo busy! Just wanted to update, I am doing great! I am eating better. I walk 5 miles on each day of the weekends and 2 during the week. I am not losing a lot of weight anymore, still haven't gotten into the onezee's holding steady at 204 pounds! Everyone at work says muscle weighs more than fat, I want to use that excuse but denial is what got me in this situation in the first place! I am still wearing a size 14 pants, some 12's. I wear a large shirt, but the other day I had on a small! Who would've ever thought that! Haven't taken any pictures, just haven't no particular reason because I love the way I look! I can't believe that I can say that and mean it! God is soooo Good! Martilinda, girl you are something else! I am so proud of you! Well, I am proud of all of us! Wether we lost 5 pounds or 200 pounds, a loss is a loss! Stay encouraged! What God has for you is for you! I really have to go! I love you all! Please be blessed!

Teena!

Hello all!

What a long Summer! I still don't have internet at home! My first day back to school was Monday, but we had a lot of meetings so I am just getting back to the computer, plus I had to get my room together and find the computer!

The summer has been challenging for me. My dog got hit by a car and lost a leg and an eye, but thank you Jesus, he is living! My husband almost lost it when he got hit! He was in the hospital for 10 days and it cost us almost $2,000!

The surgery went well! I am very happy with it! It is way better than I ever anticipated! With the weight loss surgery and the partial hysterectomy, I am a new woman! (My husband is loving it too!)

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS YOU ARE TRULY ANGELS!

My Mother moved in with us! That is actually a blessing. We haven't been very close during my life, so having her at the house kinds of forces us to talk! It is great so far! (Pray for me!)
