I Want to Save Your Life

Sussy Taveras


Oh, man! What can I say? I'm having so many thoughts all at once. In general, I can sincerely say that this is the best experience, besides learning more and more about God, having my daughter and my current relationship, that I have ever had…so far, LOL. Super, super fun. Honestly, I prayed for over a year that a reality show like this would just pop up out of the blue and I could miraculously be a part of it. After hours and hours on the Internet, searching and searching for the opportunity, God definitely answered my prayers. True, true, true story. Of course, it has been a long journey: lots of ups and downs, including a few minor injuries along the way, dealing with school and for sure lots of almost irresistible temptations (sweet, sweet, sorrows...literally sweet), and much more. But up until now I’m still going "STRONG, POWERFUL, WOMAN!" Yeah, still have a little twitch there. I’ve moaned, complained, wanted to pull my hair out at times or even strangle a trainer or two (nah, just kidding), however as I see the big picture I’ve lost 50 lbs. in the process so far. I feel wonderful. I cannot describe how fantastic I feel, how much my health and spirit have improved, and I am eagerly waiting to experience the feeling of being (Dare I say it?) "fit." Yes, "fit." I want to go all the way, because I’ve never, ever been there. "FIT" even sounds delicious; certainly more than hearing "FAT." I’m just a vowel away, change the "A" for the "I" and now that I’ve savored a bit, I want a second plate and to keep 'em coming. Anyhow, I now know that it is possible to overcome the bulge even with all the stress in life. I am now confident that change is achievable and it is so exciting to fully feel and comprehend this concept in its entirety. I am 100% thankful to "I Want to Save Your Life" for getting me started and back on track with more knowledge and motivation. Again, it is amazing that I could be one of the blessed to have the support that this encounter has offered. In short, at the end of the day "love, perseverance, positivity and faith" are the main attributes that count. No matter what I’m faced with, I pray to lose the bulge, but never lose those.
