Today my new life begins, Today I have agency. The power to choose right from wrong, the knowledge of Good and Evil. Today I Make a Change, a change that's going to have a huge impact in my life. A change that's going to bring my more joy more joy slogan I've been saying and seeking for so long. Today I'm going to be a new born baby well in Christ though. At first I wasn't sure about it, I hated change....I'm the type that would like to stick to the old things than to make a change, thinking of how scary it will be when I change things. I wasn't comfortable with the 'thing will never be the same' idea. I remember Elder Reid saying 'some change is good and this particular change you making is going to bring you blessings, joy and peace. Elder Merrill said some years back if I told you how I lived my life and now I'm here in Ghana on a mission you won't believe me and trust me I didn't have an idea of what that change they were talking about because I still wasn't ready to listen and make that change. Gradually I opened my heart to the teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Elder Reid and Elder Merrill had for me. I loved and still love the scripture teachings my two missionaries taught me. I know the truth and I'm not mad at God anymore. I Believe in the Heavenly Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and Today it is in their name that I'll get to be baptise in The Church Of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. I'll tell you all about my baptism, experience so far, my life, missionaries etc later! PEACE

Some even went to the extent of saying I’m not coming to class because I said I’ve gained weight; that was sad. The comments they passed did hurt but it didn’t motivate me to change my lifestyle. As time went by, I got so used to their fat body shaming and comments. But what they didn’t know was the fact that I had already given up on myself: so nothing they said was actually going to push me to change. Even with that I’ll start eating healthy for a minute, hit the gym and give up on that same week. Until my course mate took a picture of me when I wasn’t looking after I had instructed him not to take any picture of me. A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. My first look at the pictur...
