I was miserable though. I’d think, “How could he love me?” Even though some of Spencer’s friends were speaking horribly about me, he never stopped loving me.
When we’re overweight, we push away people who love us. In terms of sexuality, we (obese people) are forgotten. We forget to dress up and feel good. Becoming angry on the inside, it manifests itself on the outside.
My Prince Charming - Spencer did show up. And we got things together.
Basil & Spice readers have excitedly been awaiting this interview with you.
What advice do you have for them?
Khaliah: There’s no such thing as ever too late. My mom is in her 50s, and my aunt is in her 60s. They both have a band.
A time will come when you have to make a choice what to do. We are blessed to live during a time in history when there are so many options to improve the quality of life.
Listen to what is good for you, honor yourself, listen to yourself. Women are intuitive - we know what we know. Take a quiet moment, listen to what your heart is telling you.
You can’t help someone until you help yourself.
Start with yourself. Your body is your house.
You are an inspiration for other overweight women. Has this experience changed how you view life?
Khaliah: Completely - as equal to how my son changed my life. He’s more of course, but life is drastically altered. You realize what changes your perception. I use it as a tool.
Has the fairy tale ending of being thin come completely true?
Khaliah: Yes, it absolutely has come true. This is a tool. I work with this tool. I’m a healthy happy size 10. It’s who God made me to be.
Khaliah, thank you for your time. Have a nice evening.
Thank you Kelly.
