Our Story
Surviving Obesity Surviving Obesity Nonprofit Organization was created over a year ago under the 501c3 name Mr. & Mrs. Fitness Center. In 202o The name was changed to Surviving Obesity because my husband Michael Center and I finally realized that obesity was about to kill us, but God blessed us with another chance to really get this under control. After gaining and losing, and losing and gaining more times then I (Tockqua) can admit, I have finally realized that I am a professional dieter, and in order for me to win this war against obesity I had to stop. Today our goal for this nonprofit is to share our stories with you all, and hopefully help you understand the things we’ve done right, and the things we’ve done wrong. We hope we will encourage you to start your own journey, and we hope we can help you along the way. Thank you so much for following us, please let us know your thoughts and share us with your friends. Remember we are a nonprofit organization, so if you need help with your journey, email us at [email protected]
OUR HISTORY
Mrs. Tockqua Center a two-time breast cancer survivor and epileptic admits that she became obese in her early teenage years. "Being a survivor of childhood molestation and teenage r**e cause me to just not care about my body, I became bigger and bigger and found that I felt safe in that space." She credits her husband that she met in 2010 (Mr. Center) for providing a different type of "safe space." "Mike came in and cleaned out our cabinets, took out all the fructose and introduced our household to the fruit bowl that we like to call our household candy jar." This allowed her to lose 70lbs between 9/2012-6/2013 and another 50lbs by 7/2014.
Mr. Center lost almost 40lb the last 3 months of 2014 and, their teenage daughter dropped 20lbs and that dreadful title "borderline diabetic." "Childhood obesity starts with our parents, says Imani their daughter. If there was more teaching and less judging parents or assuming every parent knows better I believe there would be a lot less obese families overall." Imani also stated, "If we really want to win the war against childhood obesity, let’s start with providing free information and making it mandatory for all parents leaving the hospital and, those getting government assistance to take health classes on a regular basis. Understanding that with every adult that is taught how to live healthy, the percentage of obese families would decrease.
