Single Mom Recreates Herself for the Better After Exploding a Bouncy Castle
Published on Tuesday, August 11th, 2020 | Written by Vivian Engle
It all started when single mom Jody Calhoun hired a bouncy castle for her open house party.
Her daughter Heidi was having fun in the bouncy castle with her new friends.
“Mommy! Come join me in the castle!” – Heidi
Not wanting to disappoint her daughter, Jody agreed to her request.
In the bouncy castle, the kids jumped around her, making it difficult for her to stand upright.
Suddenly, her foot slipped, and she fell, bringing down the bouncy castle with her. Terrified and trapped, the children started screaming and crying.
The mess she caused angered her neighbors. They started reprimanding her:
“Don’t you know how big you are?”
“Why did you join them? Don’t you know it’s for kids only?”
“We’re leaving! My kids won’t play with yours ever again.”
A Wake-Up Call She’d Never Forget
“I was ashamed. I’ve never felt so embarrassed and guilty in all my life.”
“Honestly, I was never this big to begin with…”
“My daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was younger. Her dad abandoned us when he found out, so I had to take care of my baby by myself.”
“I gained weight from all the comfort eating I did. Before I realized it, I had ballooned to 330lbs.” – Jody
The humiliation at the party was the last straw for Jody.
“I felt disappointed in myself for making Heidi go through that.”
“I only wanted to give her the childhood she missed because of all the chemo treatments.”
“But I failed.” – Jody
Yet her daughter didn’t blame her at all.
“It’s okay. You did your best! I love you, mommy.” – Heidi
Tears gushed down Jody’s cheeks as mother and daughter embraced.
“That Was When I Vowed That I’d Lose the Pounds No Matter What. For My Daughter, My Angel.”
Jody tried everything. She followed diets like Keto, Paleo, Atkins and even went to the Gym and attended fitness programs.
“But my flabs just wouldn’t budge.” – Jody
With zero progress, depression started to consume her.
She gobbled up pizzas, burgers, fries and wouldn’t eat anything the following day. But she’d relapse back into binging again when she reached her limit. It was the only way she knew how to cope.
One day, while on a jog, Jody felt her heart pounding in her ears. She stopped to catch her breath, but she felt increasingly dizzy.
Eventually, she blacked out.
The Next Thing She Knew, She Woke up in the Hospital
Dr. Anton Wilson, who was treating her, decided to shed light on her condition:
“Excessive dieting and exercising have put a lot of strain on your body.”
“It caused your blood pressure and sugar levels to drop too low which is why you always feel lightheaded and about to faint.”
Jody felt her heart break at the news. She didn’t know what else to do to shed her extra pounds.
“You need to help me, doctor. I can’t give up.”
“I need to do this for my daughter.” – Jody
A Shining Ray of Hope
Seeing Jody’s distress, Dr. Anton decided to help her. He handed her a box which read ‘Ellora™’.
“Ellora™ is the fruit of the 7-year research conducted by my team and I.”
“It was created to help our patients who struggle to lose weight to achieve and maintain their weight loss easily and safely.”
“All you need to do is stick it on any area that needs shrinking and the blend of organic and natural herbs infused in it will do its job: burning stubborn fat under the skin while accelerating your metabolism and suppressing cravings.”
“Without any of your effort needed.” – Dr. Anton
It Sounded Too Good to Be True
Jody was skeptical but she decided to give it a try anyway. To her surprise, the pounds started to shed.
In just 1 week, she dropped 27lbs. A month later, almost 85lbs were lost. Within 2 months, she successfully lost a total of 180lbs.
Eventually, her entire wardrobe had to be changed because she became too small for her clothes.
Good News Come in Threes
To turn that gloomy incident that started it all into a joyful one, Jody brought her daughter to a bounce house theme park.
Now, she can jump around with her daughter easily without the worry of popping the castle or hurting innocent children.
Her daughter even made friends at the theme park.
“It was the best day ever!”
“Not because I got to play in a huge bouncy castle with my new friends.”
“But because I got to spend time with mommy.” – Heidi
And to add to the amazing day, her daughter’s medical report determined that the chemotherapy treatments had been successful—she’s finally free of cancer!
“From now on, we can create more wonderful memories. Together.” – Jody
