''change is possible today''says Tshego Rankapole
 |
| A 27 year old Tshego Rankapole who started the journey of losing weight in 2015. She is not just a beautiful lady but she is poet and a believer. |
In 2010 she gave her life to God and accepted God as her lord saver. One of the biggest parts of her life is her relationship with God and that is a tone that sets her life.She believes that without a relationship with God through the holy spirit she is nothing, ''There is something that changes one's perspective when you realise you're important to a sovereign God''she said.
Tshego she is lady who is passionate about change, she worked as a change analyst for two years and that is where the passion for change and implementation of change was ignited.She loves changing things for the better because from view of things change is the only constant, Another thing that she is passionate about is the love she has for her fellow sisters(from all walks of life) her life is always inclined to teach life lessons that she has learned and seeing them change for the better.
During her teenage years she started writing poems but never considered it to be poetry.She always simply saw it as notes expressing her emotions or view of certain things.When she was in grade 10 she had a massive crush on this guy so she wrote a poem about it and submitted it to the love life magazine, the poem was later published on the magazine.Tshego said ''I remember running to my friends after school to show them the poem that i wrote but unfortunately my man crush never got the see the poem''.
In 2010 when she gave her life to God she stopped writing poems for a while. The writing was later ignited when she wrote a poem titled ''Who we are in him''.The poem was a heartfelt to her fellow sisters in christ. She write often but she is very picky and choosy as to whom she will share her poems with because when she writes her poems she pours out her heart out.One of her favorite peom is “Love like you love me”It’s basically a prayer she have made and frequently make to God to teach her to love His people the way that He loves them.'' So often our love as people is conditional. But God loved us so much that He gave up His only begotten Son''she said.

On the 29 September 2015 she made a conscious
decision to change her lifestyle in order to lose weight. She always been
overweight and she has horrible stories on how this hindered her , even from an
early age to perform her fullest potential. she has horrible stories on how she was belittled because of being obese at primary and high school. It got to a
point where she turned to self-mutilation and made stupid decisions at an early
age because of her low self-esteem. she grew up hatting her and instead of
making the right changes she became more of an emotional eater.Food (chocolates,
ice-cream and takeaways) became an escape from all the bitterness and low
self-esteem.
Tshego said''On the 29th September I remember very well God speaking to me about my health He
said that He had called me to preach the gospel to the nations; however there
will be people who will never take what I say seriously if I am unhealthy and
obese. He spoke about me being balanced in all aspects of life – spiritually,
socially, financially etc''. She decided that day that she would make the change.She created a instagram account named '' @changeisposibletoday''.
In the beginning she made drastic changes to her diet and lifestyle. she cut out sugar, fizzy drinks, juice, a lot of carbs
(bread, pap, rice and potatoes), chocolates, chips etc. she ate only fruits,
vegetables, lean proteins. she also started to put to use her gym membership which she had not used for the past year.
She want to help people kick-start this
journey in their own lives because being healthy is good and its God’s desire
for His children. Tshego hopes to become a lifestyle coach in the near future using her very own story on how she have managed to lose the weight.she has lost to 30Kg in 11 months and
want to lose another 40kg. It has proven to be more difficult to lose as
radically as she initially did. She think she have reached a plateau and she is very well
aware that she need to put in more effort towards breaking the plateau. She plan to
add more intensive exercise and watch what she eat!
