As long as you stick to your plan, you'll do great! And by working there, you'll probably get so sick of it you won't want to eat it anyway!

My grand kids call me grandma, which is fine except with all the blended families around they have about 10 grandmas each. Think they any woman over 40 is their grandma. One of my grandkids was talking about grandma and her mother asked which one and she said "grandma with all the dogs and one cat".

I became a grandmother at 39 too! I figured I'd just cut to the chase and be GRANNY like on Beverly Hillbillies. I mean what the heck, I'm a granny! I'm so glad… my grandchildren are complete trips.
My first grandchild (who is now 14 1/2 years old) called me Ganny (Granny). So that's me, Granny! I embraced it. I love it. So when my second grandchild came along (she's now 11 years old), Granny it is.
I called my father's mother Nana (she was a glamourpuss and didn't like to be called Grandma because it made her feel old). I called my maternal grandmother Grandma. Loved them both dearly and miss them so much!
Are you expecting your first grandchild?
That surprises me that NCL would be your least favorite? Can I ask why? We've done Carnival and NCL and feel NCL was 10x better. Better food, better entertainment, and we shop for their kids cruise free sales and save that way. We did a 7 day out of Tampa to Honduras, Belize, Costa Maya and Cozumel and it was like $700 for the four of us with the kids sail free special. The shows were astounding, the seasons one was definitely big theatre quality and even my boys loved it, modern dance and trapeze is not their typical thing. Now saying that we've done Carnival far more than NCL because they are hands down cheaper when compared to regular rates and when I'm taking the entire family (7 people) and need 3 rooms I can't afford NCL. Alaska is on my must do list for cruises but none of the kids are interested.

wooow.
I actually don't have anyone in my life that has gained it all back or blah blah blah. I have a family member who had RNY 5 years ago and she went down to 125 but was more comfortable in the 140's so she bounced up and had maintained it for three years now.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
