Keep my Promise

This March, I lost my grandma, my rock, and the person who always believe in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself. Her passing has left huge hole in my life, but it's also given me a renewal sense of purpose. My grandma always worried about my health especially my weight. At over 400 lbs, I know I haven't been living the healthy life she wanted for me. So I making a promise to her and myself to change that.

My Promise:

I'm starting this blog to document my Journey. It's not just about losing weight; it's about honoring my grandma's memory and making her proud. I'm taking the difficult but necessary step on pursuing weight loss surgery. It's a tool, a new beginning, and a way for me to take control of my health and future.

The Road Ahead:

This won't be easy. There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments when I want to give up. But I'll keep thinking of my grandma, her unwavering love, and the promise i made her. I want to live a long health life.

Oh My! I could have written this, myself! In fact, I think I DID! I will have to read back on my profile "novel", starting in late 2001.

My granny was "my person"- hands down! She loved me, unconditionally, no matter how fat I got, how many times I got divorced, etc. She was obese, herself, and always worried about MY health- even though my health stayed pretty good. I had RNY, on 4/22/02. Granny died 10/18/02, so she didn't get to see me reach goal, etc, but, she knew when I hit the Century Club, and she was so excited!!

You keep honoring your grandma! That constant love is better than any cookie or ice cream will ever be!
