Next Step

Jan 16, 2011

Well I finished my nutrition classes and had to miss the last two.  My grandma got sick and I went down to help out for a week and ended up there for a month.  My grandma had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer but they said 80% chance for remission......she died17 days from the day she was diagnosed.  It was a huge shock!

It was a very hard month!  I am usually a stress eater but I ended up losing weight while I was taking care of her.  It was after I came home that I gained about 2lbs back before I realized I had fallen back into old habits.  I have repented, lol, and am back on track.

I thought that missing those two classes would get me kicked out of the program but it didn't thank God!  I have just a few more meetings and then I should be well on my way to surgery.  I am hoping for  March!

Just a few months ago I was visiting my grandma, we were sitting outside just talking when she looked at me and said, "Honey, you are too beautiful to be so heavy.  Please promise me you will work on losing weight.  I love you no matter what but I know you would be much happier and healthier if you lost some weight."  It took me a bit off guard because she never really said anything about my weight.  I realized then that I HAD to change.  Now that she is gone I really want to honor her and myself by getting this weight off.

So onward and upward to smaller :) and better things!
