100 Pounds gone

So, you can rejoice in your success and share it every year with your loved one, whose passing now marks a watershed moment in your life. I'm sure she'd be happy you have the opportunity to re-dedicate this day to saving your life instead of just her passing. Congratulations, big time! Love to your Maw Maw!

Since I started my journey, I've lost many people, including my mother, an older sister and a younger brother. But it was losing my dear dad, who was almost 86 when he died, that galvanized my decision to change my life. I think about him all the time and wish he'd been around to see how I succeeded. And if my sibs had managed to change their lifestyles, they would both still be here, my sis born in 1947 and my brother born in 1954. I can't say I feel too sentimental about my abusive, crabby, cruel old mother, who, of course, lived to 93. She was born on 2/22/22. Her passing actually liberated my brother and sisters who were still alive. I had already broken the chain before she went, so it was neither a celebration nor a tragedy for me. It just was. But I really miss Tim and Kathy and wish they could have made life-affirming decisions so they'd still be with us.
