Hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I did. I got to hang out with some friends on Saturday night, and then I got to see my family yesterday for a few hours. I got to spend some time with my grandma. She really enjoyed seeing Reese, and she wanted me to stand up so she could have a good look at me with the weight I've lost.
My grandma has always been my biggest supporter. If the world could see me through my grandma's eyes, I'd be bigger than Oprah. =) She always makes me feel better about myself. I grew up watching my grandma do it all. She never drove, but that didn't stop her from getting everything done that needed to be done. She walked everywhere, or took the bus. And some of my greatest memories of her is walking to the grocery store, or White Castles for some lunch. I was her little shadow. I wanted to be with her all the time. I still do, but it's hard, being I have my own family now, and I live 35 miles away.
As I watched my grandma yesterday it made realize that if she can go through what she's gone through the past 5 years, I can lose this weight. I mean really, she is my inspiration. Sure, Reese is, and always will be my #1. But my grandma is a very, very close behind her.
I want to make myself proud, and lose this weight once and for all. But now, more than ever, I want to make my grandma proud, no matter how she sees me already!
