    My papa also died from stage IV pancreatic cancer last Father's Day. The worst cancer there is, for sure. My prayers go out to you and your family!

    I know this was posted six days ago, but I just came across it now, and reading this was heartbreaking for so many reasons.

    I am so sorry about your sister. I know how horrible stage IV pancreatic cancer is, as I just lost a family member to it last year. On November 1st I'm participating in a Purple Stride event to raise awareness and money for pancreatic cancer research. That day, I will not only be thinking of my grandfather, but now of your sister as well.

    You are so strong for dealing with everything you have dealt with to this point. You can do this! Don't ever give up, and keep up the great work you've put in so far!

    My heart goes to you. I think watching family suffer is one of the greatest heartaches of life.

    You need to believe you deserve to have every dream fulfilled and success at whatever you put your mind to.

    Great success to your journey!

    I found myself in tears after reading your introduction. It was truly touching.
    I'm really sorry about your sister, sometimes life is just so horribly unfair that the best people we love the most leave us beforehand. But no matter what, I can guarantee you she knew you loved her, so don't give yourself a hard time because I'm sure you don't deserve it. If she took such good care of you it was not only because she was an amazing person but because you also are. Please, please, whatever you do do not punish yourself, it's no use and it only brings you down. Remember you're moving forward!
    My advice: think of this as a project. You are your own project, you have the power to improve yourself, and you are the only one capable of doing it. You deserve better than feeling like crap all the time. Make yourself proud!
    In a nutshell, I think you're awesome and hope you the best. And of course, you have my full support.
    Best of luck! :heart:

    We all got to be out heaviest weight for different reasons and how heavy we got varies from user to user. But the most important thing we all recognise is that we reached a point where things had to change. You should be incredibly proud of yourself, life hasn't been easy but you're doing so amazingly well now!

    I really hope to see more of you around the MFP boards. You're really an inspiration of what someone can do when they really put their mind to it
