One of the kids laughed at her excitement to see me and said yes, she is here but she is fat! 2. MFP teaches us that part of our…

Yes, great!

It's okay to feel that way. I do to. But I want to be healthy more than I want my way! Sooo, keep pressing on through those moments of rebellion. It won't last forever. Take a long bubble bath and wash those worries away. You will be fine and healthy!!

My reward will be Not to embarrass my children and grandchildren in being the fat grandma anymore and they will be proud when they see me when they get off the school bus. Amen!

Don't panic. You are going to be just fine.

You will get the balance soon. Your exercise will have to be tracked also. It makes you…

Feel the fear and do it anyway. We all fall short. Give what you can and leave the rest up to the individual. People will respond positively I bet.
