I pounded on the weight while my dad was dying. Well, I had put on alot prior to that but once he told me last year that he had small cell lung cancer, an extremely aggressive form of cancer, I started eating like there was no tomorrow, for anyone!
Since his passing & burial, 2 weeks ago. My grief has suppressed my appetite. Which in itself is a good thing in one way.
I've told my mom that my intention is to eventually get the gastric sleeve surgery. She was thrilled for me because she knows how hard I've been struggling with my weight for the last 10 to 14 years now.
For the moment, I'm going to stick to just seeing if pushing back from the table sooner will work for me. I'm old school. Finish everything on your plate. Not good! I'm starting a new job too, so I'm hoping the size 20 uniform starts to fall off me sooner rather than later. My knickers are always the best sign of my weight loss. I can't be the only one!?
Chin up for me & I'll do my best....I know my dad would want that for me too. He always watched his figure. Think he did it more for my mom than himself. She's always kept herself trim & gorgeous.
Will keep ye posted .... Sending Love to you all ❤️❤️❤️

@Bootylicious!1, Thank you Hon 💕
I think doing this will help me get through my grieving. I'm taking it easy. My appetite is a bit shot. So, in another while, I know it'll come back but I'll just push back from the table a little sooner. My husband's mom is now dying too, so, we are both having to support each other massively. We've both been to hell n back together, years ago. I had 2 miscarriages & a still birth. He was fantastic. Luckily, we make a strong team. God truely blessed us!

So sorry to hear the news about your dad. I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must have been going through that. Its great you are starting to take back control of things. The fact you are on this weight journey is a testament to that. You can do this, just take things at your own pace & remember its a marathon not a sprint. Good luck!

You've got this. Sometimes something as huge as a loss really helps us focus on what is important and our health/mental well being is important. My mum died in January. I was already on a diet but not as strict as when they told me mum was on end of life care. Once she had passed away I felt like I was losing weight for her, because she would absolutely want me to grab hold of life and live it to my best. I. Love yourself and don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day xx
